Outlook for the second half of 2022

Quest Group during the 6 months of 2022 improved all its financial figures from continuing activities. In particular:

On a consolidated basis, the figures from continuing activities were as follows:

  • Revenues amounted to €479 million, marking a 12% increase compared to the first half of 2021.
  • Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and investment results (EBITDA) amounted to €34,5 million, marking an increase of 9,5% as compared to the first half of 2021.
  • Earnings before tax (EBT) amounted to € 27,2 million against € 26 million in 2021, while earnings after tax and non-controlling interests (EAT after NCI) amounted to € 20,6 million against € 21 million last year.

In addition, Quest group during the 6 months of 2022 proceeded with significant investments which, together with the net borrowing undertaken for them, amounted to approximately € 13 million out of which the majority concerns growth investments (Growth Capex & New Investments) related to infrastructure facilities in the postal services industry.

Due to the significant growth of the Group's sales, a significant working capital of more than € 23 million was required (as has been the case in recent years every year in the middle of the year), while dividends of approximately € 61 million were also distributed. This combination resulted in an increase in net borrowing, which at the end of the 6 months of 2022 amounted to € -16 million compared to € -84 million at the end of 2021. Last, net cash flows from operating activities amounted to approximately € 6.1 million.

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

In particular, the course of the 6 months of 2022 and the outlook for the 12 months of 2022 per activity are broken down as follows:

IT Products (Info Quest Technologies, Quest on Line (you.gr), iSquare, iStorm, Clima Quest, FoQus)

  • o During the 6 months of 2022, total revenues amounted to € 322,3 million (15,8% increase compared to 2021), EBITDA profits amounted to € 11,5 million (higher by 7,9% compared to € 10,7 million in 2021), while earnings before taxes (EBT) amounted to €7,9 million (down by 4,1% against € 8,2 million in 2021). The deterioration of EBT is mainly due to the extraordinary allowance granted to personnel in the second half of 2022 and to the deterioration of the performance of the subsidiary Quest Online during the first 5 months of 2022 (during the same period of 2021 the performance of the subsidiary was favourably impacted by the fact that the physical stores were closed).
  • o For the 12 months of 2022, the current estimate foresees a continuation of revenue growth and a smaller increase in profits compared to the 1st half of the year. The increase is mainly due to the increase in the market share of Apple products and the development of new product categories such as air conditioners. At the same time, there are reservations regarding the impact of energy costs as well as of the geopolitical developments (mainly in Ukraine) on consumption and the economy.

IT Services (Unisystems group)

  • o Revenues in the 6 months of 2022 amounted to € 84,5 million (10,2% increase compared to the corresponding 6 months 2021), EBITDA profits amounted to € 8,4 million (increased by 34,8% compared to 2021) while earnings before taxes (EBT) amounted to € 7 million (up by 38,5% compared to 2021). The figures for 2022 also incorporate the figures of the company Intelli which contributed to the profitability of 2022 by approximately € 1,4 million.
  • o For 2022, the estimates foresee a continuation of the increase in revenues and profits but at a milder pace compared to the first half of the year. With regard to the increased cost of energy, the activity of Unisystems is estimated not to be particularly affected at the moment, however, there is a reservation regarding the impact of developments in Ukraine on the economy.

Postal Services (ACS Courier)

  • o During the 1st half of 2022, revenues amounted to € 66,6 million (about the same levels (-0.2%) compared to 2021), EBITDA profits amounted to € 10,8 million (higher by 1% compared to 2021), while earnings before taxes (EBT) amounted to € 9,1 million (about the same levels (+0.3%) compared to 2021). It is hereby noted that during the first half of 2021 and for approximately 4,5 months physical stores were closed resulting in greatly increased volumes of e-commerce shipments; this situation ceased for the rest of 2021 and for the entire period of 2022. The decrease of volumes in shipments was offset for the most part in 2022 by price increases due to fuel costs.
  • o With regard to 2022, current estimates predict a mild increase in revenue mainly from courier services (due to the growth of ecommerce) and similar or slightly lower profitability due to the fact that there were considerable extraordinary gains in 2021 that do not exist in 2022. The courier industry, which contributes more than 94% to the company's revenues, will show an increase (mainly in the 2nd half of 2022), while the postal sector will show a decrease due to the acceleration of the de-materialization of accounts. There are reservations about the impact of energy costs, as well as about developments in Ukraine on consumption and the economy in the autumn and winter of 2022.

Production of Electricity from Renewable Sources (Quest Energy)

  • o Revenues during the first semester of 2022 amounted to € 5 million, (increased by 7,9% compared to 2021), EBITDA profits amounted to € 4,1 million (increased by 5,5% versus 2021), while earnings before tax (EBT) amounted to €2,3 million (increased by 9,3% compared to 2021).
  • o The company, at the beginning of 2022 and during the second half of the year continued its growth and increased its installed base and now the total installed capacity of the stations in operation reaches 33,5 MW, while for the entire year a mild growth across all company figures is estimated. Specific activity is not expected to be influenced by the rise of energy costs.

Other activities

o Sales of other activities in the 6 months of 2022 amounted to € 0,3 million, EBT profits amounted to € 0,9 million (compared to sales of € 0,2 million and profits of € 1,5 million in the corresponding period of 2021). The 2021 earnings had been positively affected by approximately € 1,9 million mainly from the sale of the company's participation in TEKA Systems.

In summary, Quest Group in the 6 months of 2022:

  • o Achieved sales growth of +12,2% (€ 479 million) from continuing activities.
  • o Presented an improvement in profitability from continuing activities, EBITDA (+9,5%) and EBT (+4,7%).
  • o Expanded its activities mainly in the field of air conditioning, which is expected to grow in the future due to climate change.
  • o Distributed to its shareholders dividends from retained earnings of previous years amounting to € 0,57 gross sum per share (approximately € 61 million in cash).

for the period ended 30 June 2022

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

  • o Implemented significant investments related mainly to the development of the new ACS facilities and other infrastructures amounting to approximately € 13 million.
  • o Continued and expanded its actions regarding the training and development of its personnel and executives alongside their effective goal setting.

Quest Group continues to implement its business plans having as key priority the increase of revenues, the reduction /downsizing of operating costs, the limitation of risks with controlled loan exposure and limitation of credit risk, and the generation and gradual improvement of positive operating cash flows.

The main goals and priorities of Quest Group for 2022 considering the current conditions are:

  • o To continue the organic growth of all areas of activity.
  • o To ensure sufficient cash liquidity and to maintain positive operating cash flows.
  • o To continue planned investments to support the further development of its operations in areas that will have greater potential in the future, such as e-commerce.
  • o To look for further growth through acquisitions.

Current estimates for the entire 2022 for figures from continuing activities include a positive course for sales, while regarding EBITDA and EBT operating profits such figures are estimated to stand close to last year's levels. The estimate has been made on the assumption that there will be no deterioration on the cost of energy, of primary goods and of consumption. However, there is concern and reservation around the potential impact of rising energy costs and of the military conflict in Ukraine on the economy and the consumption.

Considering the economic conditions, as well as the prospects of Greece, the main goals of the Group Management for 2022, per branch of activity/subsidiary company are as follows:

Parent Company Quest Holdings

For 2022, the main objective of the Company is to maintain a lean and efficient operating model with limited operating costs for the Group's consolidated figures, to re-evaluate and improve the Group's structure, to maintain as far as possible the organic figures of its subsidiaries in order for them to achieve their goals, as well as to implement their strategic plans and finally to look for new investment opportunities in the same or new sectors with growth prospects and/or with higher profit margins.

2022 is also the first year of implementation of the Group's new five-year plan, which foresees significant growth and approximately doubling of figures by the end of 2026 in combination with significant development investments in the following years which, however, due to the current conditions with energy costs, may delay their implementation.

Α. Product Trade

Info Quest Technologies S.M.S.A.

(Distribution of Products and IT Solutions)

In the first half of 2022, Info Quest Technologies achieved the goals it had set, facing unprecedented business challenges (significant increases in the cost of energy, transportation, production, increase in inflation, and decrease in consumer spending).

At the same time, the malfunction of the global supply chain resulted in a significant lack of products worldwide, while the change in the dollar - euro exchange rate brought about significant cost changes.

At the same time, the digital transformation of the state, organizations, and businesses and the expected plans for the utilization of the resources of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), create prospects, requiring at the same time significant organization and preparation, in order for the company to respond in the best way to the requests.

Business Continuity and seamless market support

As already mentioned, the proper management of the supply of goods in an extremely unfavourable environment was particularly important during the reporting period. Accordingly, the optimal management of all financial parameters, given the new market conditions, emerged as of utmost importance. To the greatest extent possible the objective was achieved and product sufficiency was ensured, giving the company a competitive advantage. At the same time, new services and applications (Apps) were developed for customer service in the new digital environment according to RRF's programmes.

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

The company's flagship investment in the new Logistics Centre in Aspropyrgos, Attica continued without interruption. The relocation of the first activities was successfully carried out in June 2022. The relocation is expected to be completed gradually, with the centre being fully operational in Autumn 2022, resulting in significant benefits for the company.

ESG Strategy

Taking into account the frequency of intense phenomena as a result of the climate crisis (such as large-scale wild fires, or floods) the company has redefined and monitors more closely the risks related to climate change that may affect its operation. At the same time, it participated in the formulation of the Group's new ESG Strategy, committing to objectives related to the Environment, Society and Corporate Governance.

As a result of the above, during the 1st Semester of 2022 Info Quest Technologies:

  • Presented sales increase by +7,1% (vs H1/2021), in a declining market
  • Presented increase in gross profitability by +12% (vs H1/2021)
  • Raised nil provision for impairment on receivables in comparison to 2021 and the DSO was at 58,2 days versus 70,7 in June 2021
  • Received major awards from partners such as Cisco, Dell and Red Hat for its performance.

It is noted that in the 1st half of 2022, the company's revenues do not include the sales of POCO Smartphones, which from the 2nd half of 2021 are carried out by the Group's independent company, FoQus, which operates as the exclusive representative of POCO smartphones, products also produced by Xiaomi. During the first half of 2022 FoQus sales amounted to € 6,27 m.

In more detail by sector of activity:

  • In the Information Technology and Communications Products (Volume Business) sector, sales showed a decrease of -8.7% compared to the previous year, as a result of the decrease in consumer spending, the absence of device subsidy schemes, which are expected in the second half, and the lack of inventory in certain product categories, in a market which according to analysts showed a drop of -10%. Sales in the field of white appliances were strengthened, the network of partners was expanded and the conditions/collaborations were created for the development of new product lines in areas related to the circular economy, energy management and smart home, in accordance with the company's 5-year business plan.
  • In the Mobility sector, the company continued its good course, with Xiaomi products as a key pillar of development, with sales increased by +7.6% compared to last year (including FoQus). Xiaomi Smartphones have consolidated their position in the first two places in the Greek market with a market share of 28,7% in the 5 months 2022, presenting a wide range of 5G devices for all networks. Xiaomi's ecosystem of smart connected appliances showed a significant sales growth of +19% (vs LY) with products such as the electric scooter and the robotic vacuum cleaner, and the wearables leading the respective categories. Sales in Cyprus and Malta showed a particularly large increase of +34% (vs LY). 2 stores have been added to the chain of Xiaomi Stores, with the one in the River West Mall being the first in the Central and Eastern Europe region to implement Xiaomi's new "IoT concept". During this semester the creation of infrastructure and a network of partners continued for the distribution of Segway e-motorcycles, which are the company's proposal in the field of electric mobility.
  • The strategic activity of Cloud showed a steady increase of +71% (vs LY) with total sales from Cloud services & Value Added Products showing an increase of +28% (vs LY). The company has invested significantly in strengthening its know-how and developing solutions and services in Microsoft and DocuSign technologies. Particularly important was the smooth integration of the new subsidiary Team Candi, with the aim of creating new value-added solutions and preparing the company and its partners with solutions and services, aiming to utilize RRF's resources. The company's partnership with very important organizations (Banks, Telco Operators and Software Houses) was also significant for a common approach and market support.

2022 Outlook

Info Quest Technologies, has shown an excellent course in recent years, with the continuous growth in all areas of its focus, the transformation of its business model and excellent financial results, the tripling (3X) of its turnover in the last 5 years and the achievement of the objectives of its business plan significantly earlier.

The second half of 2022 is expected to be particularly difficult, with unprecedented conditions in the economy and great uncertainty. Of particular concern is the impact on the market of the deterioration of key parameters of the economy due to the increase in the cost of energy and basic goods, the fluctuation of the euro-dollar exchange rate which affects the cost of imported products, and clearly the decline in the purchasing power of consumers which leads to drop in demand.

In this environment, Info Quest Technologies aims to maintain its leading position in the new era of digital transition. Having started the implementation of its new 5-year business plan, it is preparing to contribute to the best possible utilization of the resources of the Greece 2.0 Plan for the digital upgrading of the country, it is developing new services, and it continues to carefully monitor developments and evaluate new opportunities.

In the field of technology products and services, it is preparing to better serve the market in the context of its object, in the utilization of the RRF resources and in the important digital transformation projects of the state and also of the business market by strengthening its presence and positioning in new categories (always connected laptops, smart devices, new cloud services, household electrical appliances, air conditioning). It evaluates the entry into the circular economy model (refurbished computer systems), energy storage and the transition to a greener everyday life. At the same time, it invests in the Cloud, simultaneously pursuing the further development of the specialized subsidiary Team Candi, by designing new solutions and services.

Mobility & Internet of Things

In the area of mobility, Xiaomi will seek to remain among the top brands in the market by focusing on the availability of devices with competitive features at affordable prices, in a market that is expected according to indications to be declining. As for POCO products, the new models of the two brands expected in the last quarter of the year will play an important role in achieving the goal. At the same time, it is expected to maintain its leading position in the field of home smart devices. The main pillars of development will be the new products for the smart home, health and wellness and micro mobility from the Xiaomi ecosystem. It continues the development of online sales channels, the development of the chain of Authorized Xiaomi Stores and specialized Mi Zones in large retail chains, as well as the strengthening of sales abroad, with the main markets being Cyprus and Malta. At the same time, it expects to further expand its sales in electric mobility with a series of specialized products (e-Mobility).

In conclusion, although the uncertainty in the economy is quite large, the company's Management believes that the constant monitoring of developments, the systematic preparation for accession to new sectors and the targeted investments, will help the company to reduce to the fullest any negative effects from the adverse environment.

Quest Online S.M.S.A.

(e-commerce www.you.gr)

The Covid-19 pandemic brought about significant changes, among other things, in consumer behaviour accelerating the faster penetration of e-commerce in the Greek market, given that during extensive periods in the previous year when physical stores were closed, online shopping was the only option for the consumers.

You.gr, the online store of the Quest Group, is one of the largest and most reliable purely online stores with 98% of its customers saying that they are very satisfied with the store and its services.

In the first half of 2022, given that physical stores were open throughout this period and consumer spending was reduced due to the significant effects on the economy (inflation, energy costs, etc.), You.gr presented a turnover of €15,5 million, reduced by 18% (vs LY). The decrease in sales was significantly stronger in the 2nd quarter, where economic issues and insecurity for consumers intensified.

Quest OnLine has continued to implement significant investments in systems and infrastructure, offering multiple choices to consumers, in a safe, modern and friendly online shopping environment.

At the same time, commencing the implementation of its 5-year business plan for the period 2022 – 2026 the company:

Clima Quest S.A.S.A.

(Gree Air Conditioning)

During the 1st half of 2022, Clima Quest, exclusive distributor of Gree in Greece, the largest manufacturer of air conditioning systems worldwide, presented a turnover of € 3,9 million, and EBT €142,2 thousand. The company's sales were negatively affected by the delay in the announced air conditioner replacement programme, which finally started in the second half. The company, which is in its 2nd year of operation, focused on the further development of its partner network, both in terms of the channel of specialized installers, which makes up 80% of its sales, and the large retailers that serve the consumer market.

2022 Outlook

Clima Quest will continue its growth course, with the aim of further establishing itself in the market. Given the investment in know-how, the emphasis on innovation given by the manufacturer, the wide range of products, the orientation towards the availability of "greener" solutions for both the domestic and the professional market, the company is prepared to make the most of all opportunities as well as the state programs and schemes, such as the "RECYCLING – CHANGING HOME DEVICES" & "New Save" programmes.

iSquare S.Α.

(Apple Products)

2022 Outlook

The first half of 2022 was a period full of obstacles, difficulties and challenges. The continuation of the pandemic in combination with the war in Ukraine and the general global instability brought about a series of challenges which directly and indirectly affect the retail market. Energy crisis, problems in the production of raw materials, delays in distribution networks and deliveries, high inflation, high prices, political instability and uncertainty in several European states, create an explosive "cocktail" of factors that inhibit and depress the market in general.

When it comes to the retail technology market in the first half of 2022, we saw a recession in almost all the categories in which the company operates. According to GFK's six-monthly report and analysis, there is a slight decline in smartphones (-5%) and a strong drop in computers (-30%) and tablets (-60%), a fact that adds to the significantly more limited action of the Digital Care this year compared to the corresponding period in 2021. On the positive side, in the first half of 2022 retail stores were open in contrast to 2021 when the first four months of the year stores remained closed due to the pandemic.

In this challenging and difficult first half of 2022, iSquare managed to cope in the best way possible and continued its excellent course with strong double-digit sales growth in all product categories. More specifically, in the first half of 2022, the company presented a sales increase of 24% and exceeded € 144 million in sales, gaining a significant share in all the product categories in which it operates.

For the second half of 2022, the company is cautiously optimistic despite the ongoing adversities and challenges. 2022 is predicted to be again a positive year with further sales growth. Moreover, the company believes that in the second half of the year there will be an improvement in the economic and consumer climate, due to the positive course of tourism that is already recorded and will significantly help in this direction. Strong obstacles to improvement remain the problems in the supply chain with product revaluations and lack of basic raw materials, the Euro-Dollar exchange rate, the pandemic which continues (albeit at a milder pace), the energy crisis with the explosive price increase and finally the war in Ukraine which increases uncertainty in Europe and the rest of the world. Generally, revaluations are expected in the company's products during the second half of the year, which may negatively affect sales.

Nevertheless, the company will continue its investment plan by upgrading the points of sale in the retail stores and training the salesperson with the aim of the overall upgrade of the Apple experience for the consumers. In Cyprus, it will continue to expand its network through authorized resellers and thus strengthen its presence on the island, which will further strengthen iSquare's sales in Cyprus. Finally, as every year, new innovative Apple products are expected in the 2nd half of the year, which will further boost iSquare's sales.

In conclusion regarding iSquare and in general the Apple ecosystem in Greece and Cyprus, it is predicted that in the second half of the year and therefore for the whole of 2022, the company will have a positive year with further growth of all its figures both in terms of sales, as well as strengthening against the competition, increasing market shares and increasing profitability.

iStorm S.Α.

(Apple Retail Stores - Apple Premium Reseller)

2022 Outlook

iStorm SA (www.istorm.gr) has been active in the market since 2010 and aims to develop and operate pilot stores exclusively for Apple products (Apple Premium Reseller - APR). iStorm stores offer the best Apple ecosystem experience by stocking all Apple products, as well as a wide variety of peripherals and accessories, top-notch service and technical support, free tutorials and knowledgeable staff. Today there are eleven (11) iStorm stores in total. Eight (8) stores operate in Greece, of which four (4) are in Athens, two (2) in Thessaloniki, one (1) in Rhodes and one (1) in Patras. There are three (3) stores in Cyprus, one (1) in the center of Nicosia, one (1) in the Limassol marina and one (1) in the Metropolis Mall in Larnaca.

The first half of 2022 was a period full of obstacles, difficulties and challenges. The continuation of the pandemic, combined with the war in Ukraine and the general global instability, brought about a series of challenges that directly and indirectly affect the retail market. Energy crisis, problems in the production of raw materials, delays in distribution networks and deliveries, high inflation, high prices, political instability and uncertainty in several European states, create an explosive "cocktail" of factors that inhibit and depress the market in general. On the plus side, during the first half of 2022 the stores were open, unlike 2021 when the first four months of the year the stores remained closed due to the pandemic. This greatly helped the iStorm chain to welcome much more people and offer the best Apple experience to its customers and thus boost its sales and figures.

In this challenging and difficult first half of 2022, iStorm achieved extremely high growth rates with sales increasing by 43%. Physical stores were the key driver of growth in the first half of 2022 (due to comparison with closed stores in the first quarter of 2021). Moreover, the new store in Larnaca, Cyprus, which did not exist in the corresponding period last year, also contributes to the first half of 2022. Almost all product categories had strong double-digit growth. At the same time, the company opened one more store (its eleventh) on 21 June in the centre of Patras, which the company believes will contribute accordingly to its excellent course so far.

For the second half of 2022, it is estimated that the particularly positive course recorded during the first half will continue with further growth at all levels. iStorm intends to continue investing in both physical stores and its online store as well as in new services it plans to launch in the coming months, which will further enhance the customer experience.

The company will continue during the second half of the year, its investment plan with the opening of two (2) new stores in Greece and Cyprus. It is also designing new innovative services to further improve its customers' experience, and to make its products more accessible by providing real value. At the same time, the large investment in the implementation of the installation and operation of the company's central CRM has already commenced and will continue in 2022. This will significantly help in terms of commerce and will improve customer service and follow-up. Moreover, iStorm will continue to further improve and strengthen its online store and call centre, as alternative sales, contact and customer support channels.

In conclusion, for the second half of 2022, the excellent course is expected to continue with a double-digit positive sign in the company's sales as well as with new stores and services. Thus, overall, the year 2022 is expected to be a year of strong investments that will improve the company's productivity and the services provided to its customers, a year of further expansion with new stores, of strengthening the online store, and of generally improving the experience. All this will mean further development of iStorm and there is cautious optimism about its results.

B. ΙT Solutions Sector

Unisystems S.Α.

(Integrated Solutions and IT & Telecommunication Services)

for the period ended 30 June 2022

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

In the 1st half of 2022 Unisystems showed a 9% increase in its turnover compared to the corresponding half of 2021 (from € 77,7 million to € 84,6 million). Revenue from activities abroad showed an increase of 17,8%; thus, from € 36,6 million in the 1st half of 2021 it increased to € 43,2 million in the corresponding half of 2022. Revenue from activities abroad constitutes 51% of the company's total revenue and 58% of revenue from services. Domestic sales stood at the same levels from € 41 million in the 1st half of 2021 to €41,4 million in the corresponding period of 2022.

There was also a significant increase in the profitability of the company along all lines (gross margin, EBITDA, EBIT, EBT) both in absolute numbers and in percentage growth. As in the previous years, the management of the company emphasized the development of the company and the increase of personnel in the fields of services and software, as little as possible use of debt financing and the generation of positive cash flows. Expansion into foreign markets was the company's main area of focus.

Significant prospects also appear in the domestic IT market in both the private and public sectors. Of particular importance are the foreseen funds from the Recovery Fund and the new Partnership Agreement for the Development Framework (ESPA). The company has already contracted important public projects of the Recovery Fund and participates with an increased probability of award in large IT projects of the Public Sector. These projects will start generating revenue and profitability in the near future.

The total unexecuted part of contracted projects amounts to € 460 million and constitutes an important factor in the sustainability of the company in the coming years.

The company's Management has focused its attention on improving the processes of software development, quality and management of complex projects. Particular emphasis is placed on the implementation of the company's 5-year strategic development plan so as to transform it into a key strategic partner for the digital transformation of its customers.

Special emphasis has also been put on the development of innovation and Research and Development (R&D). In the 1st half of 2022, the company participated in 60 new research proposals for funding of a total amount of € 25 million for the company. In the same period, it received funding approval for 10 new proposals amounting in total to € 1,8 million for the company.

The company continues to seek new investment opportunities in companies that develop technology solutions and software that are complementary to Uni Systems' operations. The recent investments in Intelli Solutions are considered particularly satisfactory in terms of sales and profitability, but also in terms of the synergies created in both the Public and Private Sectors.

For the rest of the fiscal year 2022, the continuation of the good course of the 1st semester in terms of sales and profitability, the continuation of the expansion of sales abroad, the generation of positive cash flows and an increase in the total volume of outstanding contracts (project bookings) are foreseen.

C. Sector of Electronic transactions/payments (discontinued operations)

Cardlink One S.Α.

(Provision of POS terminal network services)

Following the agreement with Worldline and based on the IFRS, the activity is characterized as "discontinued" and has ceased to be consolidated in the Group's results as from April 1, 2022.

D. Postal Services Sector

ACS

(Postal Services)

6-month 2022 Report

The company during the first 6 months of 2022, taking into account the fact that for most of the corresponding 6 months of 2021 the physical stores were closed due to the pandemic, had an overall positive course, with its total revenues standing at the same levels as in 2021. In particular courier revenues despite a decrease in volumes by approximately 10% showed growth of approximately 1% which is due to price adjustments applied by the company from the beginning of 2022. Revenue from postal services showed a decrease of 27,5% compared to the previous year due to the dematerialization of accounts and documents but also the loss of the EYDAP (Public Water Corporation) accounts project, while the activity of postal services in 2022 now concerns only 4,4% of total revenues. The operating EBITDA profits of the company amounted to € 10,7 million in 2022 (at approximately the same levels as in 2021) while the EBT amounted to € 9,1 million (at approximately the same levels as in 2021). The maintenance of profits despite the

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

significant increase in expenses due to fuel is due to the price increase implemented at the beginning of the year, which absorbed the increased expenses.

At the same time, the company proceeded to upgrade its IT infrastructure and new solutions for its customers, as well as to develop a network of points to better serve the needs of e-commerce customers with the aim of increasing its share in this market by providing new solutions such as ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) and live tracking during the last hour prior to delivery. In 2022, the company continued to invest in the completion of its new modern facility in Attica, which was put into full operation at the end of the first half of 2022. Said facility is estimated to provide the company with new capabilities and increased capacity and allow it to operate more productively but also to increase its market shares in the coming years.

2022 Outlook

For the 2nd half and 12 months of 2022, ACS bases its revenue growth mainly on courier services which in the second half of the year are expected to possibly show double-digit growth compared to 2021. The postal market remains a declining market due to the gradual substitution of posts by electronic communications, where a significant double-digit decrease in volume is expected due to the acceleration of the use of e-bills. Therefore, now the company's strategy due to the declining market is mainly defensive and the impact is quite limited given that the activity in question contributed less than 5% to the company's revenue in 2022.

For the entire year 2022, a mild increase in revenue is estimated mainly due to courier services (due to e-commerce) as well as marginally lower profitability due to the increased expenses from the increase in fuel. At the same time, a further normalization of operating expenses is estimated which, in combination with the more efficient operation of the new facilities, will, at a later stage, help strengthen profitability. There are concerns about the impact of high energy costs and developments in Ukraine on consumption and the economy.

Ε. Sector of Renewable Energy Sources and other activities (Quest Holding)

Quest Energy S.Α.

(Wind and solar farms)

The company, after the completion of acquisitions of photovoltaic power stations with a total capacity of 2 MW during the first half of 2022, further increased its portfolio power which now amounts to 30,0MW.

The company's main strategic objective for the second half of 2022 is to further increase the installed capacity of its operating stations, through the acquisition of operating photovoltaic power stations, which meet defined technical and economic criteria.

At the same time, the company, in addition to the evaluation of investments in electricity production plants, with the use of Renewable sources, also evaluates investment opportunities in sectors, such as:

  • The production of energy carriers using renewable sources (e.g. Hydrogen)
  • The connections between the mainland and insular Greece
  • Electrification
  • Energy saving
  • The provision of balancing services
  • The storage of electricity
  • The smart networks that will promote safety, reliability, flexibility and meritocracy of the country's electricity system.

Following this, the Company holds 472.411 own shares or 0,4406% of the total outstanding shares.

C) Risk factors for the 2nd half of 2022

Financial risks

The Group is exposed to financial risks, such as market risks (changes in exchange rates, interest rates, market prices), credit risks and liquidity risks. The Group's general risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of the financial markets and seeks to minimize its potential negative impact on the Group's financial performance.

Risk management is carried out by the Group's central financial department, which operates under specific rules approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors provides directives and guidance on general risk management as well as specific directives for managing specific risks, such as currency risk, interest rate risk and credit risk.

(a) Credit risk

The Group has established and applies credit control procedures, aiming at the minimization of bad debt and immediate coverage of requirements with securities. Commercial risk across the Group is relatively low, since sales are dispersed among a large number of customers. Wholesales are mainly made to customers with an assessed credit history. The Credit Control Department of each Group company sets credit limits for each customer and applies certain conditions on sales and payments. Where possible, physical, or other collateral is requested.

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is kept at a low level by having adequate cash and by using adequate credit limits with the collaborating banks.

(c) Capital risk

The Group's capital management goal is to ensure its ability to continue its business and maintain an ideal capital structure to reduce capital costs. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may increase or decrease borrowing, issue or repurchase shares, adjust the amount of dividends to shareholders or return capital to shareholders.

i) Interest risk

The Group holds no significant interest-bearing items, so operating revenue and cash flows are substantially independent of changes in interest rates. Group loans have been issued with variable interest rates, which can be changed to fixed, or remain variable, depending on market conditions. Interest rate risk mainly stems from long term loans. Variable rate loans expose the Group to cash flow risks. Fixed rate loans expose the Group to the risk of fair value changes.

ii) Currency risk

The Group operates in Europe and consequently a major part of the Group's transactions is carried out in Euros. Nevertheless, a part of the Group's purchases of goods is carried out in US Dollar. The prompt payment of these trade payables significantly decreases the exchange rate risk. The Group purchases foreign currency in advance as required and generally avoids executing currency future contracts with external parties.

for the period ended 30 June 2022

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

Non-financial risks

In addition to financial risks, the Group focuses on non-financial risks regarding certain issues that have been identified as substantial in the context of sustainable development. These issues relate to full compliance with legislation and the implementation of corporate governance policies, human resources, environmental impact of corporate activity, the supply chain and the growth of the companies within the market.

(a) Risk for the security of personal data

Companies face security risks regarding the security of their systems and infrastructure, which could affect the integrity and security of any information they manage, such as personal data of customers, associates or employees, and confidential corporate information.

The Company collects, stores and uses data in its normal course of business and protects them against based on the data protection legislation.

On April 27th, 2016, the European Parliament and the European Council adopted the Data Protection Regulation (EU) (2016/679) ("Data Protection Regulation"). The Data Protection Regulation includes extensive obligations for companies in relation to procedures and mechanisms for the processing of personal data and rights of data subjects, and in cases of breach, the Supervisory Authorities are allowed to impose fines of up to 4% of the Group's annual global turnover (or €20 million, whichever is greater). The Data Protection Regulation entered into force on May 25th, 2018 after a transitional period of two years.

To limit the risks involved, in 2018, the Group set up the Data Protection Directorate that develops all the necessary policies and procedures, oversees their implementation, designs new security systems and infrastructures and evaluates their effectiveness and compliance with the regulatory framework for the protection of personal data.

(b) Determination of fair values

The fair value of financial assets traded in active markets (stock exchanges), such as derivatives, shares, bonds, and mutual funds, is determined by quoted market prices at the balance sheet date.

The fair value of financial assets not trading in active markets is determined using valuation techniques and assumptions based on market data at the balance sheet date.

The nominal value of trade receivables less the applicable provision is estimated to approximate their fair value. The fair values of financial liabilities for the purpose of their disclosure in the financial statements are calculated based on the present value of future cash flows arising from certain contracts using the current interest rate available to the Group for the use of similar financial instruments.

(c) Technological changes

The Group operates among others, in the sectors of IT products and services, in which there are rapid technological advances. As a result, the Group competes based on its ability to offer to its customers competitive integrated solutions that provide desired product and services features. In addition, Group's product portfolios may quickly become outdated, or Group's market share may quickly erode. Efforts to balance the mix of products and services to optimize profitability, liquidity, and growth also may put pressure on Group's industry position. The Group through its long experience and deep knowledge closely monitors technological developments and adapts its products and services accordingly.

(d) Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 health crisis had led the global economy into a period of uncertainty and instability. The uncertainty that prevailed in the capital markets worldwide for two years since the outbreak of the pandemic seems to be receding as population vaccinations intensify and trading activity is maintained at satisfactory levels. We believe that from the second half of 2022 there will be an even greater normalization of the situation and a gradual return to normality. The Group management closely monitors the developments and estimate that there will be no material impact on the market sectors in which it operates. The Group maintains its liquidity at satisfactory levels with total cash and financing lines largely exceeding its operating needs.

(e) Impact of the energy crisis

The global energy crisis that began in 2021 is characterized by the continued lack of energy around the world, but also by the sharp increase in its prices, affecting countries such as the United Kingdom, China and, among others, the European Union. Greece is experiencing a significant price increase in all forms of energy. Group management monitors the developments on a continuous basis so as to take all the necessary measures that may be needed. However, there is always the possibility that the energy crisis will bring further negative consequences to the global economy for 2022 and therefore negatively affect the Group's activities by increasing the operating costs of the companies, but also by reducing the demand for their products and services due to the limitation of purchasing

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

power of consumers. Each of these developments could have an impact on the financial results of 2022. But the experience so far from the management of the crisis during the fiscal year 2021, makes the Group Management relatively optimistic about the achievement of the goals set for 2022.

(f) Military conflict in Ukraine

The war between Russia and Ukraine is having a negative effect on the entire global economic activity, as Europe gets almost 40% of its natural gas and 25% of its oil supplies from Russia and is therefore facing new price increases. In addition, Russia is the largest supplier of wheat in the world, and together with Ukraine, they account for almost 1/4 of the total world exports. As it has been made clear from the pandemic, small disruptions (of economic activity) in one region can cause unrest in places far away. The Group operates within the European Union and in sectors of activity that do not have a direct geographical connection to the events in Ukraine, however, geopolitical uncertainty has led to higher inflation and increased volatility in the energy market affecting the general economic environment, conditions which are likely to continue. In addition, there is an increased risk of disruptions in the global supply chain. Management constantly assesses the potential impact of developments on the activities of the Group's companies.

Independent Auditor's Report on Review of Condensed Interim Financial Information

(Translated from the original in Greek)

To the Shareholders of Quest Holdings S.A.

Report on the Review of Condensed Interim Financial Information

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim standalone and consolidated condensed Statement of Financial Position of Quest Holdings S.A. (the "Company") as at 30 June 2022 and the related standalone and consolidated 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 condensed 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 2022 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 sixmonth Financial Report of the Board of Directors as defined in articles 5 and 5a of L. 3556/2007 in relation to the accompanying condensed interim financial information.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies

3.1 Preparation framework of the financial information

This interim financial information covers the six-month period ended June 30th, 2022 and has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

KINIGOS S.A.

The accounting policies used in the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information are the same as the accounting policies that were used by the Company and the Group for the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2021.

The interim financial information must be considered in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2021, which are available on the Group's web site at the address www.quest.gr.

The interim condensed financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, and financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies (Note 5). Moreover, it requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of preparation of the financial information and the reported income and expense amounts during the reporting period. Although these estimates and judgments are based on the best possible knowledge of the Management with respect to the current conditions and activities, the actual results can eventually differ from these estimates.

Differences between amounts presented in the financial statements and corresponding amounts in the notes results from rounding differences.

The Group and the Company fulfill their needs for working capital through cash flows generated, including bank lending.

Current economic conditions continue to limit the demand for the Group's and Company's products, as well as their liquidity for the foreseeable future.

The Group and the Company, taking into account possible changes in their business performance, create a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to seamlessly continue their business operations in the near future.

Therefore, the Group and the Company continue to adopt the "going concern" principle during the preparation of the separate and consolidated financial statements for the period from January 1st to June 30th, 2022 on the basis of the strong financial performance achieved during the same period and the positive future prospects.

3.2 New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations

New Standards, Interpretations, Revisions and Amendments to existing Standards that have entered into force and have been adopted by the European Union

The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments to Standards have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), have been adopted by the European Union and their application is mandatory from 01/01/2022 or later.

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

In May 2020, the IASB issued a series of amendments, including limited-purpose amendments to three standards, as well as the Board's Annual Improvements. Those amendments clarify the wording of the Standards or correct minor consequences, omissions or conflicts between the requirements of the Standards. More specifically:

  • The amendments to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" update a reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual Framework of Financial Reporting without modifying the accounting requirements relating to business combinations.
  • The amendments to IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment" prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of fixed assets amounts received from the sale of items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, the company recognizes these sales proceeds and related costs in the Income Statement.
  • The amendments to IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" specify the costs that an entity should include when assessing whether a contract is loss-making.
  • The Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2018-2020 Cycle make minor amendments to IFRS 1 "First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards", IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments", IAS 41 "Agriculture" and the Explanatory Examples accompanying IFRS 16 "Leases".

The above had no impact on the Group's or the Company's Financial Statements.

New Standards, Interpretations and Amendments to existing Standards that have not yet entered into force or been adopted by the European Union

The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments to Standards have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) but are either not yet effective or have not yet been adopted by the European Union.

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

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

In May 2017, the IASB issued a new standard, IFRS 17, which replaces an interim standard, IFRS 4. The purpose of the IASB project was to develop a single principle-based standard for the accounting treatment of all types of insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts, held by an entity. A single principles-based standard will enhance the comparability of financial reporting between entities, jurisdictions and capital markets. IFRS 17 sets out the requirements that an entity should apply to the financial information related to insurance contracts that it issues and reinsurance contracts that it holds.

In addition, in June 2020, the IASB issued amendments, but these do not affect the fundamental principles introduced when IFRS 17 was originally issued. The amendments are designed to reduce costs by simplifying certain requirements of the Standard, to result in more easily explained financial performance, and to ease the transition, while providing additional assistance to reduce the effort required during the first implementation of the Standard. This amendment has not yet been adopted by the European Union.

The adoption of the above is not expected to have a significant impact on the Financial Statements of the Company and the Group.

Amendments to IAS 1 "Classification of Liabilities as Current or Long-Term" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2023)

In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 that affect the presentation requirements for liabilities. Specifically, the amendments clarify one of the criteria for classifying a liability as non-current, the requirement for an entity to have the right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. The amendments include: (a) clarification that an entity's right to defer settlement should exist at the reporting date; (b) clarification that the classification of the liability is not affected by management's intentions or expectations regarding the exercise of the right to defer settlement; (c) explanation on how lending conditions affect classification; and (d) clarification of the requirements regarding the classification of liabilities of an entity that are to be or may be settled through the issuance of own equity securities. In addition, in July 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to clarify the classification of debt liabilities with financial covenants, which provides for a one-year deferral of the effective date of the originally issued amendment to IAS 1. The Group will consider the impact of all of the above on its Financial Statements, although they are not expected to have any effect. These have not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" and IFRS Practice Statement 2 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2023)

In February 2021, the IASB issued limited purpose amendments relating to disclosures of accounting policies. The purpose of the amendments is to improve disclosures of accounting policies to provide more useful information to investors and other users of the financial statements. In particular, the amendments require disclosure of significant information about accounting policies, rather than disclosure of significant accounting policies. The Group will consider the impact of all of the above on its Financial Statements, although they are not expected to have any effect.

Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2023)

In February 2021, the IASB issued limited purpose amendments that clarify the difference between a change in accounting estimate and a change in accounting policy. This distinction is important because a change in accounting estimate is applied without retrospective effect and only to future transactions and other future events, unlike a change in accounting policy that is retrospective and applies to past transactions and other past events. The Group will consider the impact of all of the above on its Financial Statements, although they are not expected to have any effect.

Amendments to IAS 12 "Income Taxes: Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2023)

In May 2021, the IASB issued targeted amendments to IAS 12 to specify how entities should treat deferred tax arising from transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations - transactions for which entities recognize both a asset and a liability. In certain circumstances, entities are exempt from recognizing deferred tax when they recognize assets or liabilities for the first time. The amendments clarify that this exemption does not apply and entities are required to recognize deferred tax on these transactions. The Group will consider the impact of all of the above on its Financial Statements, although they are not expected to have any effect. These have not been adopted by the European Union.

4. Management of financial and non-financial risks

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange price, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (Group Treasury) under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest-rate risk and credit risk.

Financial risk factors

a) Credit risk

Credit risk exists in the probability that a contractor causes financial damage to the Group and the Company, by not abiding with their contractual obligations. The maximum credit risk to which the Group and Company are exposed to on the balance sheet date is reflected on the book value of its financial assets.

The Group has set and applies procedures of credit control in order to minimize the bad debts and cover receivables with securities. Commercial risk is relatively low as sales are allocated in a large number of customers. The wholesales are made mainly in customers with an assessed credit history. Credit control management sets credit limits for each customer and applies certain conditions on sales and receipts. Whenever necessary, the Group requests customers to provide security for outstanding receivables.

The greatest exposure to credit risk at the date of publication of financial statements is the accounting value of every category of receivables as mentioned above. The decline is recognized for secure collection requirement purposes and has been assessed that they will lead to losses.

On each balance sheet date, the Group management reviews the receivables using a table which is used as a reference to calculate the expected credit losses by category of customer and on the basis of adjusted historical data. When required, this is accompanied with forecasts of future financial condition of customers as well as the economic environment. Cash and cash equivalents of the Group are mostly invested in contractors with high credit rating and for a short period of time.

There are no significant overdue and non-impaired trade receivables for the Group and the Company as of 30 June 2022.

The impaired receivables balances relate to customers who faced adverse financial conditions. It is expected that part of these will be recovered.

There is reservation regarding the impact on the economy from the energy crisis and the Russia- Ukraine military conflict which is expected to have considerable effect on the disposable income of households with a respective impact on overall consumption.

Furthermore, the distribution partners, service providers and suppliers of the Group, are expected to face financial difficulties, file for bankruptcy, seize operation or face challenges to their business activity as a result of the aforementioned factors.

b) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is defined by the Group or the Company, as the inability to meet financial obligations when that is required. Liquidity risk is maintained at reasonably low levels by having adequate cash and cash equivalents and by having adequate credit limits with collaborating banks, which secure the fulfillment of financial obligations expiring in the next 12 months.

For the monitoring and effective management of liquidity risk, the companies of the Group prepare forecasts for future cash flows on a regular basis. Liquidity risk is kept at low levels through sufficient cash levels as well as credit limits with the collaborating banks.

c) Market risk

The market risk created by the possibility that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and equity prices may affect the value of financial instruments held by the Group and the Company. The management of market risk refers in the effort of the Group and of the Company to manage and control exposure within acceptable limits.

The individual risks comprise the market risk are described below:

i. Interest fluctuation risk

The risk of interest rate fluctuation is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group's exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to long-term debt of the Group. The Group manages interest rate risk through floating rate loans which can be converted into fixed rate ones, as necessary. The interest rate risk arises from long-term loans. Fixed rate loans expose the Group to cash flow risk.

ii. Foreign currency risk

The Group operates in Europe and consequently the major part of the Group's transactions is denominated in Euros. Nevertheless, part of the Group's purchases of goods are denominated in US Dollar. The prompt payment of these trade payables decreases significantly the level of exchange rate risk. The Group's policy is to purchase foreign currency in advance and does not include concluding FX future contracts with external parties.

for the period ended 30 June 2022

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

d) Capital management

The primary objective of the Group and the Company regarding capital management is to ensure a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support their operation and maximize value for the benefit of shareholders.

The Group and the Company manage their capital structure in order to harmonize with changes in the economic environment. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group and the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.

An important tool for managing capital is the use of the leverage ratio (the ratio of net debt to equity) which is monitored at Group level. In the calculation of net debt are used the interest-bearing loans and bonds, less any cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash.

The leverage ratio of 2022 compared to 2021:

GROUP COMPANY
30/06/2022 31/12/2021 30/06/2022 31/12/2021
Total borrowings (Note 15) 73.135 78.469 - 11.990
Lease liabilities (Note 27) 30.543 22.673 407 414
Less : Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash (89.205) (163.036) (21.860) (96.905)
Net Borrowings 14.473 (61.895) (21.453) (84.500)
Total equity 218.693 258.899 156.654 204.442
Total employed capital 233.166 197.006 135.202 119.942
Leverage ratio 6,21% -31,42% -15,87% -70,45%

Non-financial risk factors

In addition to financial risks, the Group focuses on non-financial risks regarding certain issues that have been identified as substantial in the context of sustainable development. These issues relate to full compliance with legislation and the implementation of corporate governance policies, human resources, environmental impact of corporate activity, the supply chain and the growth of the companies within the market.

(a) Risk for the security of personal data

Companies face security risks regarding the security of their systems and infrastructure, which could affect the integrity and security of any information they manage, such as personal data of customers, associates or employees, and confidential corporate information.

The Company collects, stores and uses data in its normal course of business and protects them against based on the data protection legislation.

On April 27th, 2016, the European Parliament and the European Council adopted the Data Protection Regulation (EU) (2016/679) ("Data Protection Regulation"). The Data Protection Regulation includes extensive obligations for companies in relation to procedures and mechanisms for the processing of personal data and rights of data subjects, and in cases of breach, the Supervisory Authorities are allowed to impose fines of up to 4% of the Group's annual global turnover (or €20 million, whichever is greater). The Data Protection Regulation entered into force on May 25th, 2018, after a transitional period of two years.

In order to limit the risks involved, in 2018, the Group set up the Data Protection Directorate that develops all the necessary policies and procedures, oversees their implementation, designs new security systems and infrastructures and evaluates their effectiveness and compliance with the regulatory framework for the protection of personal data.

(b) Determination of fair values

The Group uses the following levels to define the fair value of the financial instruments by valuation method:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

for the period ended 30 June 2022

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).

Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

During the current period there were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2, and no transfers from and to level 3 for fair value measurement.

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, customers, treasury, and suppliers are close to their book values. The fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities are determined based on discounted cash flows using directly or indirectly observable inputs and are included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

(c) Technological changes

The Group operates among others, in the sectors of IT products and services, in which there are rapid technological advances. As a result, the Group competes based on its ability to offer to its customers competitive integrated solutions that provide desired product and services features. In addition, Group's product portfolios may quickly become outdated, or Group's market share may quickly erode. Efforts to balance the mix of products and services to optimize profitability, liquidity, and growth also may put pressure on Group's industry position. The Group through its long experience and deep knowledge closely monitors technological developments and adapts its products and services accordingly.

(d) Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 health crisis had led the global economy into a period of uncertainty and instability. The uncertainty that prevailed in the capital markets worldwide for two years since the outbreak of the pandemic seems to be receding as population vaccinations intensify and trading activity is maintained at satisfactory levels. We believe that from the second half of 2022 there will be an even greater normalization of the situation and a gradual return to normality. The Group management closely monitors the developments and estimate that there will be no material impact on the market sectors in which it operates. The Group maintains its liquidity at satisfactory levels with total cash and financing lines largely exceeding its operating needs.

(e) Impact of energy crisis

The global energy crisis that began in 2021 is characterized by the continued lack of energy around the world, but also by the sharp increase in its prices, affecting countries such as the United Kingdom, China and, among others, the European Union. Greece is experiencing a significant price increase in all forms of energy. Group management monitors the developments on a continuous basis so as to take all the necessary measures that may be needed. However, there is always the possibility that the energy crisis will bring further negative consequences to the global economy for 2022 and therefore negatively affect the Group's activities by increasing the operating costs of the companies, but also by reducing the demand for their products and services due to the limitation of the purchasing power of consumers. Each of these developments could have an impact on the financial results of 2022. But the experience so far from the management of the crisis during the fiscal year 2021, makes the Group Management relatively optimistic about the achievement of the goals set for 2022.

(f) Military conflict in Ukraine

The war between Russia and Ukraine is having a negative effect on the entire global economic activity, as Europe gets almost 40% of its natural gas and 25% of its oil supplies from Russia and is therefore facing new price increases. In addition, Russia is the largest supplier of wheat in the world, and together with Ukraine, they account for almost 1/4 of the total world exports. As it has been made clear from the pandemic, small disruptions (of economic activity) in one region can cause unrest in places far away. The Group operates within the European Union and in sectors of activity that do not have a direct geographical connection to the events in Ukraine, however, geopolitical uncertainty has led to higher inflation and increased volatility in the energy market affecting the general economic environment, conditions which are likely to continue. In addition, there is an increased risk of disruptions in the global supply chain. Management constantly assesses the potential impact of developments on the activities of the Group's companies.

5. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The Company and the Group make estimates and assumptions for the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. Estimates and assumptions that entail increased possibility for reassessment of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are outlined below.

Estimates and assumptions are continually reassessed and are based on historical experience as adjusted for current market conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events which are considered reasonable under the circumstances.

(a) Income tax

for the period ended 30 June 2022

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

Judgement is required by the Group in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

(b) Estimated trade receivables impairment

The Company examines the overdue balances of customers and whether exceeding the credit policies. The Company makes impairments of doubtful balances and creates corresponding provisions based on estimations. Estimates are made taking into consideration the timing and amount of repayment of receivables and any collateral of claims received. In particular, when there are guarantees, the Company creates provisions for doubtful debts, with percentage less than 100% of the claim. These statements involve significant degree of subjectivity and require the judgment of management.

(c) Estimation of investments and non-financial assets impairment

The Company examine annually and whether the shareholdings and non-financial assets have suffered any impairment in accordance with accounting practices. The recoverable amounts of cash generating units have been determined based on value in use. These calculations require the use of estimates.

(d) Retirement obligations

The present value of retirement obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined using actuarial methods and assumptions. Such actuarial assumption is the discount rate used to calculate the cost of delivery. Changes in these assumptions will change the present value of the obligations in the balance sheet.

The Group and the Company determine the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. This is defined as the rate that should be used to determine the present value of future cash flows, which are expected to be required to meet the obligations of the pension plans. Low risk corporate bonds are used to determine the appropriate discount rate, which are converted to the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and whose expiry date is approaching that of the related pension obligation.

(e) Provisions for pending legal cases

The Company has pending legal cases. Management evaluates the outcome of the cases and, if there is a potential negative outcome then the Company makes the necessary provisions. The provisions, when they are required are calculated based on the present value of management's estimation of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. This value is based on a number of factors which require the exercise of judgment.

6. Segment information

Primary reporting format – business segments

The Group is organised into five business segments:

  • (1) Information Technology
  • (2) Information Technology services
  • (3) Courier services
  • (4) Production of electric power from renewable sources
  • (5) Financial Services (Discontinued operations Note 30)

Management monitors the financial results of each business segment separately. These business segments are managed independently. The management making business decisions is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the business areas.

The category of Unallocated mainly includes the Company's activity.

The segmental results for the periods ended 30th of June 2022 and 30th June 2021 are analysed as follows:

The additions of the current period include mainly additions of € 10.741 thousand for subsidiary "Infoquest Technologies SA" upon the commencement of lease of the new logistics center in Aspropyrgos, Attica.

Lease contracts are usually made for fixed periods from 4 to 10 years but may have extensions or termination rights.

The main contracts of the Group containing this type of rights mainly concern buildings. In their majority, these leases provide termination rights after a determined period. In most cases, it was considered that the termination rights are rather improbable to be exercised, as they basically serve the activities of the Group.

Lease contracts do not impose other penalties except for the security on the leased assets held by the lessor. Leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.
