Α. Report on 1st Semester 2024

Period results:

Statement of comprehensive income

- Revenues

The total revenues of the first half of the year amounted to € 107.1 million, when compared to the corresponding half of 2023 (€ 102.4 million), they increased by € 4.7 million or 4.6%. This change is mainly due to the significant increase in revenues from the car terminal sector, the revenues of the cruise sector and the container sector by 59.9%, 13.2% and 4.0% or by € 6.2 million, € 1.2 million and € 0.9 million approximately, respectively. This increase was compensated by the decrease in revenues from the concession agreement of Pier II and III by € 3.8 million or 9.3% (Note 22 & 23).

- Expenses

The key operating costs mainly relate to the Payroll costs which during the first half of 2024 showed an increase 10.1 % and amounted to € 34.2 million compared to € 31.0 million in the corresponding half of 2023 (Note 28). As regards the remaining (excluding staff fees) expenses, they showed an increase of € 3.3 million or 14.8%, which is due to the following:

Provisions for disputed cases showed a significant increase of € 2.9 million due to the fact that in the last year period a provision of € 3.0 million was offset (Note 24).

An increase was also noted in Miscellaneous expenses by € 0.7 million or by 26.2%, due to the increase in promotion, advertising and donation expenses during this period compared to the same last year period.

The "Greek State Concession Consideration" showed an increase of € 0.2 million or by 9.5% due to a corresponding increase in revenuesin a semester of 2024 compared to the corresponding semester of 2023 (Note 24).

Depreciation showed an increase by 3.7 % during the current period, reaching € 9.7 million compared to 9.3 million of the previous period (Note 27).

There was an increase in the consumption of materials by € 0.2 million or by 20.0%, which in the current period amounted to € 1.4 million, while in the corresponding period last year it was € 1.2 million (Note 9). There was a decrease in Third Party Services by € 1.0 million or by 13.7%, mainly due to a reduced charge

on the Company's electricity bill.

- Net impairment losses on financial assets

The net impairment loss of financial assets showed a significant decrease during the current period, amounting to € 0.7 million positive impairment loss due to reversal of provisions of previous years (30.6.2023: € 0.4 million) (Note 10).

- Other Operating Income/Expenses

The other operating income of the current period presented an increase of € 0.7 million or by 22.6%, and amounted to € 3.8 million, while in the corresponding period last year it was € 3.1 million.

The other operating expenses of the period amounted to € 0.4 million, when compared to the corresponding period of 2023 (€ 1.1 million), they showed a decrease of € 0.7 million or by 63.6%. The decrease is mainly due to the recalculation of tax fines and surcharges for the 2019 financial year, following the notification of the tax authority's final control sheet, which amounted to € 0.4 million.

-Financial expenses / income

A decrease was observed in the financial expenses of the current period (30.06.2024: € 1.3 million compared to 30.06.2023: € 2.1 million), a change which is mainly due to the capitalization of interest on long-term loans of the period and letters of guarantee in accordance with IAS 23 by € 0.9 million (Note 4 & 26).

A significant increase was observed in the financial income of the current period (30.06.2024: € 2.7 million compared to 30.06.2023: € 0.5 million), which is due to the increase in interest income from term deposits (Note 26).

Statement of financial position

-Total Assets

The total assets on 30.06.2024 amount to € 644.0 million, increased by 5.3% or € 32.7 million (31.12.2023: € 611.3 million).

The increase in total assets is mainly due to the following changes in the following individual funds, namely: • in the increase of the non-depreciable balance of own-use tangible assets by the amount of € 16.0 million or

by 5.1% (mainly due to the net additions of the period in the amount of € 24.7 million reduced during the period's depreciation of the amount of € 8 .7 million (Note 4))

• the increase in cash and cash equivalents by € 6.6 million or by 3.3% (Note 12).

• the increase in trade and other receivables by € 11.5 million or by 65.7% mainly due to the increase in the net balance of trade receivables (customer balance minus provision for doubtful customers) by € 9.3 million, the increase of other receivables by the amount of € 1.5 million as well as the increase of interest receivable by the amount of € 0.6 million (Note 10).

This increase was mainly offset by:

  • the reduction of the right to use assets amounting to € 0.8 million or by 1.5% mainly due to depreciation amounting to € 1.1 million plus additions for the period amounting to € 0.3 million (Note 5).
  • reduction of closing stocks by € 0.4 million or by 9.7% (Note 9).
  • reduction of the deferred tax asset by an amount of € 0.3 million or by 9.1% (Note 8).

The change in total liabilities is mainly due to the following changes in the following individual items, namely:

• reduction of bank borrowing by the amount of € 3.0 million or by 11.3% due to repayment of two installments

in accordance with the repayment plan (Note 18).

  • reduction of accruals and other liabilities by the amount of € 10.8 million or by 34.2% (Note 20)
  • reduction of short-term and long-term lease obligations by € 2.2 million or by 3.5% (Note 5) which is mainly

due to payments of € 3.6 million offset by financial costs of € 1, 2 million of the period.

  • reduction of deferred income for the following year by the amount of € 0.4 million or by 1.4% (Note 21).
  • reduction of grants by the amount of € 0.4 million or by 1.2% (Note 15) due to the depreciation of the period.

B. Highlights of the 1st semester 2024

Major events

Inauguration project ceremony for the "Completion of RoRo (Car Terminal) Expansion - Heracleous Port" It is a project with a total investment of €20 million which is included in the Mandatory Investments of PPA, within the framework of the agreement with the Greek State. This project will further improve the competitiveness and attractiveness of the port as a vehicle transshipment hub in the Mediterranean. The expansion of the Car Terminal by approximately 40,000 m2 towards the northern side of the port, increases the total area of the New Terminal to 110,000 m2, which overall creates car storage space with a capacity of 5,100 cars, thus contributing to the further development of the Piraeus Port Authority.

5 th Balkans & Black Sea Forum

The 5th Balkans & Black Sea Forum (BBSF 2024), themed "Trading Arteries & Global Supply Chains at Stake", took place at the premises of the Company, highlighting the crucial role of our country's largest port in global trade and supply chain, as a major maritime gateway. BBSF 2024, dedicated to fostering institutional and commercial cross-border collaboration among Central and Eastern European countries, the Balkans, and the Black Sea region, drew attendance from the international community, diplomats, heads of international organizations and business leaders.

Signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Port of Guangzhou in China

In a special ceremony hosted at its premises, PPA entered a partnership with the Chinese Port of Guangzhou, ranking among the top 10 largest commercial ports globally. Under this Memorandum, the governing bodies of both ports committed to enhancing their partnership, establishing a lasting alliance that anticipates present and future challenges. Furthermore, both parties pledged to escalate joint endeavors towards investments aimed at transitioning into environmentally sustainable ports and exploring innovative solutions to minimize carbon emissions. Finally, they agreed to closely collaborate on port digitization and automation, ensuring a continual exchange of expertise and cutting-edge technologies.

Completion of the European project CIPORT in Brussels

The concluding event for the European project "CIPORT-Cold Ironing in the Port of Piraeus – Taking the final step" took place at the Berlaymont, the headquarters of the European Commission, following its completion in late February 2024. This significant European project was implemented by PPA with cofinancing from the European Union.

Among the attendees was Vice-President of the European Commission, Mr. Margaritis Schinas, who emphasized the importance of Transportation for Europe, a high priority for the European Commission. Mr. Schinas referred to the CIPORT project as significant and of national importance since Piraeus, apart from being one of the largest ports in Europe, is also a major hub for cruising and a ferry transportation for the Greek islands.

Acquisition of Additional State-of-the-Art Shipbuilding Cranes within the framework of Perama Ship Repair Zone Upgrade

Two cutting-edge double level luffing jib shipbuilding cranes arrived at the Port of Piraeus. Equipped with a lifting capacity of 40 tons each, these state-of-the-art cranes are reshaping service offerings within the ship repair zone. With the capability to accommodate vessels up to 55 meters in height, they mark a new era, ending decades of reliance on mobile cranes in the Perama zone, which previously lacked quayside cranes. It is noted that the procurement of these specific cranes, with a total value of approximately 8 million euros, is part of the investments that the Company is implementing for the upgrade and renovation of the Ship Repair Zone equipment, in accordance with the concession agreement with the Greek State.

Seatrade Cruise Global 2024, the leading international cruise trade event

PPA participated once again in the "Seatrade Cruise Global 2024", the international cruise event, held in Miami, Florida, USA. The Seatrade Cruise Global is the world's largest cruise trade event. PPA S.A. joined as a co-exhibitor at the booth of the Greek National Tourism Organization, aiming to promote the country's tourism and showcase Piraeus as a leading cruise port in the Mediterranean and Europe, highlighting Greece's exceptional tourism and cruise services.

This year, over 600 exhibitors from 120 countries worldwide participated, with over 240 speakers, while it was visited by over 10,000 individuals.

Posidonia 2024

PPA once again showcased its vibrant and engaging presence at the prestigious Posidonia 2024 international shipping exhibition. Drawing a diverse array of visitors from both domestic and international backgrounds, PPA S.A.'s booth hosted prominent figures from the shipping industry, business and politics.

PPA: Recognized among the Most Sustainable Companies in the country for third consecutive year

For the third consecutive year, PPA has been recognized by the Quality Net Foundation as one of the most sustainable companies in Greece. This distinction was based on PPA S.A.'s outstanding annual evaluation and performance across the three ESG pillars: environment, society, and corporate governance. For the Company, strict adherence to ESG principles is not merely a procedural obligation but a cornerstone of its development and modernization strategy for the Port of Piraeus. It is noteworthy that being included in the list of the most sustainable companies in the country by the Quality Net Foundation represents the most significant distinction in Greece, in the field of sustainable transition.

C. Evolution of Business Activities

Cruise

Cruise ship arrivals in the first half of 2024 stood at 288 compared to 272 in the same previous period in 2023, recording an increase of 5.9%. The total number of passengers recorded an increase of 11.2% (549.442 passengers) compared to 2023 (494,164 passengers). In particular, compared to 1st semester of 2023 there was an increase of 15.8% (315,061 passengers vs 272,148 passengers) in homeport passengers and 5.6% (234,381 passengers vs 222,016 passengers) in transit passengers.

Coastal Shipping

There was an 8.3% increase in passengers from 6,669,053 in the first half of 2023 to 7,223,263 in the same period of 2024. Vehicle traffic rose to 1,403,133, an increase of 8.2% compared to 2023 (1,296,617). Ship arrivals also registered an increase, reaching 6,366, an 1.6% increase compared to 2023 (6,268 arrivals).

Car Terminal

In the first half of 2024, car traffic volumes fell from 2023 levels by 28.6% (124,698 vs. 174,555 in 2023) as transshipment cargo decreased to 45,297 units from 92,286 (-50.9%). Domestic cargo compared to 2023, decreased to 79,401 units from 82,269 (-3.5%). The primary reason for the decreased volumes is the yard congestion at the car terminal created by longer than usual storage periods of cargo at the piers of the port. This exceptional situation, which is mainly due to the malfunctioning of the supply chain, at both domestic and international level, offered significantly increased storage service fees amounting to approximately €10.1 million in the first half of 2024 (30.06.2023: €3.2 million), more than offsetting the loss ofthe decrease in other revenues, mainly due to lower handling levels, leading to the overall increase in the revenues of the segment (Note 23).

Container Terminal

The throughput at the Container Terminal, Pier I during the first half of 2024 reached 253,552 TEUs, marking a decrease of 7.9% compared to the corresponding period of 2023 (275,214). In particular, a decrease in transshipment cargo was recorded from 199,621 TEUs to 146,714 TEUs (-26.5%). However, domestic cargo (imports and exports) increased significantly by 41.3% (from 75,593 TEUs in 2023 to 106,837 TEUs in 2024). This trend of domestic cargo is positively influenced by the growth of the Greek economy, and is the main reason behind the improved performance of the Container Terminal business unit, as it is a significantly more profitable activity for the Company.

Ship Repair Zone

The number of repaired ships in PPA docks reached 76 ships compared to 85 in 2023 (-10.6%). Additionally, the length of time the ships stayed in the docks recorded a decrease of 10.7% (731 days) compared to 2023 (819 days). The ships under repair in the Ship Repair Zone recorded an increase of 10.2% (130 ships) in relation to the corresponding period of 2023 (118 ships), primarily supported by the use of the whole Heracleous V pier for berthing repaired ships despite the fact that infrastructure upgrading projects in Perama reduced the availability of repair positions throughout the Zone.

Six-month Financial Report for the period ended June 30, 2024 (amounts in Euro, unless stated otherwise)

D. Environmental, Social, Working Issues

D.1. Care for the Environment

Recognizing its role as port leader in the Mediterranean area, PPA promotes sustainability and takes action to prevent and mitigate its environmental impacts, by implementing policies and mechanisms in line with the European, National, and International environmental regulations.

The environmental impacts of the Company's operation are estimated in the approved Environmental Impact Assessment Study. Within 2023, PPA S.A. received a new Approval Decision of Environmental Terms (AEPO) from the Ministry of Environment & Energy, ensuring the implementation of the updated Environmental Terms in order to prevent and reduce the identified impacts.

Within the framework of the implemented environmental management system, the Company has developed a specific environmental policy and maintains updated records of the environmental parameters and indicators related to the company's activities. In accordance with European and International standards, PPA aims at the continuous improvement of its environmental performance, by protecting the environment and preserving natural resources for future generations as follows:

I.Environmental quality monitoring programs across the port area related to:

  • Noise: 24 h noise measurements & three (3) permanent 24/7 recording noise measurements stations.
  • Air quality: four (4) permanent air quality measurement stations and 24/7 recording.
  • Marine environment: sea water and sediments quality measurements

It is noted that the above environmental quality monitoring programs have been upgraded in line with the provisions set in the new Environmental Terms Approval Decision of PPA of 2023.

II.Integrated waste management system produced in the Company's premises and facilities, which includes:

  • close monitoring under a special waste management system in order to enhance recycling, circular economy, reuse and recovery of materials and to reduce the quantities sent for disposal.
  • Separate management of all generated waste streams. The main waste streams that are recycled/recovered are paper, glass, packaging, plastic, empty ink bottles, used batteries and accumulators, waste electrical and electronic equipment, lubricating oils, tires, wood waste, metal waste, waste from plants, operational waste from workshops, operational waste from docks (floating and permanent), etc.
  • III.Ship-generated Waste Management Plan in accordance with the European regulations and the International Convention on Marine Pollution MARPOL 73/78. According to the Plan a system for Port Reception Facilities is established for the proper and efficient collection and management of all the categories of ship-generated waste. It is noted that since the beginning of the Plan's implementation, no ship complaints have been recorded for insufficient waste management services.
  • IV.Contingency plans for the prevention and preparedness of response to marine and land pollution from petroleum products and harmful substances and daily monitoring of the cleaning of the marine and land area of the Company. The Plans, which are approved by the competent authority, describe the actions to be followed by all involved personnel in the incident of oil spills or other harmful substances and are activated when a related incident occurs.

D.2. Climate Change/ Energy & Emissions

Regarding Climate Change, PPA implements a wide variety of actions that both directly and indirectly contribute to the adaptation and shielding of the port against climate change and at the same time reducing the port's contribution to climate change (management of consumption and emissions).

The Company in the frame of the prevention, mitigation of risk and the enhancement of the sustainable development has initiated the specialized project "Climate Change vulnerability and adaptation study for Piraeus port". The field of the study covers port's projects, infrastructure and activities and is aligned with the directions of the National Climate Law and the Regional Plan of Attica Region for Adaptation to Climate Change (PESPKA). The study aims to develop specific methodology, specialised models based on scenarios for the assessment of climate change impacts, the assessment of vulnerability, risks and the proposal of corrective actions for adaptation by the Piraeus port.

Furthermore, the Company is studying Climate change's potential impact through participating to the EU funded Project called ARSINOE (Climate-resilient regions through systemic solutions and innovations). The aim is to identify Risks and Opportunities related to Climate and consider measures to enhance climate change resilience and adaptation.

In addition to the above, PPA SA implements actions related to the reduction of emissions from its activities but also to support its customers – the vessels – in their own journey towards decarbonisation.

  1. Emissions calculation as per ISO 14064-1:2018 standard.

PPA acts responsibly and calculates the Emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) of the port activities that PPA controls since 2020. Since 2023, PPA started the Emissions calculation of these Emissions Category 1 & 2 (Scope 1 & Scope 2) for the year 2022 according to the ISO 14064-1:2018 standard, pursuant to the corresponding requirement of the Climate Law 4936/2022. The aim of the Greek Climate Law is achieving at decarbonization and climate neutrality, in line with the EU Green Deal. For the Company, reducing emissions and working towards achieving climate neutrality is among its fundamental goals.

In the 1st semester of 2024, PPA calculated Scope 1 & Scope 2 Annual Emissions for 2023. This calculation will be verified annually by an external verification body.

  1. Study on LNG Bunkering at PPA's Cruise area

The Company, in order to support its clients and their efforts towards decarbonization, continues studying how to provide LNG Bunkering at Cruise vessels at Cruise area. LNG is regarded as a transition fuel towards decarbonization and LNG Bunkering requires special studies to be compiled and specific procedures to be implemented to ensure safe operations.

  1. Cold ironing at PPA Cruise & Ferry berths

PPA, through its participation to two (2) EU funded Projects: EALING for PPA Ferry berths and CIPORT for PPA Cruise berths has started studying on cold ironing, also called as on-shore power supply. Taking into account the requirements of EU AFIR (Alternative Fuel Infrastructure) Regulation, the Company has started early to study the provision of cold ironing at five (5) Ferry berths and four (4) Cruise berths.

H. Prospects and expected developments, Main risks and uncertainties in the 2nd semester

The nature of PPA's business activities depends on various domestic and international macroeconomic and geopolitical factors with a focus on the countries of the South-East Mediterranean and countries served through the port of Piraeus. They are further influenced by developments in the global port industry in general, as well as by the evolution of individual port activities which are directly linked to the Company's investment program as well as the level of services provided to port users.

European Commission's Spring Forecast Projects Gross domestic product (GDP) growth in 2024 at 1.0% in the European Union (EU) and 0.8% in the euro area. In 2025, GDP is forecast to accelerate to 1.6% in the EU and to 1.4% in the euro area. For the first quarter, GDP edged up by 0.3% in both the EU and the euro area, and growth of economic activity in 2024 is expected to be driven by a steady expansion of private consumption1 . For Greece, the Commission, estimates GDP growth to pick up slightly in 2024 at 2.2% and inflation to set at 2.8%.

Imports during the period January-May 2024 showed an increase in value of 2.3%, compared to 2023 while exports recorded a decrease in the same period of 3.6%2 . At the same time, the turnover in retail trade at constant prices in the first quarter, recorded a decrease of 4.2%3 which might be indicating an easing of consumption that could affect imports in the rest of the year and consequently in the volumes served at the port.

3 Bulletin of conjunctural Indicators,https://www.bankofgreece.gr/Publications/sdos202405-06.pdf [accessed 24, July 2024]

The disruption due to the Red Sea disturbance that started in late 2023 continues to impact the sailing routes. A significant number of ships and particularly containers from Asia to Europe are re-routed around Africa (and vice versa) instead of via the Mediterranean. As a result, the geographical advantage of Piraeus as the first continental port of the EU after passing Suez is diminished. The circumnavigation of Africa, in particular, has led all container shipping companies not only to rearrange routes, but also to consider alternative ports as ports on the western edge of the Mediterranean become transshipment points and supply eastern Mediterranean through feeder ships. These conditions are portrayed also in the reduced transshipment container volume at Pier I, as explained in detail above.

Based on data from the European Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in the first half of 2024, new car registrations in the EU increased (+4.5%), reaching 5.7 million units4 . This increase is modest as May recorded -3% and in the first 4 months the growth was between 12.1% (January) and 13.7% (April) indicating a potential impact from economic conditions and uncertainty of consumers regarding the future of mobility engines. More precisely, battery electric vehicles recorded 1.3% in the first half of 2024 over the same period in 2023. On the other hand, EU hybrid-electric vehicles registrations recorded 26.4% increase in the first half. In the Greek domestic market registrations recorded a 10.9% compared to 2023 reaching 78.020 units from 70.3615 .

The increased throughput of domestic cargo creates challenges to the localsupply chain. As a result, import vehicles stay much longer in the temporary parking areas of the port terminal, resulting in congestion of these areas and increase in the service time of vessels due to lack of berthing spaces. The increase in the storage time of domestic vehicles significantly boosts storage revenues but affects negatively the service times of ships and the attractiveness of the port by diverting transshipment cargoes to alternative ports. Consequently, as long as the above situation is maintained, it improves short-term financial results of this activity but creates medium-term challenges in the prospects of attracting transshipment cargo.

In the cruise sector, Piraeus port expects further growth in 2024, despite the impressive first half-year results presented in detail above. It is noted that the peak season for cruise is between July and October and based on the pre-bookings further increase is expected for the rest of the year. On the other hand, the increase in homeport passengers creates increased space and infrastructure needs and confirms the need to expand infrastructure to serve current and future demand which will benefit a lot of Greek destinations as well as of the Mediterranean as a whole.

The coastal shipping sector records an increase in the first half of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, both in terms of passengers as well as in vehicles while for the rest of the year including the peak summer season it is expected that the current passenger trend will continue as data from the tourist arrivals at the airport record an increase of 8.2%6 .

During the first half of 2024, demand for drydocks of PPA recorded a decrease, as detailed above primarily due to the increased competition from the restart of the shipyard in Elefsis and the agreement between Onex SA with Attica Group - in 20237 that shifted ships to Elefsis.

The dividend for the year 2022 was paid on August 2nd 2024.

Tax audit for the years 2017-1019

The Company received the decisions of the Head of the Dispute Resolution Division of the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) with decision numbers 1423, 1424, 1425, 1426, 1428, & 1429 dated 14 May 2024, where it was decided to reject the claims filed on 18.1. 2024 and the ratification of the (original - as above) Final Corrective Determination Acts Taxes / Fines of the Head of the CEMEP, redetermining the final tax liabilities - amounts to be charged based on the present decisions, which resulted in a lower amount of fines of € 340.354,99 (Note 24).

Except for the above, there are no other subsequent events after June 30, 2024 that may significantly affect the Company's financial position.

K. GOING CONCERN DISCLOSURE:

The Company, for the preparation of the Financial Information of June 30, 2024, has adopted the going concern basis. For the application of this principle, the Company took into account the current financial developments as well as the risks arising from the financial environment and made estimates for the shaping, in the near future, of the trends and the economic environment in which it operates. The main factors that can affect the implementation of this principle are mainly related to the economic environment in Greece and internationally as well as the ongoing Russia/Ukraine conflict, the conflict in the Gaza Strip with the resulting issues in the energy sector and rising inflation and of course the obstruction of the safe passage of merchant ships through the Suez Canal with severe impact on the movement of cargo and delays in the supply chain.

As part of the consideration of whether to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements, Management has considered the Company's financial performance in the semester, as well as a quantitative viability exercise, including the performance of various stress tests that consider the Company's principal risks, including that relating to climate change, and confirms the Company's ability to generate cash in 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and beyond. The Company's strong balance sheet and liquidity position, its operation in several segments, the strong and dynamic management and the experienced human resources will allow the Company to successfully overcome any period of uncertainty. Therefore, it is deemed appropriate that the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis for the preparation of the financial statements.

Accordingly, and having reassessed the principal risks, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Annual Financial Statements and have not identified any material uncertainties to the Company's ability to continue trading as a going concern over a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of six-month Financial report ended June 30,2024.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON REVIEW OF CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(Translated from the original in Greek)

To the Shareholders of PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A

Report on the Review of Condensed Interim Financial Information

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed Statement of Financial Position of PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A (the "Company") as at 30 June 2024 and the related interim condensed Statements of Comprehensive Income, Changes in Equity and Cash Flows for the six-month period then ended and the selected explanatory notes, which comprise the condensed interim financial information and which forms an integral part of the six-month financial report of articles 5 and 5a of Law 3556/2007. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed interim financial information in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the European Union and specifically with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed1 interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 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 incorporated in Greek Law, and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed interim financial information as at 30 June 2024 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Our review did not identify any material inconsistency or error in the statements of the members of the Board of Directors and in the information of the six-month Financial Report of the Board of Directors as defined in articles 5 and 5a of L. 3556/2007 in relation to the accompanying interim condensed financial information.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(a) Basis of Preparation of Financial information:

The accompanying interim condensed financial information that refer to the period ended on June 30, 2024, have been prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

The Company, for the preparation of the Interim Condensed Financial Information of June 30, 2024, has adopted the going concern basis.

The accompanying interim condensed financial information do not include all the information required in the annual financial information and therefore should be examined in combination with the published annual financial information for the year ended 2023, which are available on the internet in the address www.olp.gr.

The Company's management observes closely and continuously all the challenges that arise at global and domestic level, such as the extended conflict in Ukraine, the war in the Gaza Strip, the prevailing situation, which results in the unsafe transit of cargo ships through the Suez Canal and Red Sea, as well as their effects on the macroeconomic and financial environment, such as the energy instability, the increase in energy and bank interest rates, the most intense inflationary pressures, the most serious complications in international shipping and global trade, are continuously evaluated in order to ensure that all necessary actions and initiatives are undertaken to minimize possible consequences for the Company's activities.

Management believes that its strong capital position and liquidity, its activity in different sectors, its strong and dynamic Management, the experienced human resources as well as the fact that until now the above conditions have not significantly affected its activities , will allow the Company to successfully overcome any period of uncertainty and has reached the conclusion that no additional impairment provisions of the financial and non-financial assets of the Company are required on June 30, 2024.

(b) Approval of Interim Condensed Financial information:

The Board of Directors of Piraeus Port Authority S.A. approved the six-month financial report for the period ended at June 30, 2024 on September 27 2024.

(c) Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates:

The Company makes estimates and judgments in order to select the most appropriate accounting principles in relation to future developments and transactions. Estimates and judgments adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed financial information are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The general macroeconomic environment, the conflicts in Ukraine and Strip of Gaza, as well as the unstable situation for transit of cargo ships through Suez Canal and Red Sea led the Company to proceed with an interim assessment of impairment of the recoverable amount for the sectors of activity that were significantly affected and recorded operating losses due the above conditions.

For this reason, the Company's Management carried out an impairment assessment of the recoverable amount as at 30 June 2024, evaluating the new data in the Container Terminal's business segment, which continued to show losses in the first half of 2024, albeit considerably reduced compared to the corresponding period of 2023.

The assessment was carried out, in accordance with the requirements of IAS 36, by determining the recoverable value ('value in use') of the segment through the Discounted Cash Flow valuation method and its revised business plans. The discount rate used to discount the cash flows is 11.30% (31.12.2023: 10.60%).

In addition, the Management, in an effort to enhance the performance of the sector and shield them as reliably as possible of the future impact of the above events entered into significant business agreements with major customers for the segment's business, aiming at its growth rate, and in the achievement of positive operating results in the next years, despite the ongoing challenges which faces this sector in a global level (Note 33).

Based on the results, the present value exceeded far the carrying value of the property, plant and equipment of the Container Terminal, and therefore no impairment was recorded as at 30 June 2024.

A sensitivity analysis was carried out on the positive or negative change in the discount rate and the weighted income by 0.25% and 0.50%, respectively as well as a +5% sensitivity analysis, without significantly affecting the results of the reassessment. Based on the results, the present value exceeds the carrying value of the tangible fixed assets of Pier I, and therefore no related impairment was recorded (Note 4).

It is reported that the Company's Management had performed an impairment test of the recoverable amount of the assets of the Container Terminal business segment as at 31/12/2023, without recording any impairment also.

3. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed financial information, are consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations applicable for fiscal periods beginning at January 1, 2024.

New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations: Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024. The Company's evaluation of the effect of these new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations is as follows:

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments)

In January 2020, IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 clarifying the requirements for the classification of the liabilities as current and non - current. In particular, the amendments clarify that one of the criteria for the classification of a liability as non - current is the entity's right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date. The amendments clarify the meaning of a right to defer settlement, the requirement of this right to exist at the reporting date and that management intend in relation to the option to defer the settlement does not affect current or non -current classification.

Additionally, in October 2022, IASB issued an amendment providing clarifications for the classification of debt with covenants and requires new disclosures for non-current liabilities that are subject to future covenants.

IFRS 16 Leases: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (Amendments)

(amounts in Euro, unless stated otherwise)

The amendments are intended to clarify the requirements of accounting by a seller-lessee regarding measuring the lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transactions. An entity applies the amendment retrospectively in cases of sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of the initial application of IFRS 16.

IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments Disclosures (Amendments)

In May 2023, IASB issued the final amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 which address the disclosure requirements to be provided by entities in relation to their supplier finance arrangements.

The amendments had no impact on the Company's Interim Condensed Financial Statements.

New International financial reporting standards, amendments to Standards and interpretations not yet effective or not endorsed by the EU

The following New Standards, Amendments and Interpretations have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) but are not yet effective for annual periods starting 1st January 2024. Those related to the Company's activities are mentioned below. The Company does not intend to early adopt the following New IFRS, Amendments and Interpretations before their effective date.

IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability (Amendments). The amendments are effective for annual periods on or after 01 January 2025.

In August 2023, IASB published amendments to IAS 21 "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates" which require companies to provide more useful information in their financial statements when a currency is not exchangeable to another currency. The amendments introduce a definition of the "exchangeability" of a currency and provide guidance on how an entity should estimate a spot exchange rate in cases where a currency is not exchangeable. Also, additional disclosures are required in cases where an entity has estimated a spot exchange rate due to a lack of exchangeability. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7) The amendments are effective for annual periods on or after 01 January 2026.

The amendments clarify that a financial liability is derecognized on the "settlement date" and introduce an accounting policy choice to derecognize financial liabilities settled using an electronic payment system before the settlement date. Other clarifications include the classification of financial assets with ESG linked features via additional guidance on the assessment of contingent features. Clarifications have been made to non-recourse loans and contractually linked instruments.

The amendments require additional disclosures for investments in equity instruments that are measured at fair value with gains or losses presented in other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01.01.2027)

In April 2024 the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued a new standard, IFRS 18, which replaces IAS 1 'Presentation of Financial Statements'.

The primary objective of the Standard is to improve the assessment of a company's performance by increasing comparability in presentation in an entity's financial statements, particularly in the statement of profit or loss and in its notes to the financial statements. Specifically, the Standard will improve the quality of financial reporting due to a) the requirement of defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, ) the requirement to disclose certain 'non-GAAP' measures – management performance measures (MPMs)and c) the new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information. IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IFRS 19 "Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01.01.2027)

In May 2024 the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued a new standard, IFRS 19, which permits a subsidiary, without public accountability and that has a parent that produces consolidated financial statements available for public use that comply with IFRS Accounting Standards to provide reduced disclosures when applying IFRS Accounting Standards in its financial statements. An eligible subsidiary that applies IFRS 19 is required to apply the requirements in other IFRS Accounting Standards for recognition, measurement and presentation requirements but for disclosure requirements, it applies IFRS 19 instead of the disclosure requirements in other IFRS Accounting Standards, except in specified circumstances.

IFRS 19 is optional for subsidiaries that are eligible and sets out the disclosure requirements for subsidiaries that elect to apply it.

The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 with earlier application permitted. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

The Company's Management is in the process of assessing the impact of the standards or amendments of the standards on its financial position or performance, which is not expected to be significant for its financial statements.

Grand total 107,059,249.97 102,419,625.67

The increase in revenue for the current period compared to the same last year period is mainly due to the increase in revenue of storage by € 6,755,202.28, of loading and unloading by € 1,023,984.81 as well as of cruise services-main activity by € 814,020.87. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in revenue from various port services of € 870,619.59. It should be noted that the total revenues from the ship repair activity as a whole (Docking and Ship Repair Services) did not show significant fluctuations compared to the same last year period.

The increase in storage revenues is mainly due to the Car terminal sector, where despite the decrease in cargo in both domestic (30.06.2024: 79,401 vehicles, 30.06.2023: 82,269 vehicles) and in transshipment cargo (30.06.2024: 45.297 vehicles, 30.06.2023: 92.286 vehicles), the malfunction of the supply chain (both domestic and international), has resulted in a significant increase in the time spent by cargoes at PPA's berths. This exceptional situation enhanced significantly in the revenues of storage services, which amounted to approximately €10.1 million in the first half of 2024 (30.06.2023: €3.2 million), exceeding the loss from the decrease in other revenues, mainly from reduced handling levels, leading to the overall increase in the segment's revenues and in the Company's revenues of storage in general.

The increase in loading/unloading revenues was mainly due to the Container Terminal activities. Throughput at the Container Terminal, Pier I in the first half of 2024 reached 253,552 TEUs, showing a decrease of 7.9% compared to the same period in 2023 (275,214 TEUs). In particular, a decrease in transshipment cargo was recorded from 199,621 TEUs to 146,714 TEUs (-26.5%). However, domestic cargo (imports and exports) increased significantly by 41.3% (from 75,593 TEUs in 2023 to 106,837 TEUs in 2024).

PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY S.A Interim Condensed Financial Information for the period ended June 30, 2024 (amounts in Euro, unless stated otherwise)

This trend of domestic cargo is positively influenced by the growth of the greek economy and is the main reason behind the improved performance of the Container Terminal business unit and of revenues of loading/uploading respectively, as it is a significantly more profitable activity for the Company.

Cruise ship arrivals in the first half of 2024 stood at 288 compared to 272 in the previous year of 2023, recording an increase of 5.9%. The total number of passengers recorded an increase of 11.2% (549.442 passengers) compared to 2023 (494,164 passengers). In particular, compared to the first semester of 2023 there was an increase of 15.8% (315,061 passengers vs 272,148 passengers) in homeport passengers and 5.6% (234,381 passengers vs 222,016 passengers) in transit passengers.

The significant decrease in revenue from the concession Piers II + III is mainly due to the decrease in the variable consideration, which amounted to € 29,805,500.94 (30.06.2023: € 33,931,650.65).

In addition, it is noted that there is no seasonality in the Company's activities.

24. ANALYSIS OF EXPENSES

Expenses (cost of sales and administrative expenses) are analyzed as follows:

Payroll and employee related costs: The significant increase in payroll and employee related costs during the current year is due to the increase in the Company's workforce compared to the previous corresponding period year (30.06.2024: 1,075 employees, 30.06.2023: 1,011) as well as to the implementation of the new Collective Agreement of employees which came into effect within 1/8/2023 and provides for increases and additional benefits in their wages. There was also an increase in the provision for staff compensation (Note 16).

Third Party Services: A significant decrease in "Third party services" by € 1.0 million approximately, due to the decrease in the Company's electricity costs.

Various Expenses: The increase in various expenses is mainly due to the increase in promotion and advertising expenses by the amount of approximately € 0.3 million and of guard fee expenses by the amount of approximately € 0.3 million.

Cash settled share-based payments

The Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company's shareholders on September 23, 2019 approved the long-term incentive bonus plan, which is cash settled of a certain number of Incentive Units. Beneficiaries of the program are qualified members of the Board of Directors, senior executives and other key management and business executives who have a significant influence on the performance and uninterrupted operation of the Company.

The total number of Incentive Units in the Program is six hundred sixty-six thousand (666,000) and 80% of the Incentive Units, equal to five hundred thirty-two thousand eight hundred (532,800) Incentive Units, were allocated to the first Award date, and the remaining 20% of the total number of Incentive Units, namely one hundred thirty three thousand two hundred (133,200) Incentive Units, was reserved for beneficiaries that will join the Company or be promoted to beneficiary positions after the First Award Date and until 31 October 2020 Award date. Any key management personnel joining the Company after 31 October 2020 will not benefit from the Program.

The Board of Directors of the Company at the meeting of October 25, 2019 named the beneficiaries of 498,200 units at the first award date (October 8, 2019). The minutes of the Board of Directors of December 22, 2020 named the beneficiaries of the program including the new-coming qualified managers and/or promoted managers and canceling the Incentive Units of the beneficiaries who left the Company during the period between the grant date and 31 October 2020 along with the remaining unallocated units. Following this decision of the Board of Directors, there is no change in the Units of the program regarding the issuance of new units.

The Board of Directors of the Company at the meeting of December 6, 2021 decided the cancellation of 92,000 units. The Board of Directors of the Company at the meeting of December 22, 2022 decided the additional cancellation of 21,300 units. The Board of Directors of the Company, at its meeting on December 21, 2023, decided to cancel 48,000 units.

In more detail, the movement of the Program Units during the year and the final Units are listed in the table below:

Number of Units

Granted units
31.12.2023 329,900.00
Forfeited units
Granted units
30.06.2024 329,900.00

The amount payable to the beneficiaries is determined by the increase in the share price from the grant date (8/10/2019: € 22.53) and the redemption date. The amount payable is determined by the same parameters for the units granted in 2020. In addition, the redemption of the Incentive Units depends on the achievement of predetermined performance criteria of the Company and the Beneficiaries.

After fulfilling the Program's performance criteria over two years, the Incentive Units will be redeemed on specific dates on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th anniversary from the date of the first award with the possibility of being redeemed by the 7th anniversary by the above dates. The date of the first expiration, provided that no redemption, will take place after the seventh (7th) anniversary.

During the 4 th anniversary of the 1st award date (8/10/2021) due to non-fulfillment of the performance criteria of the Program, no unit was redeemed.

The fair value of the long-term incentive bonus plan as of December 2019 was determined using the Binomial model with the following data:

Share price at measurement date Εuro 21.85
Expected share voladility 25%
Dividend yield 2%

(d) Commitments for investments based on concession arrangement:

Pursuant to the provisions of the Concession Agreement signed between the Company and the Hellenic Republic dated on 24.06.2016, as ratified by Law 4404/2016 (Gov. Gazette A '126 / 08.07.2016), the Company has the contractual obligation for the implementation of investments in projects within the Port of Piraeus for the five years, August 2016 - August 2021 amounting to € 293.8 million. (First Investment Period) and for the five-year period August 2021–August 2026 amounting to € 56 million (Second Investment Period). The Concession Agreement included specific terms regarding the conditions for the imposition of penal clauses by the Greek State, in case of non-execution of mandatory investments as of August 2021. The possibility of imposing penalties under the Concession Agreement was assessed by Company Management during the previous period and was deemed remote, as the Company was able to prove that delays in the execution of mandatory investment projects were outside the Company's reasonable control and therefore fell within the exemption from the imposition of penalties in Article 16.5 (a) (i) of the Contract Concession. This assessment was verified with the agreement of 22/09/2021 Amendment the Concession Agreement between the Company and the Greek State as verified by Law 4838 / 1.10.2021 Government Gazette 180 A '. The specific amendment, among others, extends the duration of the First Investment Period, as well as extends the obligation to start and complete the Second Investment Period by five years respectively.

As at June 30, 2024, the mandatory investments comprise of:

  • completed mandatory investments of € 96.2 million (31.12.2023: € 75.1 million),
  • projects under construction € 54.4 million (31.12.2023: € 69.5 million)
  • as well as prepayment for a mandatory investment of € 9.6 million (31.12.2023: € 9.7).

(e) Contractual commitments with creditors: with regard to (d) above and other contracts signed, the outstanding balance of the contractual commitments with suppliers on significant infrastructure projects (construction, maintenance, improvements, etc.) at June 30, 2024 amounted to approximately € 129.2 million (December 31, 2023: approximately € 129.3 million) of which approximately € 68.4 million relates to the project "Passenger Port Expansion - South Zone - Phase A ' (December 31, 2023: approximately € 68.4 million).

(f) Special Contribution to Social Insurance Institute (IKA – TEAM): On November 7, 2011 the Company notified the management of IKA of its intention to stop paying the special contribution in favor of the supplementary fund of Company's employees, since after the merger of IKA with IKA – TEAM the management of the Company considered that there was no further obligation. From October 2013, the Company decided to cease the payments to those institutions. The Management of the Company believes that this contingent liability could be settled without significant adverse effects on its financial position.

32. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value: The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying statement of financial position for cash and cash equivalents, trade and other accounts receivable, prepayments, trade and other accounts payable and accrued and other current liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to the relatively shortterm maturity of these financial instruments.

The fair value of variable rate loans and borrowings approximate the amounts appearing in the statement of financial position.

The Company categorized its financial instruments carried at fair value in three categories, defined as follows:

Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) values from active financial markets for identical negotiable assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Other techniques for which all inflows that have a significant impact on the recorded fair value are identified or determined directly or indirectly from active financial markets.

Level 3: Techniques that use inflows that have a significant impact on the recorded fair value and are not based on quoted prices from active financial markets.

During the period, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and no transfers into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements.

As at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company held the following financial instruments:

30.06.2024 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Investment property 5,823,000.00 5,823,000.00
31.12.2023 Leve 1 Leve 2 Level 3 Total
Investment property 5,823,000.00 5,823,000.00

It should be noted that the above financial instruments are presented at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment, and the above reference is made only for the purposes of more complete disclosure.

The loans that the Company has are at variable interest rates; therefore, management believes that the carrying value at the end of the financial year is similar to the fair value.

33. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The most significant events after 30 June 2024 are the following:
