The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the interim condensed financial statements of Quest Holdings S.A. and subsidiary companies, over which the Company directly or indirectly exercises control. The subsidiaries are presented in Notes 11 and 23.
S.A.
The Group has classified its subsidiaries and the rest participations according to the business sector in which they operate. The structure of the Group as of 30 September 2024 is as follows:


This interim condensed financial information covers the nine‐month period ended on September 30rd, 2024 and has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union.
The accounting policies used in the preparation and presentation of this interim condensed 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, 2023.
The interim condensed financial information does not include all the information and notes required for the Annual Financial Statements and for this reason, they must be considered in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2023, which are available on the Group's web site at the address www.quest.gr.
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the remeasurement of the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates (Note 5). It also requires Management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. 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 may eventually deviate from these estimates.
Differences between amounts presented in the financial statements and corresponding amounts in the notes are due to rounding.
The Group and the Company cover their needs for working capital through the cash flows generated, including bank borrowing.
Current economic conditions impact (a) the demand for the products of the Group and the Company and (b) their ability to borrow funds from banks for the foreseeable future.
Positive future perspectives, taking into account possible fluctuations on the performance of the Group and the Company, create a reasonable expectation that both the Company and the Group have the ability to continue their operations as going concerns in the foreseeable future.
Therefore, the Group and the Company continue to adopt the "going concern" principle for the preparation of the interim condensed separate and consolidated financial statements for the period from January 1st, to September 30rd, 2024, considering the particularly positive performance accomplished during nine months of 2024.
New Standards, Interpretations, Revisions and Amendments to existing Standards that have entered into force and have been adopted by the European Union
Since 1 January 2024, the Group has implemented all the amendments in IFRS as adopted by the European Union ('EU') and that are relevant with its operations. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Financial Statements of the Group.
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 01/01/2023 onwards.
(Amounts presented in thousand euros unless otherwise stated)
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 October2022, 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
The amendments clarify that a financial liability is derecognized on the "settlement date" and introduce an accounting policy choice to derecognise 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.
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.
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


for the period ended 30 September 2024
(Amounts presented in thousand euros unless otherwise stated)
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.
Management's estimates and judgments are being constantly reassessed and are based on historic information and expectations for future events, which are deemed reasonable under the current circumstances.
Realizing the responsibility of its companies around environmental issues, the Group has adapted its business practices to the needs of environmental protection and the saving of natural resources. This has led to the adoption of an ESG strategy for the environment which, in the long run, is expected to provide cost savings for the Group's companies (reduction of energy consumption, focus on the circular economy model, replacement of the leased vehicles fleet with environmentally friendly ones upon expiration of existing lease contracts etc.). Based on the nature of the group activities, no significant exposure to environmental risks has been assessed. It should also be noted that the increasing awareness on the protection of the environment has boosted the demand for the products of some of the Group's IT companies, in the context of their customers' efforts to reduce their own environmental footprint (enhancement of the digitalization process, automation solutions, cloud distribution etc.), a trend which is expected to strengthen further in the future. Regarding the financial and the non‐financial assets of the Group, Management has assessed that no material exposure to climate‐related risks exists and has therefore concluded, that no adjustments to the carrying amounts of the assets or to the judgments/assumptions made in the context of IFRS is required as of 30 September 2024, as a direct consequence of climate‐related risks.
The Group and the Company make estimates and judgements about the future. The estimates and judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next 12 months concern:
The impairment test on goodwill is performed annually. The recoverable amount of each cash generating unit, over which goodwill has been allocated, has been determined based on value in use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates (refer to Note 8).
The Group and the Company follow the simplified approach of IFRS 9 for the estimation of the expected credit losses on trade receivables, based on which the impairment allowance is based on the lifetime expected credit losses on trade receivables. The assessment of expected credit losses is based on past experience adjusted by expectations around the future financial ability of customers and the future conditions prevalent in the economic environment. These estimates are highly subjective and entail the exercise of judgement by management.
The Company assesses on each reporting date whether there are any indicators for impairment / reversal of impairment of investments in subsidiaries. When impairment indicators exist, the Company performs an impairment review in accordance with the accounting standards requirements. The determination of the recoverable amount of each subsidiary is based on the estimation of the future cash flows which depend on several assumptions regarding, among others, the sales future growth rate, future costs and an appropriate discount rate (refer to Note 11).

for the period ended 30 September 2024
(Amounts presented in thousand euros unless otherwise stated)
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 the benefits. Changes in these assumptions will change the present value of the obligations presented on the statement of financial position.
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.
Other significant assumptions used are partially dependent on current market conditions.
Revenue from contracts with customers, for which a specific transaction price has been predetermined with the customer (fixed price) and which must be performed within a specific time frame, is recognized over time as the Group transfers control of the goods or services. The Group measures progress towards satisfaction of performance obligations for each contract using the input method. In the input method, the revenue recognized in any given accounting period is based on estimates of the total estimated contract costs. Estimates are continually reassessed and revised as necessary throughout the life of the contract. Any adjustments to revenues and earnings resulting from changes in the underlying estimates are accounted for in the period when the change in the estimate incurred. When estimates indicate that a loss will arise from a contract upon completion, a provision for the expected loss is recognized in the period when such evidence arises. Management assesses the progress of long‐term projects, that exceed one year in duration, against the budget. When the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and expenses are recognized over the contract term as revenue and expense, respectively. The Group uses the percentage‐of‐completion method to determine the appropriate amount of income and expense to recognize in a particular period. The stage of completion is measured based on the costs incurred up to the reporting date in relation to the total estimated costs for each contract.
For determining the cost incurred by the end of the year, any costs related to future work to fulfill the contract are excluded and shown as work in progress. The total cost incurred and the profit / loss recognized for each contract is compared with the progressive billings until the end of the year.
The Group and the Company examine on each reporting date whether events have occurred that could cause a loss for the Group or the Company and proceeds with an assessment and accounting for a provision. To assess the amount to be provided, all available information on future development of income and expenses is taken into account.
Provisions are discounted to present value when the effect of the time value of money is assessed as material, using a pre‐tax discount rate that reflects current market conditions.
The provision for income taxes in accordance with IAS 12 "Income taxes", are the amounts expected to be paid to the taxation authorities and includes provision for current income taxes reported and the potential additional tax that may be imposed as a result of audits by the taxation authorities. Group entities are subject to income taxes in various jurisdictions and significant management judgment is required in determining provision for income taxes. Actual income taxes could vary from these estimates due to future changes in income tax law, significant changes in the jurisdictions in which the Group and the Company operate, or unpredicted results from the final determination of each year's liability by tax authorities. These changes could have a significant impact on the Group's and the Company's financial position. Where the actual additional taxes payable are different from the amounts that were initially recorded, these differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such a determination is made. Further details are provided in Note 19.
On 13 June 2024 and 15 June 2023 the Annual General Meeting of the shareholders of the Company approved a program for share‐based payments for the executive members of the Board of Directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. Specifically, certain executives from various group companies are granted the option to receive equity instruments (shares) of the Company
(Amounts presented in thousand euros unless otherwise stated)
provided that specific vesting conditions have been met. There is no option for the equity‐based payment agreement plans to be settled in cash. Also, in accordance with the terms of the plan, intragroup charges may be imposed by the Company to other group entities for executives that belong to the payroll of other group entities.
Services received in return for equity‐based payments are measured at fair value. The fair value of the services of the executives, at the date when the shares are granted, is recognized in accordance with IFRS 2 "Share‐based payments" as an expense in profit or loss, with a corresponding increase in equity, during the period in which the services for which the shares are granted are received.
Total expenses during the vesting period are calculated based on the best available estimate of the number of shares expected to be vested. The fair value of the shares is based on the stock price of the share of the Company.
The activities of the Group are divided into the following business segments:
| Business segment | Operations |
|---|---|
| Commercial activities | Includes sales of a wide range of products, mostly IT related, such as IT equipment, Apple and Xiaomi mobile phone devices, air conditioning devices and other home appliances |
| Information technology services | Concerns production and maintenance services of IT software |
| Postal services | Relates to rendering of services (courier and post) for the handling of shipments for customers |
| Production of electric power from renewable energy sources | Relates to production and sale of electric power generated from renewable energy sources |
Management monitors the financial results of each business segment separately. Business segments are managed independently. Operating segments are presented in a manner consistent with the internal information provided to the chief operating decision makers. The chief operating decision makers are responsible for allocating resources and evaluating the performance of the business segments.
The business segments presented above are the reportable segments of the Group and have arisen from the aggregation of the operating segments of the Group (individual group companies), as the relevant criteria set out in IFRS 8 "Operating segments" are met. More specifically, the operating segments within the Group present similar economic characteristics and are also roughly similar in terms of product/services offered, nature of production processes, customers and distribution channels that they use.
The financial results for the years ended 30rd of September 2024 and 30rd of September 2023 per business segment are as follows (under category unallocated mainly the Company's activity is included):

The goodwill arising from the acquisition of EPAFOS has been determined on a provisional basis, as the relevant purchase price allocation (PPA) process has not been completed until the date the financial statements were authorized for issue, and therefore the book values of the acquired assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date 31 May 2023 have been used for its determination. During the 12‐month measurement period after the acquisition date, the acquisition accounting will be completed with any necessary adjustments that might arise upon the finalization of the PPA. The goodwill is attributable mainly to the know‐how and specialization that EPAFOS has developed in the field of Information Systems for education.
