I. FIRST HALF 2019 REVIEW - PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL POSITION

During the first half of 2019, the Greek economy continued to stabilize and recover, after a decade of deep, accumulated recession. The increasing market confidence in Greece, was reflected in the downward trend of Greek government bond yields, which signals the gradual improvement of the country's funding.

The announcement of national polls at the end of the reference period, and the subsequent election of a single-party government with absolute majority in parliament, for the first time since 2009, strengthened the expectations regarding the prospects of the Greek economy in the near future.

The extent to which Greece will benefit from the positive economic sentiment, to speed up economic recovery, will depend on the progress of structural reforms and the adoption of an investment-friendly economic policy mix, combined with the safeguarding of fiscal stability.

The achievement of higher growth rates remains a critical challenge. The weak growth momentum following the completion of the economic adjustment programs, has been keeping the economy in a fragile state against domestic and external risks, while maintaining a level of uncertainty regarding the country's ability to service its public debt in the long term.

A low level of productive investments, the reduced ability of banks to fund the economic activity, mainly due to the high stock of NPLs, as well as the negative impact of a high primary surplus target, are among the main impediments to the acceleration of growth.

At the same time, significant downside risks arise from the external environment, including the slowdown of global economic activity, amid trade protectionism and geopolitical tensions, the uncertainty around the possibility of a nodeal Brexit and the risk of instability facing the economies of Italy and Turkey.

Keeping a close monitor on domestic and international developments, MYTILINEOS continued to implement a sound strategy, aimed at the company's extrovert growth and the further strengthening of its position in each of its core activity areas, building a solid basis, that will allow it to harness opportunities and maximize the benefits from the recovery of the Greek economy.

Metallurgy and Mining Sector

The decline in Aluminium prices during the second half of 2018 continued during the first half of 2019, mainly due to the withdrawal of the penalties against Rusal and the impact of the US – China trade war which affects demand worldwide.

More specifically, during the first half of 2019, the average price for Aluminium in the LME stood at \$1.826/t, down by approximately 17.3% in relation to the corresponding period of the previous year, was partially offset by increased premia for Aluminium products (+16.0%).

The API Index for Alumina, after its unprecedented rise in 2018, due to US sanctions affecting the largest producer of alumina and aluminium outside China, as well as the partial cessation of the world's biggest factory in Alumina production (ALUNORTE), returned to lower levels as the aforementioned circumstances ceased to exist. The price of H1 2019 was decreased by 17.4% in comparison to the average price of corresponding period of the previous year. At the same time, there has been a negative effect at the Alumina's sales prices except API.

The performance of the USD against Euro was strengthened, with the Euro/USD parity at 1.13 for the first half of 2019, compared to 1.21 of the corresponding period of the previous year.

Raw material prices have begun to decline, but the cost has been negatively affected by both the different mix of bauxites for alumina production and the increased CO2 emissions' price.

EPC & Infrastructure Sector

The financial results of the first half of 2019, reflect a positive course of the EPC & Infrastructure Sector (EPC Projects), proving its durability. More specifically, EPC Project Sector turnover for the first half of 2019 came up to € 235.7 million compared to € 196.0 million of the respective period of 2018.

Significant events in 2019

In the early 2019, MYTILINEOS S.A.signed a contract for the construction of the Freight Center in Thriasio Plain, Western Attica, Greece, for an initial contractual amount of €109mn. The contract was signed with the consortium ETVA VIPE (Industrial Areas) and Goldair (THEK S.A), who are the Project's Concession Holders for the 60-year duration of the concession contract. The Thriasio Transit Project relates to the Design and Construction of the first Logistics Park in Greece, including the development of warehouses and supporting buildings covering a total surface of 235,000m2 within a land plot of 588,000m2, owned by GAIAOSE. In addition to the construction of building facilities, a road and a railway network will be constructed within the park aimed at supplying the warehouses. This combination of transport will be the first in the Greek logistics market.

Within 2019, MYTILINEOS S.A. also signed a contract with JAVNO PODJETJE ENERGETIKA LJUBLJANA, Ljubljana's energy company, engaged in electrical and thermal production, transmission and distribution, operating Slovenia's largest District Heating System. The contract involves the Engineering, Procurement and Construction of a new Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant in Ljubljana, Slovenia, substituting to a large extent coal with natural gas, thus reducing coal consumption by 70%. This new dual fuel (natural gas or extra light fuel oil) combined heat and power plant with total electrical power output of 110MW, is expected to make a vital contribution to meeting the electricity and district / process heating needs of Ljubljana's citizens. The contract value amounts to €118 million.

In 2019, METKA EGN signed with Total Eren turnkey Engineering, Construction & Procurement contracts, for two photovoltaic ("PV") projects in Kazakhstan, totaling a capacity of 128 MWp. Specifically, the first Project ("Nomad") is a 28 MWp PV power plant located close to the village of Zhalagash in the Kyzylorda region and the second Project ("M-KAT") is a 100 MWp PV Power Plant located next to the village of Shu in the Zhambyl region.

ΜΕΤΚΑ EGN is now one of the preferred suppliers of Total Eren. This achievement reflects the trust, know-how and reliability which ΜΕΤΚΑ EGN has attained in the market. The total contractual value of the projects amounts approximately to 117 million USD.

METKA EGN has also signed a contract with Atacama Solar S.A., a subsidiary of the solar independent power producer Sonnedix, to undertake the EPC and O&M of the Atacama Solar II 170.65 MWp PV project located in the municipality of Pica, Tarapaca Region, in Chile. The scope of the project includes the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of the Atacama Solar II plant, as well as a contract for the operation and maintenance (O&M) services for two years. The total contract value of the project amounts to 109 million USD.

In 2019, MYTILINEOS S.A. also announced the agreement for the acquisition of the remaining stake (49.9%) that it does not already own in METKA EGN Ltd. Following the completion of the transaction, MYTILINEOS SA will become the sole shareholder (100%) of METKA EGN Ltd. This transaction takes place within the framework of MYTILINEOS' overall energy plan, which will now include a platform for the construction, operation, financing and resale of photovoltaic power generation and storage units in Greece, but mainly in the international market. The total acquisition of METKA EGN ensures obvious synergies: The exceptional know-how developed in recent years by METKA EGN will benefit from increased financial flexibility, an increased ability to secure optimal agreements with suppliers and customers and will especially benefit from its increased size in the context of MYTILINEOS' investment activity in BOT projects.

Finally, itshould be noted that the backlog for the Group's existing projects amountsto € 1,214 million.

Electric power & gas trading sector

The first half of the year was marked by an increase of 4.1% in electricity demand compared to the same period in 2018.

The combination of low gas prices and high CO2 prices resulted in a significantly increased production of NG units (by 25.7% compared to the corresponding period of 2018).

Increased demand, in combination with high CO2 prices, led to an increase in SMP which averaged € 66.75 / MWh, increased by 26.5% compared to the corresponding period in 2018.

Both of the above (increased demand & high CO2 price), in combination with the ability to supply NG at highly competitive prices through the purchase of LNG loads, and the high efficiency, availability and reliability of the Company's units, have resulted in increased production to 2.62 TWh (an increase of 29.2% compared to the first half of 2018).

The total production of thermal and renewable units of the Company amounted to 2.82 TWh, representing 10.9% of total demand in the interconnected system (including net imports).

In terms of supply activity, Protergia is steadily strengthening its presence by now representing 157,000 electricity customers and 9,100 NG customers versus 129,000 and 4,600 respectively in December 2018.

In April 2019, a new 15.3 MW Wind Park was put into operation, increasing the Company's production capacity from RES to 192 MW, while 3 additional Wind Parks of total capacity of 30.2 MW are being constructed.

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 liaised bodies 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 above mentioned liaised bodies.

- ROCE (Return on Capital Employed): This index is derived by dividing profit before interest, taxes, depreciation & amortization, to the total capital employed by the Group, these being the sum of the Net Position; Total Debt; and Long - term forecasts.

- ROE (Return on Equity): This index is derived by dividing profit after tax and minority interests 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).

$$
WACC = \frac{E}{E+D} r_E + \frac{D}{E+D} r_D (1- T c)
$$

Where E Equity Capital D Debt rE Return on equity rD Return on debt Tc Tax rate

The calculation of the indicator Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) for the 1st half of 2019 sums to 9.25 %.

*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, which reveals the variability of the stock in relation to market fluctuations.

The above indicators for the presented period (on an annualized basis) as well as for the previous year, are as follows:

2019 2018
EBITDA 313,667 283,559
ROCE 14.06% 13.27%
ROE 9.00% 9.36%

ΙΙΙ PROSPECTS – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2019

1. Prospects for the second half of 2019

Metallurgy and Mining Sector

In the Metallurgy and Mining sector, the growth rate of global aluminium demand is expected to be affected by the possible continuation of the commercial war between US and China. From the first months of H2 2019 the LME price of aluminium is between 1,750 – 1,850 \$/t, while API index for alumina is also low (300 – 310 \$/t).

Raw material prices are already in a downward trend, which is expected to be further strengthened and improve the production cost and as a result the operating results of the company.

The production rate and the sales volume are expected to increase as a result of the investments made under the program "THE BEST", and more specifically for the modernization of the production of plates with the use of recycled aluminium. Moreover, the subsidiary company EPALME will contribute its results throughout H2 2019.

EPC & Infrastructure Sector

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 has increased the backlog of projects taken within 2019 and stays focused 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.

Electric power & gas trading sector

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 private electricity company, 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 H2 2019, the financial results of the Electric Power & Gas Trading Sector are expected to improve due to:

  • the decrease of the natural gas price due to excessive LNG supply, where MYTILINEOS has a significant advantage over its competitors
  • the increased availability of the thermal power stations, since programmed maintenance will be low,
  • the increased installed power of the Renewable Energy Sources, through the operation of 2 new Wind Parks with a total power of 19.2 MW raising the Company's production capacity from Renewables to 211.2 MW
  • enhancing the electricity trading activity.

The Company, after completing all required licensing procedures and with the assistance and experience of the EPC - METKA Project Division, will begin during autumn the construction of the new CCGT (826MW) power plant at the company's Energy Center in Ag. Nicholas. It is one of the largest CCGTs and the most efficient in Europe (with thermal efficiency greater than 63%). The commissioning date of the station is set in Q4 of 2021. With this station in its portfolio, MYTILINEOS will have more than 2000MW of electricity (plus the RES portfolio), contributing significantly in the country 's energy security but also with the capability of export to neighboring countries under the new European "target model". At the same time, MYTILINEOS contributes effectively to the production of "clean" energy, as the use of natural gas minimizes pollutant emissions and their impact. Burning gas emits less greenhouse gases than other conventional fuels, while a CCGT station is estimated to emit less than a quarter of the emissions of a thermal lignite unit.

Finally, on July 1, 2019, the Company successfully took part in the competitive procedure of RES projects announced by RAE for an additional 43.2 MW Wind Park.

2. Risks & Uncertainties

Financial risk management aims and policies

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.

Credit Risk

The Group does not exhibit any considerable concentration of credit risk in any of the contracted parties. Credit risk originatesfrom 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.

Liquidity Risk

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.

Market risk

Price Risk

The Group's earnings are exposed to movements in the prices of commodities, which are determined by the international markets and the global demand and supply.

The Group faces price risk from fluctuations in the prices of variables that determine both the sales and 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.

Regarding price fluctuation of metals, the Group's policy is to minimize risk by using financial derivative instruments.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group operates 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 nonderivative financial instruments with financial institutions on behalf and in the name of group companies.

At Group level, such financial instruments are considered to constitute compensation means for the exchange rate risk of specific assets, liabilities or future commercial transactions

Interest rate risk

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.

3. Description of the main risks and management function of the Group in relation to the preparation of the financial statements

Framework of internal control systems and risk management function of the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements

The reliability of the Group's and 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.

Regarding 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.

Organisation and implementation of risk management

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:

  • Identification and assessment of risk factors.
  • Planning of the risk management policy.
  • Implementation and evaluation of the risk management policy.

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.

Finally, 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.

Internal Control System

  1. In addition to everything mentioned herein and described above in connection with the competences of the Audit Committee, the Internal Audit Division of the Company is an independent organisational unit which reports to the Board of Directors. Its competences include, among others, the assessment and improvement of the risk management and internal control systems, as well as the monitoring of the compliance with the established policies and procedures as these are determined by the Internal Regulations of Operation, the legislation in force and the regulatory provisions.

Moreover, the following are examined and analysed on a continuous basis:

  • The efficiency of the Company's accounting and financial systems, audit mechanisms, quality control systems, health & safety and environmental systems, and business risk management systems.

  • The drafting of the financial statements and of other important data and information intended for disclosure.

  • The reliability, the qualifications and the independence of the chartered auditors.

  • 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%.

  • The legality of the fees and any kind of bonuses to the members of the management with regard to the decisions of the competent bodies of the Company.

  • The Board of Directors re-examines in a continuous and consistent way the corporate strategy and the principal business risks, especially in a constantly changing financial and business environment. Moreover, the Board receives at regular intervals from the Audit Committee reports on the activities of the audits carried out, based on the annual schedule of audits planned by the Company's Internal Audit Department. The above allow the Board to form a detailed opinion of the effectiveness of the systems, processes and regulations of the Company.

  • The external auditors do not offer to the Company and to the Group non-audit services which are prohibited, as per the provisions article 5 of Regulation (EU) 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council and of law 4449/2017.

V. Post Balance Sheet events

In July 2019, MYTILINEOS' subsidiary, METKA EGN, announces the signing of turnkey Engineering, Construction & Procurement contracts, with Total Eren, for two photovoltaic ("PV") projects in Kazakhstan, totaling a capacity of 128 MWp. Specifically, the first Project ("Nomad") is a 28 MWp PV power plant located close to the village of Zhalagash in the Kyzylorda region and the second Project ("MKAT") is a 100 MWp PV Power Plant located next to the village of Shu in the Zhambyl region. Both Projects will be the first PV power plants using single-axis trackers in Kazakhstan and are expected to enter operation by the end of 2019. Once completed, Nomad and M-KAT are expected to generate 225 GWh per year together, enough to supply the needs of about 40,000 Kazakh people while saving about 300,000 tons of CO2 per year. The total project cost for Nomad and M-Kat for Total Eren amounts to US\$ 157 million.

In addition, in July, the Company announced that one of the largest natural gas fired powered combined cycle (Combined Cycle Gas Turbine – CCGT) power stations in Europe is set to enter the construction phase.

The 826MW new CCGT station will be constructed within the company's Energy Center in Aghios Nikolaos, in the Voiotia region of Central Greece. The station will be operated by a GE H-Class gas turbine with a thermal efficiency of more than 63%, rendering the plant as the most efficient across Europe. The projected investment cost will be €300m. The new job creation will be mainly covered by local regional residents, as per MYTILINEOS' standard practice. The commissioning of the new plant is estimated toward the 4th quarter of 2021.

Finally, in August 2019, MYTILINEOS S.A. announces that its subsidiary METKA EGN has recently signed a contract with Atacama Solar S.A., a subsidiary of the solar independent power producer Sonnedix, to undertake the EPC and O&M of the Atacama Solar II 170,65MWp PV project located in the municipality of Pica, Tarapaca Region, in Chile. The scope of the project includes the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of the Atacama Solar II plant, as well as a contract for the operation and maintenance (O&M) services for two years. The project is expected to be completed in December 2020 and the production is estimated to cover the needs of more than 100,000 households, while contributing in the avoidance of the emission of around 200,000 metric tons of CO2 per year. The total cost of the investment for Sonnedix is of US\$180 million (EUR 160milllion).

In August 2019 MYTILINEOS S.A. (the "Company") announces that the Annual General Meeting of the Company's Shareholders, held on June 24, 2019, resolved, among others, to change the Company's business name from "MYTILINEOS HOLDINGS S.A." to "MYTILINEOS S.A." with the distinctive title "MYTILINEOS". On 17.07.2019 the Ministry of Finance and Development by its decision approved the relevant amendment of the Company's articles of association. As of Tuesday, September 3rd, 2019 the Company's business name on the Athens Exchange will be changed to "MYTILINEOS S.A." with the distinctive title "MYTILINEOS".

In September 2019, MYTILINEOS S.A. announces that its subsidiary METKA EGN has recently has recently entered an agreement for a 10-year electricity supply contract (PPA) with Coles, Australia's second largest super market chain. The electricity will derive exclusively from renewable sources. Specifically, 220 GW/h will be produced annually to power Australia's electricity system through three privately owned by METKA EGN photovoltaic parks in the New South Wales Region. With the use of solar energy, carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced by 180,000 tonnes per year. Coles' wide network of stores will cover 10% of its energy needs by purchasing 70% of the power generated by the three METKA EGN projects with total capacity of 120MW.

C. Independent Auditor's Report

To the Board of Directors of MYTILINEOS S.A.

Report on Review of Interim Financial Information

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed separate and consolidated statement of financial position of MYTILINEOS S.A. as of 30 June 2019 and the related condensed separate and consolidated income statement and statement of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and the selected explanatory notes that constitute the interim financial information, which forms an integral part of the six-month financial report under Law 3556/2007.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and apply for interim financial reporting (International Accounting Standard "IAS 34"). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim condensed financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Auditing Standards as incorporated into the Greek Law and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Our review has not revealed any material inconsistency or misstatement in the statements of the members of the Board of Directors and the information of the six-month Board of Directors Report, as defined in articles 5 and 5a of Law 3556/2007, in relation to the accompanying condensed separate and consolidated financial information.

7. Additional Information

7.1 Basis for preparation of the financial statements

The accompanying consolidated financial statements that constitute the Group's consolidated financial statements for the period from 01.01 to 30.06.2019 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), adopted by the European Union, and more specifically with the provisions of IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting". Moreover, the consolidated financial statements have been compiled on the basis of the historic cost principle as is 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.

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.

Discontinued Operations

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 crossborder merger of the subsidiary REYCOM and the subsidiary company ALUMINUM OF GREECE (ATE) was completed.

7.2 New Standards, Interpretations, Revisions and Amendments to existing Standards that are effective and have been adopted by the European Union

The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments of 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 01/01/2019.

IFRS 16 "Leases"

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 recognise assets and liabilities arising from a lease. The effect of the new Standard in the consolidated and separate Financial Statements is analyzed in Note 7.4.

IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments"

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 new Interpretation affects the calculation and accounting of income tax.

Amendments to IFRS 9: "Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation"

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 amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income if a specified condition is met. The amendments do not affect the consolidated/ separate Financial Statements.

Amendments to IAS 28: "Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures

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 amendments do not affect the consolidated/ separate Financial Statements.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs – 2015-2017 Cycle

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 amendments do not affect the consolidated/ separate Financial Statements.

Amendments to IAS 19: "Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement"

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 amendments do not affect the consolidated/ separate Financial Statements.

7.3 New Standards, Interpretations, Revisions and Amendments to existing Standards that have not been applied yet or have not been adopted by the European Union

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.

Revision of the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2020)

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.

Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2020)

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.

Amendments to IFRS 3: "Definition of a Business" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2020)

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.

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: "Definition of Material" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2020)

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.

IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2021)

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.

7.4 Changes in Accounting Policies

The group and the company proceeded with the adoption of IFRS 16 "leases" from 1 January 2019. IFRS 16 introduces a single model for the recognition of leases in the financial statements. By adopting the standard, the Group as a lessee recognizes in the statement of financial position rights of use of assets and lease obligations, the date when the leased fixed assets are made available for use. The accounting treatment of leases for the lessor remains the same as in IAS 17.

The group and the company applied IFRS 16 using the simplified method of transition. According to this method, the standard is applied retroactively with the cumulative effect of its application being recognized on 1 January 2019. According to the above, the comparative information of 2018 has not been reworded and presented in accordance with IAS 17. Changes in accounting policies regarding leases are analyzed below.

A. As a Lessee

The group and the company lease various assets such as plots, buildings, means of transport and machinery.

As a lessee, with the previous accounting policy, the group and the company classified leases as operating or financing based on the assessment if all risks and benefits related to ownership of a component of the Assets, irrespective of the final transfer or non-ownership of the title of the item. According to IFRS 16, the right to use assets and lease obligations is recognized for most of the leases to which it contracts as a tenant, except for small-value leases, the payments of which were registered with a fixed method in the statement of results throughout the duration of the lease.

The recognized rights to use assets are related to the following categories of assets and are presented in the "Right-ofuse Assets":

ΜYTILINEOS GROUP ΜYTILINEOS S.A.
(Amounts in thousands €) 30/6/2019 1/1/2019 30/6/2019 1/1/2019
Right-of-use Land plots 12,374 12,299 14 16
Right-of-use Properties 35,036 37,189 33,813 35,813
Right-of-use Vehicles 3,192 3,202 2,751 2,784
Right-of-use Equipment 128 153 - -
Right-of-use Assets 50,730 52,843 36,578 38,613

The group reflects the lease obligations on the "long term lease obligations" and "long term lease obligations payable to the next use" in the statement of financial position.

Significant Accounting Policies

Leases are recognized in the statement of financial position as a right to use an asset and a lease obligation, the date on which the leased fixed asset becomes available for use. Each rent is divided between the rental obligation and interest, which is charged to the results throughout the lease, in order to obtain a fixed interest rate for the remainder of the financial liability in each period.

The rights to use assets are initially measured at their cost, and then reduced by the amount of accumulated depreciation and any impairment. The right to use is depreciated in the shortest period between the useful life of the component or its duration, with the fixed method. The initial measurement of the rights of use of assets consists of:

• The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability,

• Lease payments made on or before the commencement date, reduced by the amount of discounts or other incentives offered,

  • Initial costs, which are directly linked to the rent,
  • Recovery costs.

Finally, they are adjusted to specific recalculations of the corresponding lease liability.

Lease liabilities are initially calculated at the present value of rents, which were not paid at the start of the lease. Discounted at the imputed rate of the lease or, if this interest rate cannot be determined by the contract, with the differential lending rate (IBR). The differential lending rate is the cost that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the necessary capital in order to obtain an item of similar value with the leased asset, in a similar economic environment and with similar terms and assumptions.

Lease liabilities include net present value of:

  • Fixed leases (including any in-substance fixed leases)
  • Variable leases, depending on the rate
  • Residual value expected to be paid
  • The price of an option to purchase the underlying asset, if the lessor is almost certain to exercise it
  • Penalties for termination of a lease if the lessor chooses this option.

After their initial measurement, the lease obligations are increased by their financial cost and are reduced by the payment of rents. Finally, they are reassessed when there is a change: a) to rents due to a change of index, b) to the estimation of the amount of residual value, which is expected to be paid, or c) to the assessment of a choice of purchase or extension, which is relatively Certain that it will be exercised or a right of termination of the contract, which is relatively certain that it will not be practiced.

The group and the company during the transition made use of the following practical facilities provided by IFRS 16 for leases classified as functional, in accordance with IAS 17.

  • Use of previously made assessments under applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 to determine whether a contract contains a lease, or whether a contract is a lease on the date of initial application.
  • Use of accounting treatment of operating leases for leases with a maturity of under 12 months from 1 January 2019.
  • Use of a single discount rate on a lease portfolio with similar characteristics.
  • Excluding initial direct costs for measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

B. As a lessor

When tangible assets are leased by leasing, the present value of rents is registered as a requirement. The difference between the gross amount of the claim and the present value of the claim is recorded as deferred financial income. The revenue from the lease is recognized in the usage results during the lease using the net investment method, which represents a constant periodic return. The group and the company do not contract with the status of lessor.

Effect of IFRS 16 adoption within the period

As a result of the first application of IFRS 16, in relation to leases previously classified as operational, the group recognized €50.7 m in 30/06/2019. Rights of use and €51.6 m Lease obligations while the company €36.6 m. and €37.1 m. respectively.

In addition, in relation to the above leases, the group acknowledged depreciation and financial expenses instead of leasing costs. For the six-month period ended on 30/06/2019, the group recognized €3.2 million. depreciation and €1.2 m. financial expenses while the company €2.6 m. and €0.8 m. respectively.

7.5 Pro forma figure "Operating Earnings before Financial & Investment results, Tax, Depreciation & Amortization" (Group EBITDA)

Pro forma figures (EBITDA, EBITDA margin, free cash flow, net debt) are not defined 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 share in the EBITDA of associates when these are active in one of the Group's reported Business Sectors and

b) the effects of eliminations of any profit or loss from asset construction transactions of the Group with the associates.

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).

7.8 Segment reporting

Primary reporting format – business segments

MYTILINEOS Group is active in three main operating business segments: a) Metallurgy and Mining, b) EPC & Infrastructure and c) Electric Power & Gas trading. In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 8, management generally follows the Group's service lines, which represent the main products and services provided by the Group, in identifying its operating segments.

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 service lines that do not fulfil the quantitative and qualitative thresholds of IFRS 8, in order to be considered as separate segments, are presented cumulatively 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.

Income and results per operating segment are presented as follows:

7.12 Discontinued operations

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.

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.

Notes of Independent Power Transmission Operator S.A. (ADMIE)

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)

Where:

• 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. The procedure for resolving the matter has been initiated and the date of first meeting has been set for October 3, 2019.

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.

State aid against MYTILINEOS (as universal successor of ALUMINIUM OF GREECE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOCIETE ANONYME due to merger), Decision of the European Commission

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 to be discussed on 05.09.2019. 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 amount of €6.26 Mio plus interest € 0.87 Mio by the Company (as universal successor of Protergia Thermoilektriki Agiou Nikolaou Power Generation and Supply S.A.);

  • the amount of €7.25 Mio plus interest €1.58 Mio by the Company (as universal successor of ALUMINIUM OF GREECE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOCIETE ANONYME) and
  • the amount of €4.65 Mio plus interest € 0.62 Mio by Korinthos Power S.A.

The Company and Korinthos Power S.A. contested the existence of the said amounts. More specifically:

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).

Moreover, the Company (as universal successor of ALUMINIUM OF GREECE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOCIETE ANONYME) and DEPA S.A. are under arbitration for resolving disputes with regard to charges due to revision of gas supply cost. Within the frame of the arbitration procedure, arbitrators have been nominated and the nomination of the umpire is expected. 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 in previous periods, out of which € 3 mio have been recognized during 2018 as provisions for the case of ALUMINIUM OF GREECE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOCIETE ANONYME.

Company's other Contingent Assets & Liabilities

There are other potential third party claims of € 4.4 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.

7.23 Fair Value Measurements

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 30/06/2019 and 31/12/2018 as follows:

Both Projects will be the first PV power plants using single-axis trackers in Kazakhstan and are expected to enter operation by the end of 2019. Once completed, Nomad and M-KAT are expected to generate 225 GWh per year together, enough to supply the needs of about 40,000 Kazakh people while saving about 300,000 tons of CO2 per year. The total project cost for Nomad and M-Kat for Total Eren amounts to US\$ 157 million.

In addition, in July, the Company announced that one of the largest natural gas fired powered combined cycle (Combined Cycle Gas Turbine – CCGT) power stations in Europe is set to enter the construction phase.
