II. GENERAL REVIEW

After three consecutive years of economic recovery, the Greek economy started in 2020 with very positive growth prospects. In the first two months of the year, the rating agency Fitch upgraded the country's credit rating, Greek bond yields dropped to historically low levels benefiting from the international environment of negative yields.

However, since mid-February, the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the consequent restrictive measures and the growing uncertainty about the spread of the pandemic had a severe impact on the global economy due to declining demand, as sectors such as transport, tourism, trade, food services and entertainment are particularly affected.

According to a recent report by the International Monetary Fund, the pandemic had a greater negative impact than expected and the recovery is now projected to be more gradual than previously estimated, predicting a 4.9% recession this year for the global economy and growth 5.4% in 2021. In the euro area, GDP is estimated to decrease by 10.2% in 2020 and increase by 6.0% in 2021.

Greece, by taking timely precautionary measures, such as a universal traffic ban, has reduced the number of cases and deaths to very low levels compared to other European countries. However, the increased restrictive measures led to a significant decline in economic activity, mainly in the second quarter of the year. According to the European Commission estimates, Greece's GDP will shrink by 9.0% this year and increase by 6.0% in 2021.

To limit the effects of the pandemic on the Greek economy, the Greek Government has taken a number of fiscal support measures. At the same time, out of the €750 billion stimulus plan of the European Commission Recovery Fund aiming to deal with the economic crisis, Greece is expected to raise about €32 billion, while it is expected to absorb additional €40 billion from the Cohesion Fund (NSRF) of European Union for the next seven years.

MYTILINEOS, long before the pandemic spread, had introduced strict measures to limit the spread of Covid-19, putting as a priority the safety of employees and the uninterrupted operation of the Company.

Currently, the Company remains fully operational in all of its business units, taking all necessary measures to maintain high liquidity and profitability while remaining committed to the optimal utilization of its funds and targeting its further organic growth.

III. REVIEW PER SECTOR

Metallurgy and Mining Sector

The vulnerable environment in the alumina and aluminum market, which had started to experience downward trends in prices as early as H2 2019, mainly due to the increased metal supply, took an additional hit from the spread of covid-19 in the western world, especially after the first quarter of the year. Demand for aluminum has declined due to the uncertainty of the global community regarding the end of the pandemic and the return of economies to normal (pre-covid) levels.

An interesting resistance to the fall was shown by the supply of primary aluminum and consequently the corresponding demand for metallurgical alumina. On the one hand, this is due to the parallel fall in production costs, as many factors of production have fallen in prices (energy, raw materials), and on the other hand to the avoidance of electrolysis basins stopping costs by primary metal producers, as the timing of their restart was uncertain. Secondary metal producers have reduced their production both because finding scrap has become more difficult after the global decline in production, especially in the automotive and aerospace industries, but also because the profit margins are clearly lower than those of primary metal producers. The balance between supply and demand for the metal was thus partially restored by the reduction in the production level of the secondary metal.

The downward trend recorded to the prices of Aluminum in H2 2019 continued throughout H1 2020, which resulted to the price of aluminum in LME 3m reaching the level of 1,460 \$ / t. The average price was close to \$ 1,620 / t, experiencing a drop of 12.5% compared to H1 2019.

Extremely declining prices were also observed in the premiums of Aluminum products due to the decline of demand for the metal due to the decline in production, mainly in the metal processing chain for uses other than pharmaceuticals and food. Compared to the corresponding period of 2019, the premiums of the columns experienced a decrease of about 40% and those of the slabs a decrease of about 15%.

The alumina API index experienced a significant drop too, reaching the level of \$ 230 / t, with a six-month average price of about \$ 265 / t, reduced by about 30% compared to the corresponding period of 2019.

The US dollar strengthened slightly by about 2.5% against the Euro, with the exchange rate reaching 1.10 for H1 2020 from 1.13 in the corresponding period of 2019.

The reduced prices of raw materials and energy in H1 2020 compared to those of H1 2019, partially offset the effect that reduced sales prices had on the results, improving the production costs by about 25% in alumina and about 20% in primary aluminum between of the two comparable periods.

The new competitiveness program for Metallurgy called "HEPHAESTUS" is in progress with small delays in the investment program, due to the pandemic that created problems in the transport of equipment and staff. The program is expected to last until the end of 2021 without any significant delay in the completion of its goals.

The excellent performance in the field of employee safety in the factory of the AOG continued, as no accident with work interruption was recorded in the first half of 2020, following the exceptional period of 2019.

Sustainable Engineering Solutions Sector

Financial Information

The Financial Results of the Sector for the First Semester of 2020 have been affected by the delays in Projects caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic. SES Project Sector turnover for the first semester of 2020 came up to € 62.4 million compared to the € 163.3 million of the first semester of 2019.

The main factors for the above course of the SES Sector are:

a) The continuation of the project «Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (SES) of a 250 MW Power Plant» in Ghana, with a contractual value of \$ 369 million, which recorded a turnover of € 19,5 million.

b) The continuation of the projects in Volos Factory with the main project of tanks Leopard with a contractual value of € 44,6 million which in the current period recorded a turnover of € 9 million.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the SES Sector in the first semester 2020 reached € -2,1 million.

Significant events in first Semester 2020

MYTILINEOS decisively contributes to the energy upgrading of public areas in the municipalities and undertakes the street lighting project in Volos Municipality in the context of a joint venture with its subsidiary ELEMKA with contractual value € 14,3 million. Given that 50% of a city's electricity consumption derives from the street lighting network, energy saving in the municipalities has turned into an imperative need, both regarding the rational use of resources, as well as the pushing forward of energy efficiency. During the

project, the conventional street lights shall be replaced. The existing street lights, despite their short life cycle and erratic luminosity, are nevertheless highly energy consuming. The new framework to be used will adopt the most state-of-the-art solutions in the lighting technologies and will offer, besides a more regulated and high quality light, an improved visible luminous efficacy, and a better ambiance in the urban environment. It will additionally save up to 55% of the electricity supply, reducing thus the cost and the Municipality's energy footprint.

ZEOLOGIC S.A., subsidiary of MYTILINEOS, announced the signing of contract agreement with the company INWASTE SA, relating to the construction of the first solid hazardous waste treatment plant of various origins, such as petroleum sludge, heavy metal industry waste, etc. This installation is designed and will be fully implemented by ZEOLOGIC S.A., in accordance with all the modern requirements of environmental projects as they are applied worldwide.

The new plant will be constructed on the privately-owned premises of INWASTE S.A. in North Greece and will be the first hazardous waste treatment and inactivation plant in which the GACS Geochemical Treatment Method will be applied and, therefore, the waste will become Non-Hazardous and will be managed safely.

This method is an international innovative waste management technology, whose rights are held exclusively by ZEOLOGIC S.A, which is constantly applied in new sectors, providing the ability of treating a widespread range of urban and industrial waste types, giving direct solutions to a vast amount of environmental matters and especially in the treatment of hazardous waste with a high pollutant load.

Finally, it should be noted that the backlog for the Group's existing projects amounts to € 746 million. The table below shows the expected income for the main projects per country which contribute significantly to the total backlog. Regarding the Libya project, the Company stays vigilant and the works shall begin as soon as the conditions for the project's seamless completion arise.

Significant events in the period

RSD sector has turned to an autonomous Business Unit in February 2020, after the acquisition of the remaining stake (49.9%) of METKA EGN Ltd. This transaction was an important step for the company's consolidation in the global solar and energy storage market.

In the first semester of 2020, project's execution continued normally in countries such as Greece, United Kingdom, Tunisia, Chile, Kazakhstan, and Australia, with the only exception being Talasol project in Spain, which was slightly affected by COVID-19 pandemic. In third quarter of 2020, the project run an acceleration plan and now it's time schedule is according to the initial plan.

Projects refer to both Third Party EPC and BOT projects (Build Operate & Transfer) through its own platform for the construction, operation, financing and resale of photovoltaic power plants and storage units.

More specifically:

  • (a) In January 2020, the construction of three PV sites with a total capacity of 117 MWp has commenced in Australia. Said project is part of the total BOT investment portfolio, owned in 2019 through METKA EGN subsidiary in Oceania, with a total capacity of 250MWp. METKA EGN has signed a 10-year contract for energy sale (PPA – Power Purchase Agreement) with Coles, the second largest Australian supermarket chain, in August 2019, for the specific projects. With the completion of the three PV sites in South Wales area, 220 GW/h will be produced yearly, to support the Australian electric energy system. With the use of the solar power produced, the carbon dioxide (CO2) emission will be reduced 180.000 tn per year.
  • (a) In February 2020 RSD Sector concluded its first BOT project sale, a portfolio of operational Photovoltaic Power Plants in Northern & Central Greece with a total capacity of 47MWp for a total consideration of €45.8m. It was the first conclusion of BOT project disposal out of the 600 MWp portfolio that will be developed, constructed and disposed within the next 18-24 months.
  • (b) In February 2020 METKA EGN LTD signed a turnkey third-party EPC agreement with Public Power Corporation Renewables S.A. for the construction of a 15MWp Photovoltaic Power Plant in Paliampela region, Eordaia Municipality in Kozani, with a total contractual value of € 9.7 million. The project is part of the 230 MWp mega project in Kozani that is under developement by PPCR.
  • (c) In June 2020, METKA EGN LTD participated in a auction for the construction of a 200MWp Photovoltaic Power Plant in Kozani. More specifically, project's scope of works is about : Technical Study, revision or issuance or modification of all the required permits/authorizations for the PV connection, based on the current legislation, Civil Engineering Projects, Supply - Transfer - Installation - Commissioning and operation and maintenance until the approval of the Final Acceptance protocol of one (1) Photovoltaic Station with a nominal power capacity of 200 MWp at the location Kozani and Eordaia, and all the necessary interconnection projects, which includes the interconnection lines of medium voltage (33kV) and the extension of two (2) Substations 33kV / 150kV (Substation Haravgi and Substation Agios Christoforos) with implementation of three new gates M / S 33kV / 150kV.

The parties who expressed interest and participated in the auction were five, including mixed groups of Greek and foreign companies. The project will contribute to the de-lignification of the area, a goal set by the Greek Government until 2028.

(d) Within the first half of 2020, the RSD Sector through its subsidiary METKA EGN continued the successful cooperation with the international company Total Eren, completing the projects that had started in 2019, while concluding with the signing of an agreement (Head of Terms) for the construction of a PV plant with a total capacity of 130MW in Uzbekistan (Tutly). The total consideration amounts to ~\$95 million and the construction contract is expected to be signed within the fourth quarter of 2020 with the simultaneous commencement of works. METKA EGN currently is under negotiations for the construction of a couple of PV projects with Total Eren in various countries such as Kazakhstan, Chile, Burkina Faso, and Zimbabwe.

It should be noted that the backlog for the sector's existing projects in the Third Party EPC subsector by 30/6/2020 amounts to € ~ 110 million, while the company is in final negotiations for the construction of Third Party EPC projects of an approximately value of € 243 million.

Finally, the total capacity of the BOT projects under development, which are expected to be constructed and disposed within the next period (18 - 24 months) amounts to 600 MW in countries such as Greece, Cyprus, Spain, Italy, England, Portugal, Mexico , Chile, Australia, and South Korea.

Electric Power & Gas Trading Sector

First half of 2020 was marked by a decrease of 5.8% in electricity demand compared to H1 2019, due to Covid 19.

The coverage (by source) of total electricity demand (in TWhs) for first half for the years 2020 and 2019 is depicted in the following chart:

Despite the adverse situation due to the reduction of demand and the fall of the System Marginal Price (the average wholesale market price (SMP) was 41.37 €/MWh reduced by 38% compared to H1 2019), the ability of the Company to supply NG at highly competitive prices through the purchase of NG and LNG loads, in combination with the high efficiency, availability and reliability of the Company's units (two combined cycle stations and a high efficiency electricity-heat cogeneration station) resulted in increased production to 2.55 TWh. This quantity represents 10.4% of the total demand in the interconnected system and 31.2% of the production from natural gas units.

The total production of thermal and renewable units of the Company amounted to 2.8 TWh, representing 11.5% of total demand.

MYTILINEOS, taking advantage of the size of its NG supply portfolio, due to high own needs, as well as its long experience in the direct supply of both LNG and NG, from a wide network of large international suppliers, continues to create opportunities for supply NG in competitive terms, while benefiting from the current low market trends. As a result, the cost of gas supply for MYTILINEOS was significantly lower than the average market price in Greece.

Due to the above, MYTILINEOS has entered the wholesale market (sales to third parties) both in the Greek market and in the neighboring Balkan markets through exports. The company's broad involvement in the wholesale market has also resulted in the company expanding its portfolio and gaining competitive advantage and access to even more competitive sources of supply. The company's share of total NG imports in Greece in the first half of 2020 was 41%, while the corresponding share of total exports is 74%, with 58% of its portfolio reserved for third party sales.

Regarding the supply activity, Protergia is steadily strengthening its presence in the first half of 2020 by representing 245,000 electricity meters and 200,000 NG meters at the end of 2019, while the share in the electricity market at the end of H1 2020 amounted to 7.73% instead of 5.51% at the end of 2019.

It continues normally and according to the original schedule the construction of the new 826 MW CCGT with General Electric's H-Class turbine. The trial start date of the power plant is set at the end of the fourth quarter of 2021, contributing to the country's transition to an energy mix with a significantly smaller carbon footprint. The project is executed by the company's Sustainable Engineering Solutions segment with notable synergies, ensuring reduced investment cost.

During the 1st half of 2020 the Company's production capacity from RES amounted to 211 MW, having in full operation three new Wind Parks of total capacity of 34.5 MW which have been completed during 2019. At the same time one additional Wind Park of total capacity of 11 MW is under construction which has been put in operation in the third quarter of 2020. During the aforementioned period commenced the construction of a Wind Park of total capacity of 43.2 MW.

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).

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

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 2020 sums to 6.92%.

*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.

II. Significant corporate events during the first half of the year

During the reporting period the company proceeded to the below decisions and actions:

In January, the subsidiary of MYTILINEOS, ZEOLOGIC S.A. announces the signing of an agreement with FAIRDEAL MARINE SERVICES FZE, for the construction of the first treatment plant of oily sludge as well as of sludge arising from flue gas treatment systems. This plant will be installed at the FAIRDEAL Group premises in Fujairah of the United Arab Emirates and it is the first environmental project of ZEOLOGIC S.A. in the Middle East. Τhe facility's design will be based on the internationally patented treatment method (Geochemical Active Clay Sedimentation - GACS) for liquid and solid waste treatment, with exclusive rights of use held by ZEOLOGIC. Based on the GACS method, the waste becomes 'Non Hazardous' after its treatment and thus the treated waste can be safely disposed. ZEOLOGIC and FAIRDEAL Group

envisage the installation of more plants using this technology in the Persian Gulf region, addressing the recognized environmental problems of the region and the need to install state of the art infrastructure to support Green Shipping.

In February, MYTILINEOS decisively contributes to the energy upgrading of public areas in the municipalities and undertakes the street lighting project in Volos Municipality in the context of a joint venture with its subsidiary ELEMKA. During the project, the conventional street lights shall be replaced; the existing street lights, despite their short life cycle and erratic luminosity, are nevertheless highly energy consuming. The new framework to be used will adopt the most state-of-the-art solutions in the lighting technologies and will offer, besides a more regulated and high quality light, an improved visible luminous efficacy and a better ambiance in the urban environment; it will additionally save up to 55% of the electricity supply, reducing thus the cost and the Municipality's energy footprint.

The joint venture MYTILINEOS-ELEMKA was chosen by an electronic international tender declared by Volos Municipality, budgeted at 14,297,339.64€ plus VAT. The scope of the contract covers the supply, installation and 12 year maintenance (not including the 12 months for installation) and in particular:

  1. The installation of the new luminaires using new LED technology to improve and upgrade the municipality's level of lighting, in the Municipal Communities of Volos and Nea Ionia.

  2. The improvement of maintenance planning, by operating a 'Telecontrol-Telemanagement and Energy control system' (SLMS), in the System for Public Areas Lighting (Street Lighting).

  3. The use of preventive maintenance systems through a PC (failure recording methodology, priority list, remedy planning and check, reporting and statistics monitoring).

In February, MYTILINEOS also announces Corporate reorganizational changes. The Board of Directors of MYTILINEOS approved on 4.2.2020 the proposals of the Chairman and CEO of the company Evangelos Mytilineos as follows:

ΙΙΙ PROSPECTS – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2020

1. Prospects for the second half of 2020

Metallurgy and Mining Sector

The emergence and spread of the Coronavirus affected the real economy and the distribution of products and expanded the concerns of the markets resulting in the decline of all values. Meanwhile, both the Fed and the ECB have announced quantitative easing programs in the fight against the pandemic.

Prices on the LME and API increased but not the premia of the Foundry products which remain low. On the raw material prices side, upward pressures are not yet visible, while those of natural gas are correcting upwards.

The HEPHAESTUS program continues with small delays in the investment program and planned investments are expected to be completed within the year, to increase production in EPALME and in the production of alumina in AOG. There are still investments to be made until completion of the program, which have been planned from the start of the program for next year.

Sustainable Engineering Solutions Sector

MYTILINEOS is once again pioneering and strategically investing in the national and global goal of energy transition, putting all its forces at the service of Sustainable Development. Thus, it proceeds towards another key move and transforms the SES BU - METKA into a new, modern and innovative Business Unit; the Sustainable Engineering Solutions BU (SES BU), as an autonomous General Directorate.

By implementing our strategy, we are strengthening the BU with a fresh direction and we are "launching" into the future. Hence, in addition to the construction of thermal power plants and selected construction projects traditionally executed by the BU, our activity is reinforced by the dynamic development of Sustainability projects: For instance: • solid and liquid waste management, • hybrid and off-grid energy projects, • energy upgrade projects, • execution of innovative first-of-kind energy projects (eg, hydrogen projects).

Aware of the international trends, MYTILINEOS is adapting its unique know-how to Sustainable Development Solutions and plans: a) To continue to deploy its competitive advantage in the construction of thermal units and to further develop in the field of Transmission & Distribution (T&D) and b) To grow targeted to the field of infrastructure through PPP projects and activities that require advanced know-how, holistic approach and results-driven strategy in view of the major projects that have been announced in our country within the relaunch of the economy in the post Covid - 19 era.

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. The SES Sector's strategy aims to an increased backlog of projects taken within 2020, a timely execution of the existing contracts and the undertaking of new projects and investments in targeted markets. The prospects and planning for the SES Sector's separate activities are as follows:

• MYTILINEOS continues the construction of a new natural gas-powered plant of 826MW at its energy center in Agios Nikolaos of Viotia. Abroad, MYTILINEOS continues the construction of the projects in Ghana, Nigeria, and Slovenia. Having now a leading position in the undertaking and construction of natural gas-powered power plants, the Company claims new projects in Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa.

• Possessing the relevant experience, MYTILINEOS claims an important share for power transport networks in Greece, Europe and Africa.

• MYTILINEOS possesses the highest contractor certificate in Greece and part of its business plan is to selectively participate in undertaking infrastructure, building, environmental and other private projects mainly within Greece, through construction contracts, public private partnership, or even concession agreements.

• MYTILINEOS' factories in Volos, Magnesia shall continue and expand within 2020 the industrialization of special constructions with high added value and technological level, for clients in the markets of Germany and United States.

• In the Waste Management sector, there are high expansion possibilities for MYTILINEOS, based on its increased know-how in circular economy solutions. Specifically, it expands to solid waste management through the development of biogas production and waste management units, taking into selective consideration cases of project financing. In the sludge and liquid waste sector, the Company implements its plan for a systematic entering initially in Europe, Middle East and Africa, using the added value and special know-how of its subsidiary ZEOLOGIC S.A which acts as a pioneering technological provider in this market.

• The Sector shall continue to claim hybrid/off-grid projects, capitalizing the experience and knowledge from completed similar ones. At the same time, it shall continue to implement its strategy for expansion and growth of its presence in significant energy upgrade and energy saving projects, both in the Greek and selected foreign markets. Finally, it will intensify its presence in projects concerning new technologies combined with the supply of energy solutions, aiming to develop new, differentiated activities with added value for the sector.

Risks and Uncertainties

Delays in auctioning and/or on contractualization of new SES projects in Greece and abroad in combination with the evolution of the covid-19 pandemic could have a negative impact on the replenishment of the Company's construction backlog, and its future income.

International Renewables & Storage Development Sector

For the RSD Sector, the second semester of 2020 is expected to be a period of transition, development, and new opportunities, as the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the signing of new contracts and the commencement of works in the first semester.

More specifically, within the second semester in the RSD sector is expected the signing of the contracts that were delayed due to Covid-19, as well as the construction commencement of the projects that were delayed for the same reason. At the same direction, in the BOT Sector, is expected to complete purchase agreements of PV project rights, as well the commencement of construction of matured projects in countries such as Spain, England, Italy, Australia, Chile.

It should be noted that the global acceleration of investments related to climate change as well as the international trend for de-carbonation, favours the RSD sector, which aims to stabilize its financial size within 2021 and set the foundations for further growth at the next years.

More specifically:

(a) Contracting and commencement of works of the PV Project Tutly – Total Eren in Uzbekistan for a contract value of \$95 million.

(b) Contracting and commencement of works of the PV project Grange of Lightsource BP Limited. It is about the construction of a Photovoltaic Power Plant with a total capacity of 50MWp in the United Kingdom for a contract value of GBP 13 million.

(c) Contracting and commencement of works of the Byers Brae Energy Storage project of Gresham Hazel Llp (Energy Storage Accumulators with a total capacity of 30MWp) for a contract value of GBP 12.34 million in the United Kingdom.

(d) Contracting and commencement of works of the PV project of National Energy for the Construction of a Photovoltaic Power Plant with a total capacity of 24MWp for a contract value of €12.95 million in Greece.

(e) Commence of works of the Pampa Tigre PV project of 118MWp in Chile for Mainstream Renewable Power Ltd. It is about the construction of a 118MWp Photovoltaic Power Plant in Chile in the Antofagasta region. The Construction contract was signed in November 2019, while the project was delayed commencing due to the pandemic Covid-19. The Contract value of the project is USD 80.2 million.

(f) Contracting and commencement of works of the PV project of PPCR for the Construction of a Photovoltaic Power Plant with a total capacity of 15MWp with its own HV Substation, for a contract value of ~ € 9.7 million in Greece.

Risks and Uncertainties

Delays in commencement of works, auctioning and/or on contracting of new projects in countries that RSD sector operates, could have a negative impact on the replenishment of Sector's construction backlog.

Electric Power & Gas Trading Sector

MYTILINEOS possessing installed power of ~1,4 GW from operational thermal power stations and RES projects, has gained the position of the largest private vertically integrated electricity and NG company. Thereby, the company has reached the critical size needed in order to benefit as much as possible from the expected full deregulation of the local market of electric power and NG.

In second half of 2020, the financial results of the Electric Power & Gas Trading Sector are expected to improve due to:

  • oversupply of LNG, in the supply of which MYTILINEOS has a significant advantage over its competitors due to its experience and an extensive supplier network.
  • access to competitive and flexible sources of Natural Gas through direct 10-year contract with Gazpromexport.
  • expanding gas trading activity in the wholesale market both in Greece and in neighboring countries (exports)

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.

COVID – 19 Risks

On 31 December 2019, the World Health Organization ("WHO") was informed that a limited number of cases of pneumonia, of an unknown cause, were detected in Wuhan, Hubei. On 7 January 2020, Chinese authorities identified a new type of coronavirus (COVID-19) as the cause. The first cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in Hong Kong on 23 January 2020. Since 31 December 2019, the evolution and spread of COVID-19 has resulted in the occurrence of a multitude of associated events. In March 2020, WHO declared the COVID-19 a pandemic. This same month, countries gradually impose lockdowns on millions of people, issue entry bans and traveler isolation orders trying to prevent the spread of the virus. Likewise, Greece imposed promptly a lockdown in March and stringent restrictions on the country entrance and on public movement managing to curtail the spread of the disease with the mortality numbers remaining very low compared to other European countries.

By the end of March and mid-June, after several days of lockdown, countries had gradually started to lift the restrictions.

Mytilineos, as a responsible social partner and enterprise has expressed since the very beginning of the pandemic deep concern over the situation, the rapid spread of the virus and its effect on its operations but also on the economy and the broader society. The safety of company employees remains is the ultimate priority.

To that end, Mytilineos implements the following initiatives through a special task force, (the "Task Force") that reports to senior management, monitoring all developments and assessing potential impacts of Covid-19.

The Task Force, adhering to all protocols from the WHO and other relevant authorities, has already put in place a business continuity plan which is currently in full implementation. Ιt has established and maintains clear internal and external protocols for regular and emergency communication with employees and other key stakeholders.

Business travel has been limited and remote-work schemes are in place, wherever possible. Additional resource planning for staff who perform business-critical functions has also been put forth to minimize the risks of any operational disruption.

Τhe Company has taken the following additional actions:

• Back-up arrangements in case employees responsible for health and safety are unable to perform their roles.

  • Special arrangements for vulnerable employees.
  • Ensured that staff from high-risk areas are re-patriated.
  • Introduced policies regarding staff self-isolation.
  • Established procedures requiring staff to report if they feel unwell or are absent, and to report possible infection or exposure to the virus or concerns involving others they have been in contact with at work.

The below listed potential risk factors that could affect our business after almost 6 months into the pandemic are as follows:

  • Our business operations could have been negatively impacted by the quarantine of our employees, customers and suppliers in Greece and other areas affected by the outbreak. For the time being, no such incident has occurred within our areas of operation.
  • • As far as our customers are concerned, we have been carefully reviewing the situation in Italy from the very beginning, as this region represents a significant % of our aluminium exports. Our relationships with these customers are of many years and at this current time, we continue to supply them with aluminum. No disruption or halt to the delivery has been detected throughout the development of the situation up to today.
  • During the process of product transport and other parts of our supply chain that could have affected our ability to deliver products or receive raw materials, we did not face any problems.
  • Demand for aluminum products, electrical power and natural gas has returned to normal levels after a brief drop.
  • Delays in the contracting and / or execution of projects of the SES and RSD Business Units that arose due to the lockdown are treated with appropriate plans to accelerate the relevant procedures.
  • As a conclusion, the Covid-19 pandemic had an effect on the reduction of the Aluminum prices in LME and the premia of the Aluminum products as well as on the reduction of the Alumina Price Index (API); it is not possible to determine the extent of the effect on the reduction of these prices during the A semester, though. The pandemic also affected the evolution of both the contracting and the execution of the SES and RSD BU projects, although it is not safe to estimate the extent of this impact on the results of the A semester.

In addition to the ongoing management of operational risks due to the COVID-19 epidemic, we have implemented an increased level of supervision to protect the financial position of our Company.

  • We thoroughly re-evaluated the Investment plan of 2020, putting investments of € 100m "on hold". These investments will be re-evaluated in the light of the current developments.
  • We designed and implemented a new cost reduction program regarding mainly Administrative Expenses (Project Shield) with a total savings amount of € 35m. Out of this amount, € 10m have already positively contributed the results of the A semester, whereas the benefit for the entire 2020, is expected to be at the order of € 28.4m. The total benefit of € 35m is expected within 2021.
  • The Company possesses a good financial position, an extremely low leverage ratio and total available liquidity exceeding € 1 billion, without significant maturity until the end of 2024.

All the above are not only important risk mitigation factors of the uncertainty related to the evolution of the situation but also important in order to maintain the competitive position of the Company and the Group in each of its Business Units.

With the aforementioned planning and developments, we have limited potential economic effects on our results up to now. Any further implications will depend, to a large extent, on the ongoing developments.

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.

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 interim condensed separate and consolidated statement of financial position of the Company "MYTILINEOS S.A." as of 30 June 2020 and the related condensed separate and consolidated income statements and statements of other 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 condensed financial information, which forms an integral part of the six-month financial report according to Law 3556/2007.

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim condensed financial information, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union and which apply to 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 to 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 Standards on Auditing as incorporated into the Greek Legislation 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 condensed 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 under article 5 and 5a of Law 3556/2007, in relation to the accompanying interim 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 30.06.2020 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.

7.2.1 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 01/01/2020.

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 amendments do not affect the consolidated and separate Financial Statements.

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 amendments do not affect the consolidated and separate Financial Statements.

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 amendments do not affect the consolidated and separate Financial Statements.

Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7: "Interest Rate Benchmark Reform" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2020)

In September 2019, the IASB issued amendments to some specific hedge accounting requirements to provide relief from potential effects of the uncertainty caused by the Interest Rate Benchmark reform. The amendments are designed to support the provision of useful financial information by companies during the period of uncertainty arising from the phasing out of interest – rate benchmarks such as interbank offered rates (IBORs). It requires companies to provide additional information to investors about their hedging relationships which are directly affected by these uncertainties. The amendments do not affect the consolidated and separate Financial Statements.

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 amendments do not affect the consolidated and separate Financial Statements.

7.2.2 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.

Amendments to IFRS 16 "Leases" Covid-19 – Related Rent Concessions (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/06/2020)

In May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 16 that provide lessees with an exemption from assessing whether a Covid-19-related rent concession is a lease modification. More specifically, the amendments clarify that if certain conditions are met, lessees are not required to assess whether particular Covid-19-related rent concessions are lease modifications. Instead, lessees that apply the practical expedient, would account for those rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications. It applies to Covid-19-related rent concessions that reduce lease payments due on or before June 30, 2021.

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.

Amendments to IFRS 4 "Insurance Contracts" – deferral of IFRS 9 (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2021)

In June 2020, the IASB issued amendments that declare deferral of the date of initial application of IFRS 17 by two years, to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. As a consequence, the IASB also extended the fixed expiry date for the temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" in IFRS 4 "Insurance Contracts", so that the entities are required to apply IFRS 9 for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023.

The Group does not expect to have any impact of the above on its Financial Statements. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to IAS 1 "Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2022)

In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 that affect requirements for the presentation of liabilities. Specifically, they clarify one of the criteria for classifying a liability as non-current, the requirement for an entity to have the right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. The amendments include: (a) specifying that an entity's right to defer settlement must exist at the end of the reporting period; (b) clarifying that classification is unaffected by management's intentions or expectations about whether the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement; (c) clarifying how lending conditions affect classification; and (d) clarifying requirements for classifying liabilities an entity will or may settle by issuing its own equity instruments.

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.

Amendments to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations", IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment", IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" and "Annual Improvements 2018-2020" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2022)

In May 2020, the IASB issued a package of amendments which includes narrow-scope amendments to three Standards as well as the Board's Annual Improvements, which are changes that clarify the wording or correct minor consequences, oversights or conflicts between requirements in the Standards. More specifically:

  • Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations update a reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting without changing the accounting requirements for business combinations.
  • Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognize such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss.
  • Amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets specify which costs a company includes when assessing whether a contract will be loss-making.
  • Annual Improvements 2018-2020 make minor amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 41 Agriculture and the Illustrative Examples accompanying IFRS 16 Leases.

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.

IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2023)

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. Furthermore, in June 2020, the IASB issued amendments, which do not affect the fundamental principles introduced when IFRS 17 has first been issued. The amendments are designed to reduce costs by simplifying some requirements in the Standard, make financial performance easier to explain, as well as ease transition by deferring the effective date of the Standard to 2023 and by providing additional relief to reduce the effort required when applying the Standard for the first time.

The Group does not expect to have any impact of the above on its Financial Statements. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

7.3 Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

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.

Change in accounting policy

On 01/01/2020, the Group decided to change the useful life of renewable energy sources (RES). Specifically, the remaining useful life of renewable energy parks was adjusted to 25 years from 20 years in which it was initially estimated. The reasons for that estimation are:

  • There is an experience of 15 -20 years from the operation of renewable parks. These renewable parks have a good performance during these years and the maintenance cost haven't increased.
  • For the last 10 years, large scale equipment has been used both in dimension and power of wind generators (wings diameter > 70 meters and power ≥ 2MW). Therefore, the renewable energy parks have a higher performance.
  • The cost of repowering the RES is as high as a new RES, because the infrastructure and equipment needs to be renovated with the exception of the substation, so there is no reason to renew the equipment especially when it works without problems.

The Management assessed the change in accounting estimate as realistic. The Group changed this accounting estimate of useful life, using the provisions of IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors" by estimating that the rate of future benefits of fixed assets has changed and adjusting accordingly the depreciation rate to reflect the new rate. The positive effect of the change in accounting estimate for the six months period 01/01 – 30/06/2020 amounted to 1,960 thousands and affected the tangible, intangible assets and results of the Group for the same period.

7.4 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).

7.6 Significant information

During the reporting period the company proceeded to the below decisions and actions:

In January, the subsidiary of MYTILINEOS, ZEOLOGIC S.A. announces the signing of an agreement with FAIRDEAL MARINE SERVICES FZE, for the construction of the first treatment plant of oily sludge as well as of sludge arising from flue gas treatment systems. This plant will be installed at the FAIRDEAL Group premises in Fujairah of the United Arab Emirates and it is the first environmental project of ZEOLOGIC S.A. in the Middle East. Τhe facility's design will be based on the internationally patented treatment method (Geochemical Active Clay Sedimentation - GACS) for liquid and solid waste treatment, with exclusive rights of use held by ZEOLOGIC. Based on the GACS method, the waste becomes 'Non Hazardous' after its treatment and thus the treated waste can be safely disposed. ZEOLOGIC and FAIRDEAL Group envisage the installation of more plants using this technology in the Persian Gulf region, addressing the recognized environmental problems of the region and the need to install state of the art infrastructure to support Green Shipping.

In February, MYTILINEOS decisively contributes to the energy upgrading of public areas in the municipalities and undertakes the street lighting project in Volos Municipality in the context of a joint venture with its subsidiary ELEMKA. During the project, the conventional street lights shall be replaced; the existing street lights, despite their short life cycle and erratic luminosity, are nevertheless highly energy consuming. The new framework to be used will adopt the most state-of-the-art solutions in the lighting technologies and will offer, besides a more regulated and high quality light, an improved visible luminous efficacy and a better ambiance in the urban environment; it will additionally save up to 55% of the electricity supply, reducing thus the cost and the Municipality's energy footprint.

The joint venture MYTILINEOS-ELEMKA was chosen by an electronic international tender declared by Volos Municipality, budgeted at 14,297,339.64€ plus VAT. The scope of the contract covers the supply, installation and 12 year maintenance (not including the 12 months for installation) and in particular:

  1. The installation of the new luminaires using new LED technology to improve and upgrade the municipality's level of lighting, in the Municipal Communities of Volos and Nea Ionia.

  2. The improvement of maintenance planning, by operating a 'Telecontrol-Telemanagement and Energy control system' (SLMS), in the System for Public Areas Lighting (Street Lighting).

  3. The use of preventive maintenance systems through a PC (failure recording methodology, priority list, remedy planning and check, reporting and statistics monitoring).

In February, MYTILINEOS also announces Corporate reorganizational changes. The Board of Directors of MYTILINEOS approved on 4.2.2020 the proposals of the Chairman and CEO of the company Evangelos Mytilineos as follows:

This new BU is expected to become a strong pillar of growth while providing inherent synergies for the Company.

    1. In line with international best practices and the ongoing developments in the Greek Energy sector, the Gas Trading BU is being integrated with the Electric Power BU, in line with the reporting treatment as a sole BU in the Company's annual accounts. Dinos Benroubi will be the General Manager of the Consolidated Power and Gas BU, while Panagiotis Kanellopoulos, former Gas Trading BU General Manager, assumes the position of Deputy General Manager responsible for Natural Gas issues.
    1. With sustainability increasingly evolving from a peripheral activity into a key element of the Company's operational strategy, the existing Investor Relations and Corporate Governance central function is redesignated as Corporate Governance and Sustainable Development, under the leadership of Dimitris Papadopoulos as General Manager. This newly redesigned central function will aim to become a "center of excellence" for MYTILINEOS in ensuring sustainable development initiatives are implemented across all business lines and that corporate strategy is aligned with the company's sustainability goals.

In addition to the above, the following changes have also been approved:

    1. Evangelos Chrysafis, Executive Vice President of the Company's Board of Directors, assumes from his position enhanced duties for regulatory and corporate strategic issues related to the Energy sector.

7.18 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 30/06/2020 and 31/12/2019 as follows:

7.19 Risks and 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.

COVID – 19 Risks

On 31 December 2019, the World Health Organization ("WHO") was informed that a limited number of cases of pneumonia, of an unknown cause, were detected in Wuhan, Hubei. On 7 January 2020, Chinese authorities identified a new type of coronavirus (COVID-19) as the cause. The first cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in Hong Kong on 23 January 2020. Since 31 December 2019, the evolution and spread of COVID-19 has resulted in the occurrence of a multitude of associated events. In March 2020, WHO declared the COVID-19 a pandemic. This same month, countries gradually impose lockdowns on millions of people, issue entry bans and traveler isolation orders trying to prevent the spread of the virus. Likewise, Greece imposed promptly a lockdown in March and stringent restrictions on the country entrance and on public movement managing to curtail the spread of the disease with the mortality numbers remaining very low compared to other European countries.

By the end of March and mid-June, after several days of lockdown, countries had gradually started to lift the restrictions.

Mytilineos, as a responsible social partner and enterprise has expressed since the very beginning of the pandemic deep concern over the situation, the rapid spread of the virus and its effect on its operations but also on the economy and the broader society. The safety of company employees remains is the ultimate priority.

To that end, Mytilineos implements the following initiatives through a special task force, (the "Task Force") that reports to senior management, monitoring all developments and assessing potential impacts of Covid-19.

The Task Force, adhering to all protocols from the WHO and other relevant authorities, has already put in place a business continuity plan which is currently in full implementation. Ιt has established and maintains clear internal and external protocols for regular and emergency communication with employees and other key stakeholders.

Business travel has been limited and remote-work schemes are in place, wherever possible. Additional resource planning for staff who perform business-critical functions has also been put forth to minimize the risks of any operational disruption.

Τhe Company has taken the following additional actions:

  • Back-up arrangements in case employees responsible for health and safety are unable to perform their roles.
  • Special arrangements for vulnerable employees.
  • Ensured that staff from high-risk areas are re-patriated.
  • Introduced policies regarding staff self-isolation.
  • Established procedures requiring staff to report if they feel unwell or are absent, and to report possible infection or exposure to the virus or concerns involving others they have been in contact with at work.

The below listed potential risk factors that could affect MYTILINEOS business after almost 6 months into the pandemic are as follows:

  • MYTILINEOS operations could have been negatively impacted by the quarantine of the employees, customers and suppliers in Greece and other areas affected by the outbreak. For the time being, no such incident has occurred within Company's areas of operation.
  • As far as Company's customers are concerned, MYTILINEOS has been carefully reviewing the situation in Italy from the very beginning, as this region represents a significant % of its aluminium exports. The relationship with these customers are of many years and at this current time, MYTILINEOS continues to supply them with aluminum. No disruption or halt to the delivery has been detected throughout the development of the situation up to today.
  • During the process of product transport and other parts of supply chain that could have affected MYTILINEOS ability to deliver products or receive raw materials, the Company did not face any problems.
  • Delays in the contracting and / or execution of projects of the SES and RSD Business Units that arose due to the lockdown are treated with appropriate plans to accelerate the relevant procedures.
  • As a conclusion, the Covid-19 pandemic had an effect on the reduction of the Aluminum prices in LME and the premia of the Aluminum products as well as on the reduction of the Alumina Price Index (API); it is not possible to determine the extent of the effect on the reduction of these prices during the A semester, though. The pandemic also affected the evolution of both the contracting and the execution of the SES and RSD BU projects, although it is not safe to estimate the extent of this impact on the results of the A semester.

In addition to the ongoing management of operational risks due to the COVID-19 epidemic, MYTILINEOS has implemented an increased level of supervision to protect the financial position of the Company.

• The Company thoroughly re-evaluated the Investment plan of 2020, putting investments of € 100m "on hold". These investments will be re-evaluated in the light of the current developments.

  • The Company designed and implemented a new cost reduction program regarding mainly Administrative Expenses (Project Shield) with a total savings amount of € 35m. Out of this amount, € 10m have already positively contributed the results of the A semester, whereas the benefit for the entire 2020, is expected to be at the order of € 28.4m. The total benefit of € 35m is expected within 2021.
  • The Company possesses a good financial position, an extremely low leverage ratio and total available liquidity exceeding € 1 billion, without significant maturity until the end of 2024.

All the above are not only important risk mitigation factors of the uncertainty related to the evolution of the situation but also important in order to maintain the competitive position of the Company and the Group in each of its Business Units.

With the aforementioned planning and developments, we have limited potential economic effects on our results up to now. Any further implications will depend, to a large extent, on the ongoing developments.

7.27 Capital Expenditure

The Group realized capital expenditures for the six month period ended June 30, 2020 of € 59,476 thousands (€ 63,088 thousands for the six month period ended June 30, 2019).

7.28 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.

7.32 Other Contingent Assets & Liabilities

DEPA's claim against the Company (as universal successor of ALUMINIUM OF GREECE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOCIETE ANONYME).

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 €10,2 Mio (plus VAT), plus interest, by the Company (as universal successor of ALUMINIUM OF GREECE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOCIETE ANONYME).

With the private agreement between MYTILINEOS SA and DEPA on 06.08.2020, the pending arbitration dispute with regard to retrospective amounts owed due to arbitrations between DEPA - BOTAS was settled amicably. Concerning the claims maintained by both parties, an agreement was concluded as a result of which a credit balance in favor of MYTILINEOS amounting to € 5,767,785.34 arose, in addition to the amount of tax withholdings amounting to € 583,841.38, i.e. a total credit of € 6,351,626.72 in favour of MYTILINEOS. The amount has already been paid to MYTILINEOS.

Company's other Contingent Assets & Liabilities

In May 2020 the Consortium consisting of the companies "General Electric International Inc." and "Mytilineos S.A." (formerly METKA SA), in its capacity as EPC Contractor of the project "HASSI R'MEL I - Construction and commissioning of a power plant with a total capacity of 368,152 MW in Algeria", (hereinafter "the Project") referred to the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) against the company and the owner of the project under the name "Société Algérienne de Production de l'Electricité" (SAPE), for claims due to delays of the Project, which fall within the sphere of responsibility of the project owner. The Company will recognize in its results the amount that may be awarded to it at the time of the positive outcome of this arbitration procedure.

Respectively, the project owner has raised, in the context of his response to the request for arbitration, counterclaims. According to the assessment of the legal advisors of the Company the aforementioned counterclaims of the project owner have low possibility of success.

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.

Therefore: a) an entity has a present obligation as a result of project owner's counterclaim, b) the possibility of success is extremely low and the outflow of resources to settle the obligation is not probable, c) no reliable estimation can be made regarding this obligation.

There are other potential third party claims of € 5.5 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 €10.5 Mio.

Guarantees

Apart from the above mentioned parent company guarantees in note 7.26, there are € 416.49 mio Group guarantees and € 375.61 mio parent company guarantees to customers and suppliers.
