The Company's key financial figures are presented below:
The improved performance observed in the six‐month period of 2023 both at Group and Company level, in terms of Revenue (GGR), Net gaming revenue (NGR) and Profit before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) reflects the continuing organic growth, primarily driven by strong performance in online and, the uninterrupted by the coronavirus (COVID‐19), retail performance.
The increased gaming activity in Greece and Cyprus is also reflected in the profitability of the Group and the Company which, has further been supported by lower finance costs on the back of decreased leverage. Furthermore, the significant increase in the Group's Profit after tax by 36.7% is also affected by the HELLENIC LOTTERIES S.A. licence impairment of € 18,840 th. that was charged in the comparative period in the prior year, while the Company's increase in Profit after tax by 123.2% was attributed to a high extent by dividend income of € 182,500 th. versus € 7,000 th. in the prior period.

On 03.04.2023, OPAP launched a new digital interactive entertainment hub, OPAPonline.gr which brings in new games and rejuvenates existing ones, aspiring to become an overarching brand, under which all lottery offerings will operate.
OPAP CYPRUS LTD currently operates in Cyprus on the basis of the 2003 Bilateral Agreement ("BA") between the Republic of Cyprus and the Hellenic Republic. However, according to a new law 52(Ι)/2018, the 2003 BA will be terminated upon the entry into force of a new Concession Agreement to be signed with OPAP CYPRUS LTD.
The Law 52(Ι)/2018 entitled "The Law on Specific Games of Chance of 2018" was published in the Government Gazette on 13.06.2018. According to said Law, the Coordinating Committee carried out due diligence and recommended OPAP CYPRUS LTD as the suitable operator. On 06.11.2019 the Council of Ministers validated OPAP CYPRUS LTD as the suitable operator to be granted with an exclusive licence to operate and offerspecific games of chance, in particular gamesfalling into one of the following categories: (a) numeric lotteries, which refer to correctly predicting random numbers which are chosen by a draw using a gaming system; and (b) games based on correctly predicting a combination of the results of sports events with variable odds.
The Codes of Practice of OPAP CYPRUS LTD have been approved by the National Betting Authority and the Minister of Finance. Following the approval of all Codes of Practice, the Coordinating Committee, by virtue of its letter dated on 20.07.2021, sent to OPAP CYPRUS LTD, according to the provision of art. 5(c) Law 52(I), a draft contract (Concession Agreement) to be concluded by the parties.
In March 2022, following intensive and constructive negotiations between the Coordinating Committee and OPAP CYPRUS LTD, the Coordinating Committee sent to OPAP CYPRUS LTD the final draft of the Concession Agreement and invited OPAP CYPRUS LTD to confirm the acceptance of its terms. On 21.03.2022 OPAP CYPRUS LTD approved the proposed Concession Agreement. In July 2023 the Codes of Practice of OPAP CYPRUS LTD were re‐submitted to the National Betting Authority for its approval. The National Betting Authority approved the Codes of Practice and sent them to the Minister of Finance for his approval. It is noted that following the signing and entry into force of the Concession Agreement, the 2003 BA shall be terminated.
Below we present the main risks and uncertainties to which the Group is exposed.
In the first half of 2023, global economy started improving, driven by diminishing energy prices and improving business and consumer sentiment. Economic activity in Greece remained on a solid upward trend as well exceeding the respective Euro area average. Overall, the Greek economy maintains, in the beginning of 2023, its growth momentum despite continuous inflationary pressures, mainly benefitted from the strong tourism sector performance, the pent‐up domestic demand and accumulated savings related to the Coronavirus (COVID‐19) pandemic. These adverse macro developments have led central banksto increase interest rates and governmentsto intervene with fiscal measuresto alleviate inflationary effects and assure price stability.
In this challenging environment, the Greek economy is expected to grow further in 2023, albeit at a slower pace, on the back of lower exposure of the Greek economy to the energy crisis compared with the EU average, a sizeable support from European funds and fiscal support measures to limit losses on households' real disposable income. The elimination of the effects of the coronavirus, the normalization of energy prices and the confirmation of forecasts that inflation is decelerating, even though the war in Ukraine continues, will enable a rapid return to normality and a risk‐taking disposition by shaping a positive outlook for the remainder of the year.
The Group's activity is significantly affected by disposable income and private consumption, which in turn are affected by the current economic conditions in Greece, such as the GDP, unemployment, inflation, and taxation levels.
The gaming sector in Greece is intensively regulated by the Hellenic Gaming Commission. The Greek authorities may unilaterally alter the legislative and regulatory framework that governs the provision of the games offered by the Group, whilst respecting obligations coming from valid concession agreements. Modifications of the Greek regulatory framework, drive evolving challenges for the Group and may have a substantial impact, due to the restrictions of betting activities or the increase of compliance costs.
OPAP consistently complies with regulatory standards and its obligations under its various licences and continuously monitors, analyses and addresses changing regulatory requirements in an efficient and effective manner.
A potential inability on the Group's part to comply with the regulatory and legal framework, as in force from time to time, could have a negative impact on the Group's business activities. Additionally, potential
restrictions on advertising can reduce the ability to reach new customers, thus impacting the implementation of the strategic objectives to focus on sustainable value increase of the Group's business activities.
OPAP participates in the public consultations of laws and regulations proposals and drafts, related to the business activities of the Group which are submitted by the competent authorities (Hellenic Gaming Commission, Ministry of Finance etc.). Furthermore, OPAP continually adapts to the changing regulatory/legal framework, while through appropriate policies, processes and controls a rational and balanced gaming regulation has been achieved.
The Group's business activities and the sector in which it operates are subject to varioustaxes and charges, such as the special contribution on the games it operates which is calculated based on the Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR), the tax on players' winnings and the income tax of legal entities.
The Company is exposed to the risk of changes to the existing gaming taxation framework or the gaming tax rates, creating unexpected increased costs for the business and impacting the implementation of Group's strategic objectives for sustainable revenues and additional investments. The Company is seeking to promptly respond to any potential tax changes, by maintaining the required tax planning resources and developing contingency plans so as to implement the required mitigating actions and to minimize the overall impact.
Market risk arises from the possibility that changes in market prices such as exchange rates and interest rates affect the results of the Group and the Company or the value of financial instruments held. The management of market risk consists in the effort of the Group and the Company to control their exposure to acceptable limits, mainly through monitoring interest rates on borrowings and restricting investments in volatile financial instruments that are sensitive to market risks.
Currency risk is the risk that the fair values or the cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuate due to changes in foreign currency rates. The Group operates in Greece and Cyprus, and the vast majority of its income, transactions, supplier agreements and costs are denominated or based in euro. Consequently, there is no substantial foreign exchange currency risk.
OPAP S.A. | 112 Athinon Ave, 104 42 Athens, Greece, Tel: +30 (210) 5798800 The Group is exposed to interest rate risk through the impact of rate changes on interest‐bearing liabilities and assets. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will impact cash
flows arising from variable rate financial instruments. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial asset or liability will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
The existing debt facilities, as at 30.06.2023, stand at € 660,083 th. and € 647,973 th. for the Group and the Company, respectively, of which € 42,624 th. are floating‐rate rate borrowings, while the remaining € 617,459 th. are fixed rate borrowings. Borrowings at floating rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk.
The Group follows all market developments and acts in a timely manner when needed to ensure borrowing are weighted based on its risk assessment and market expectations about future interest rates.
The primary objective of the Group and the Company, relating to capital management is to ensure and maintain strong credit ability and healthy capital ratios to support the business plans and maximize value for the benefit of shareholders. The Group maintains a solid capital structure as depicted in the Net Debt/EBITDA ratio of 0.2x as at 30.06.2023. In addition, it retains an efficient cash conversion cycle thus optimizing the operating cash required in order to secure its daily operations, while diversifying its cash reserves so as to achieve flexible working capital management.
The Group manages the capital structure and makes the necessary adjustments to conform to changes in business and economic environment in which they operate. The Group and the Company in order to optimize the capitalstructure, may adjust the dividend paid to shareholders,return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.
The Group's exposure to credit risk arises mainly from its operating activities and more specifically, it is linked to the collection process from its sales network. The aforementioned process leaves the Group exposed to the risk of financial lossif one of its counterparties/agentsfailsto meet itsfinancial obligations. In order to mitigate the aforementioned risk, OPAP established and implements a credit risk management policy. The main characteristics of the policy are:
The carrying value of financial assets at each reporting date is the maximum credit risk to which the Group is exposed.
The Group and the Company have the following types of financial assets that are subject to the expected credit loss model:
While cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment under IFRS 9, the identified impairment loss was not significant due to the fact that the cash and cash equivalents of the Group and the Company are held at reputable European financial institutions.
The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measure expected credit losses using a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. It is mentioned that the expected credit losses are based on the difference between the cash inflows, which are receivable, and the actual cash inflows that the Group expects to receive. All cash inflows in delay are discounted.
The remaining financial assets are considered to have low credit risk, therefore the Group applies the IFRS 9 general approach and the loss allowance was limited to 12 months expected losses.
The liquidity risk consists of the Group's potential inability to meet its financial obligations. The Group manages liquidity risk by performing a detailed forecasting analysis of the inflows and outflows of the Group on a yearly basis.
The aforementioned exercise takes into account:
The Group liquidity position is monitored on a daily basis from the Treasury Department and if needed makes recommendations to the CFO and the Board of Directors to assure no cash shortfalls.
Reliability and transparency in relation to the operation of the Group games are ensured through the adoption and implementation of effective technical and organizational security controls, which are
designed to ensure the integrity, availability and confidentiality of information systems and data. The above, ensures smooth operation and protection against any security breaches, such as data leakage and theft, as well as data corruption. The applied and enforced security controls protect data processing systems, software applications, data integrity and availability as well as the operation of online services. All operationally critical applications related to the conduct and disposal of games are hosted in infrastructure which ensures high availability and smooth operational transition to Secondary Infrastructure and Services. Furthermore, system criticality is continuously evaluated whether they are directly related to the availability of the games or not, in order to be included in the existing disaster recovery plan (Disaster Recovery Plan) if necessary. Finally, applications are part of a backup program following policies and procedures according to their criticality.
There is no direct exposure to climate risk for both, the Group and the Company. However, we are conscious of global climate change and environmental issues. With the aim to contribute to the mitigation of such issues, we systematically work towards minimizing our potential negative impact throughout our operations, by complying with current environmental legislation and relevant provisions, as well as conducting all necessary environmental impact assessments. Through our Environmental and Energy Policy, we are committed to conducting business in an environmentally responsible way, acknowledging that the protection of the environment, energy saving and the conservation of natural resources are integral parts of responsible and sustainable business development.
With a customer centric mindset we continue to be committed to our vision to deliver the best‐in‐class entertainment in a safe and responsible way, generate sustainable value to all stakeholders and give back to society. Our Fast Forward Strategy moves us ahead in 2023 and sets clear direction for ensuring OPAP's long‐term success with focus in the following six areas:

OPAP S.A. | 112 Athinon Ave, 104 42 Athens, Greece, Tel: +30 (210) 5798800 We put the customer at the centre of our focus, applying a customer centric mindset in everything we do. Changes are driven by the customers, so we need to affirm that we understand them well before anything else, since better customer understanding will lead to better gaming entertainment across all our channels. Customer's orientation includes the collection of the right data of online, VLTs and retail
activities, so as to get closer to our customer and to understand well who they are and what they want.

The Interim Condensed Separate and Consolidated Financial Information for the six month periods ended on 30.06.2023 and 30.06.2022 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and have been reviewed by the auditing firm PricewaterhouseCoopers S.A..

This report and the interim condensed financial information that are referred to herein have been translated from the original documents prepared in the Greek language. Our report was issued in the Greek language with respect to the Greek language interim condensed financial information. In the event that differences exist between the translated documents and the original Greek language documents, the Greek language documents will prevail.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed company and consolidated statement of financial position of Greek Organization of Football Prognostics S.A. Entity (the "Company"), as of 30 June 2023 and the related condensed company and consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flow statements for the six-month period then ended, and the selected explanatory notes that comprise the interim condensed financial information and which form an integral part of the six-month financial report as required by L.3556/2007.
Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed interim financial information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as they have been adopted by the European Union and applied 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.
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, as they have been transposed into Greek Law and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
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.

The attached notes on pages 36 to 84 form an integral part of the Interim Condensed Financial Information.
OPAP S.A. (the "Company" or "OPAP") was established as a private legal entity in 1958. It was reorganized as a société anonyme in 1999 domiciled in Greece and its accounting as such began in 2000. OPAP's registered office and principal place of business is 112 Athinon Avenue, 104 42 Athens, Greece. OPAP's shares are listed in the Athens Stock Exchange.
The ultimate controlling party of OPAP S.A. is the VALEA FOUNDATION, while since October 2016 the OPAP Group is fully consolidated by Allwyn International a.s. (previously under the name of SAZKA Group a.s.) which, as at 30.06.2023 holds 50.18% interest in OPAP (31.12.2022: 49.84%) which is deemed to be a controlling interest since the remaining shares are traded "free float" on the Athens Stock Exchange.
OPAP Group (the "Group"), beyond the parent company, includes the companies which OPAP S.A., either directly or indirectly controls (Note 3).
The Interim Condensed Financial Information for the six month period that ended on 30.06.2023 were approved by the Board of Directors on 31.08.2023.
The Interim Condensed Separate and Consolidated Financial Information for the six month period ended 30.06.2023 have been prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
The Interim Condensed Separate and Consolidated Financial Information do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual Financial Statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual audited Financial Statements for the year ended 31.12.2022, which are available on the Company's website www.opap.gr.
The Interim Condensed Separate and Consolidated Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost basis, unless otherwise stated in the accounting policies. Additionally, the Interim Condensed Separate and Consolidated Financial Information has been prepared under the going concern basis of accounting. The use of this basis of accounting takes into consideration the Group's current and forecasted financing position.
The preparation of the Interim Condensed Separate and Consolidated Financial Information according to the International Reporting Standards ("IFRS") requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates as well as the Management judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies.
The accounting policies used are the same as those applied to the annual audited Financial Statements for the year ended 31.12.2022, considering the changes to Standards and Interpretations applicable from 01.01.2023.
All amounts presented in the Financial Statements are in thousands of euro unless otherwise stated. They also have been rounded in thousands of euro and any differences are attributed to roundings.
The preparation of the Interim Financial Information requires management to make estimations and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Interim Financial Information and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual events could differ from those estimates.
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future eventsthat are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The effect of a change in an accounting estimate or judgement shall be recognized prospectively. Certain amounts included in or affecting the Interim Financial Information and related disclosure must be estimated, requiring management to make assumptions with respect to values or conditions which cannot be known with certainty at the time the Interim Financial Information is prepared. A ''critical accounting estimate'' is one which is both important to the portrayal of the Group's financial condition and results and requires management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Group evaluates such estimates and assumptions on ongoing basis, based upon historical results and experience, consultation with experts, trends and other methods considered reasonable in the particular circumstances, as well as forecasts as to how these might change in the future.
Certain new standards, amendmentsto standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. The Group's evaluation of the effect of these new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations is as follows:
IFRS 17 has been issued in May 2017 and, along with the Amendments to IFRS 17 issued in June 2020, supersedes IFRS 4. IFRS 17 establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts within the scope of the Standard and its objective is to ensure that an
entity providesrelevant information that faithfully representsthose contracts. The new standard solvesthe comparison problems created by IFRS 4 by requiring all insurance contracts to be accounted for in a consistent manner. Insurance obligations will be accounted for using current values instead of historical cost.
The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policy information and provide guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosures.
The amendments clarify how companies should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates.
The amendments require companies to recognise deferred tax on transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. This will typically apply to transactions such as leases for the lessee and decommissioning obligations.
The amendment is a transition option relating to comparative information about financial assets presented on initial application of IFRS 17. The amendment is aimed at helping entities to avoid temporary accounting mismatches between financial assets and insurance contract liabilities, and therefore improve the usefulness of comparative information for users of financial statements.
Also, the following amendment was issued which is applicable and has not yet been adopted by the European Union.
The amendments introduce a mandatory temporary exception from accounting for deferred taxes arising from the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development's (OECD) international tax reform. The amendments also introduce targeted disclosure requirements.
The temporary exception applies immediately and retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8, whereas the targeted disclosure requirements will be applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 but are not required for any interim period ending on or before 31 December 2023. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The Group and the Company will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any.
The adoption of the above amendments did not have a significant impact on the Interim Condensed Separate and Consolidated Financial Information.
The amendment clarifies that liabilities are classified as either current or non‐current depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the expectations of the entity or events after the reporting date. The amendment also clarifies what IAS 1 means when it refers to the 'settlement' of a liability. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.
The new amendments clarify that if the right to defer settlement is subject to the entity complying with specified conditions (covenants), this amendment will only apply to conditions that exist when compliance is measured on or before the reporting date. Additionally, the amendments aim to improve the information an entity provides when its right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to compliance with covenants within twelve months after the reporting period.
The 2022 amendments changed the effective date of the 2020 amendments. As a result, the 2020 and 2022 amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024 and should be applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8. As a result of aligning the effective dates, the 2022 amendments override the 2020 amendments when they both become effective in 2024. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
The amendment clarifies how an entity accounts for a sale and leaseback after the date of the transaction. Sale and leaseback transactions where some or all the lease payments are variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are most likely to be impacted. An entity applies the requirements retrospectively back to sale and leaseback transactions that were entered into after the date when the entity initially applied IFRS 16. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.
The amendments require companies to disclose information about their Supplier Finance Arrangements such as terms and conditions, carrying amount of financial liabilities that are part of such arrangements, ranges of payment due dates and liquidity risk information. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
The adoption of the amendments above is not expected to have material impact on the Group's and Company's Financial Statements.

During the preparation of the six‐month financial report for the period 01.01.2023 to 30.06.2023, the Management has evaluated potential indicators of impairment for the licence to organize and conduct mutual race betting of HORSE RACES SINGLE MEMBER S.A. and the right‐of‐use asset of the race‐track premises at Markopoulo. In making its assessment, the Management has assessed that the lease of the Markopoulo race‐track is not commercially viable for the Group. Accordingly, the Group's Management and the Board of Directors of HORSE RACES SINGLE MEMBER S.A. are currently committed to exploring all options available regarding the above lease, any implementation of which is subject to the fulfilment of the relevant legal requirements. In this respect, the Management has set as a final deadline for its decisions the 31.12.2023. On the basis of the latest approved business plan reflecting the most probable scenarios and a comparison between the actual performance of HORSE RACES SINGLE MEMBER S.A. and the budgeted figures, the Management concluded that there is no indication of impairment on the aforementioned carrying values of these assets on our Condensed Statement of Financial Position as at 30.06.2023.
The Group's "Right of Games" additions within the comparative period referred to the cost of the licence granted to the Company to conduct the numerical lottery game "Eurojackpot" in the Greek territory through its land‐based network (OPAP Stores). The licence's provision of services has not started yet and it has been granted for a period of 10 years starting from the date of the conduct of the first draw of Eurojackpot in Greece, with the option to be renewed for an equal or shorter time period.
The Group performed impairment testing procedures on all "Right of Games" as at 31.12.2022, resulting in
the recognition of a € 20,219 impairment charge relating to the 12‐year licence to produce, operate, distribute, promote and manage all State Lotteries of HELLENIC LOTTERIES S.A..
There were no indicators for impairment of any "Right of Games" as at 30.06.2023.
The intangible assets of the Group and the Company have not been pledged.

On 30.06.2023, certain Group entities had accumulated tax losses of € 94,864 (31.12.2022: € 95,438). TORA WALLET SINGLE MEMBER S.A. recognised deferred tax assets as at 30.06.2023 amounting to € 1,260 (31.12.2022: € 1,440) due to tax losses of the amount of € 5,728. These deferred tax assets will be recoverable using the estimated future taxable income based on approved business plans. For the remaining € 89,136 carried forward tax losses as at 30.06.2023, no deferred tax asset has been recognized due to the uncertainty of the timing of available taxable profits against which the tax losses could be offset. If the Group's entities were able to recognize all unrecognized deferred tax assets, these would amount to € 20,870 (31.12.2022: € 20,996).

The fair value of long‐term and short‐term borrowings is based on either quoted (unadjusted) prices (Level 1) or on discounted future cash flows using either direct or indirect observable inputs (Level 3). The fair value of all other financial assets and financial liabilities approximates their carrying amounts and are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
In the first half of 2023, global economy started improving, driven by diminishing energy prices and improved business and consumer sentiment. Economic activity in Greece remained on a solid upward trend while exceeding the respective Euro area average. Overall, the Greek economy maintains, in the beginning of 2023, its growth momentum despite continuousinflationary pressures, mainly benefitted from the strong tourism sector performance, the pent‐up domestic demand and accumulated savings related to the Coronavirus (COVID‐19) pandemic. These adverse macro developments have led central banks to increase interest rates and governments to intervene with fiscal measures to alleviate inflationary effects and assure price stability.
In this challenging environment, the Greek economy is expected to grow further in 2023, although at a slower pace, driven primarily by lower exposure of the Greek economy to the energy crisis compared to the EU average, a sizeable support from European funds and fiscal support measures to limit losses on households' real disposable income. The reduced effects of the corona virus, the normalization of energy prices and the confirmation of forecasts that inflation is decelerating, even though the war in Ukraine
continues, will enable a rapid return to normality and a risk‐taking disposition by shaping positive outlook for the remaining of the year.
The Group's activity is significantly affected by disposable income and private consumption, which in turn are affected by the current economic conditions in Greece, such as the GDP, unemployment, inflation, and taxation levels.
The Group isfollowing developments and monitoring customer behavior for any signs of a long‐term decline in their gaming activity or spending, which would act as an impairment indicator for the respective licences. The Group has considered the impact of the current macroeconomic environment on the measurement of non‐financial and financial assets. Revised budgets reflect the impact of the inflation on GDP and private consumption along with emerging trends in gaming activity.
Management reassessed also the recoverability of trade and other receivables, included intergroup receivables. Management assessed the impact of the economic environment has on the expected credit losses (ECL) calculation and the effect of credit risk on the amount, timing and uncertainty of future cash flows.
Within this challenging environment, the Group managed to record positive results as at 30.06.2023 maintaining strong financial position. The total debt of the Group and the Company mainly bears fixed interest rates thus the Group and the Company are not sensitive to potential changes in interest rates on loans.
Management continually assesses the possible impact of any changes in the macroeconomic and financial environment in Greece taking into consideration global economic developments, so as to ensure that all necessary measures are taken in order to minimize any impact on the Group's Greek operations.
There is no direct exposure to climate risk for both, the Group and the Company. However, we are conscious of global climate change and environmental issues. With the aim to contribute to the mitigation of such issues, we systematically work towards minimizing our potential negative impact throughout our operations, by complying with current environmental legislation and relevant provisions, as well as conducting all necessary environmental impact assessments. Through our Environmental and Energy Policy, we are committed to conducting business in an environmentally responsible way, acknowledging that the protection of the environment, energy saving and the conservation of natural resources are integral parts of responsible and sustainable business development.
Management continually assesses the possible impact of any changes in the macroeconomic and financial environment in Greece and Cyprus so as to ensure that all necessary actions and measures are taken in order to minimize any impact on the Group's operations. Based on its current assessment, it has concluded that no additional impairment provisions are required with respect to the Group's financial and non‐ financial assets as at 30.06.2023.
Next, we present the main risks and uncertainties which the Group is exposed.
Market risk arises from the possibility that changes in market prices such as exchange rates and interest rates affect the results of the Group and the Company or the value of financial instruments held. The management of market risk consists in the effort of the Group and the Company to control their exposure to acceptable limits.
The individual risks that comprise market risk, namely interest rate and currency risk, and the Group's and the Company's policies for managing them are described below.
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk through the impact of rate changes on interest‐bearing liabilities and assets.
Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will impact cash flows arising from variable rate financial instruments. Borrowings at floating rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk.
Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial asset or liability will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. However, the Group doesn't have fixed rate financial assets and financial liabilities which are remeasured to fair value.
The existing debt facilities, as at 30.06.2023, stand at € 660,083 and € 647,973 for the Group and the Company, respectively, of which € 42,624 are floating‐rate rate borrowings, while the remaining € 617,459 are fixed rate borrowings.
The Group follows all market developments and acts in a timely manner when needed to ensure borrowing are weighted based on its risk assessment and market expectations about future interest rates.
The Group's and the Company's borrowings are analysed as follows:
| GROUP | COMPANY | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30.06.2023 | 31.12.2022 | 30.06.2023 | 31.12.2022 | |
| Fixed rate borrowings | 617,459 | 648,254 | 647,973 | 678,418 |
| Floating rate borrowings | 42,624 | 140,133 | 1 | 99,681 |
| Total | 660,083 | 788,386 | 647,973 | 778,099 |
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a change by 1.0% in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, on floating rate borrowings to the income statement:
| GROUP | COMPANY | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Impact on profit after tax | 30.06.2023 | 30.06.2022 | 30.06.2023 | 30.06.2022 |
| Increase by 1% | (346) | (445) | (189) | (370) |
| Decrease by 1% | 346 | 196 | 189 | 196 |
Currency risk is the risk that the fair values or cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuate due to changes in foreign currency rates. The Group operates in Greece and Cyprus, and the vast majority of its income, transactions, supplier agreements and costs are denominated or based in euro. Consequently, there is no substantial foreign exchange currency risk.
The primary objective of the Group and the Company, relating to capital management is to ensure and maintain strong credit ability and healthy capital ratios to support the business plans and maximize value for the benefit of shareholders. The Group maintains a solid capital structure as depicted in the Net Debt/EBITDA ratio of 0.2x as at 30.06.2023. In addition, it retains an efficient cash conversion cycle thus optimizing the operating cash required in order to secure its daily operations, while diversifying its cash reserves so as to achieve flexible working capital management.
The Group manages the capital structure and makes the necessary adjustments to conform to changes in business and economic environment in which they operate. The Group and the Company in order to optimize the capital structure, may adjust the dividend paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.
The Group's exposure to credit risk arises mainly from its operating activities and more specifically, it is linked to the collection process from its sales network. The aforementioned process leaves the Group exposed to the risk of financial loss if one of its counterparties/agents fails to meet its financial obligations.
In order to mitigate the aforementioned risk, OPAP established and implements a credit risk management policy. The main characteristics of the policy are:
The carrying value of financial assets at each reporting date is the maximum credit risk to which the Group is exposed.
The Group and the Company have the following types of financial assets that are subject to the expected credit loss model:
While cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment under IFRS 9, the identified impairment loss was not significant due to the fact that the cash and cash equivalents of the Group and the Company are held at reputable European financial institutions.
The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measure expected credit losses using a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. It is mentioned that the expected credit losses are based on the difference between the cash inflows, which are receivable, and the actual cash inflowsthat the Group expects to receive. All cash inflows in delay are discounted.
The remaining financial assets are considered to have low credit risk, therefore the Group applies the IFRS 9 general approach and the loss allowance was limited to 12 months expected losses.
The liquidity risk consists of the Group's potential inability to meet its financial obligations. The Group managesliquidity risk by performing a detailed forecasting analysis of the inflows and outflows of the Group on a yearly basis.
The aforementioned exercise takes into account:
Tax obligations and other financial commitment towards the government
84 Financial obligations arising from the Group's loan portfolio
The Group liquidity position is monitored on a daily basis from the Treasury Department and if needed makes recommendations to the CFO and the Board of Directors to assure no cash shortfalls.
The Company's Board of Directors decided during its meeting on 31.08.2023 to distribute € 1.00 per share (in absolute amount) as interim dividend for the fiscal year 2023.
