  • The Group elected to implement IFRS 16, applying the modified retrospective approach, whereby the cumulative effect of adopting the standard has been recognized at its relevant effective date on January 1st 2019, without the restatement of 2018 comparative information;
  • IFRS 16 has a significant impact on the Group's consolidated balance sheet side due to the right of use assets and lease liabilities that are now recognized for contracts in which the Group is a lessee;
  • In the consolidated statement of income the majority of the current operating rental costs is now presented as depreciation of right to use assets and interest expenses on the lease liabilities, with a significant positive impact in terms of EBITDA and a minor effect on EBIT and net income.
