Independent auditor’s report
To the Shareholders of AUTOHELLAS TOURIST AND TRADING SOCIETE ANONYME
Report on the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements
Our opinion
We have audited the separate and consolidated financial statements of AUTOHELLAS TOURIST AND
TRADING SOCIETE ANONYME (Company or/and Group) which comprise the separate and
consolidated statement of financial position (or separate and consolidated balance sheet) as at
December 31, 2024, the separate and consolidated statements of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income (or profit or loss, comprehensive income), changes in equity and cash flow
statements for the year then ended, as well as notes to the separate and consolidated financial
statements, comprising material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the separate and consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects the separate and consolidated financial position of the Company and the Group as at
December 31, 2024, their separate and consolidated financial performance and their separate and
consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards, as adopted by the European Union and comply with the statutory requirements of Law
4548/2018.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), as they have
been transposed into Greek Law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in
the “Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements”
section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Company and the Group in accordance with the International Code of
Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the International Ethics Standards Boards of
Accountants (IESBA Code) that has been transposed into Greek Law, and the ethical requirements of
Law 4449/2017 and of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014, that are relevant to the audit of the separate and
consolidated financial statements in Greece. We have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in
accordance with the requirements of the IESBA Code, the Law 4449/2017 and the Regulation (EU) No
537/2014.
We declare that the non-audit services that we have provided to the Company and its subsidiaries are
in accordance with the aforementioned provisions of the applicable law and that we have not provided
non-audit services that are prohibited under Article 5 par. (1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014.
The non-audit services that we have provided to the Company and its subsidiaries, during the year
ended as at December 31, 2024, are disclosed in the note 42 of the separate and consolidated
financial statements.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements of the year under audit. These matters
were addressed in the context of our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements as a
whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Estimation of the useful lives and residual
values of vehicles
Property, plant and equipment includes vehicles
amounting EUR 570 million for the Company and
EUR 727 million for the Group as at 31 December
2024, that are measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment. The book values of
vehicles are significant and form the basis of the
Company’s and the Group’s rental and leasing
operations.
The estimation of the useful lives of vehicles, in
accordance with IAS 16 "Property, Plant and
Equipment", is based on historic performance as
well as expectations about future use and
therefore requires a degree of judgement to be
applied by management. Residual values are
determined taking into account generally accepted
market forecasts adjusted where necessary to
take into account factors specific to the vehicles.
Management is required to assess the useful life
and residual value of an asset periodically and
changes should either be accounted for as an
impairment charge or as a change in accounting
estimate through prospective depreciation.
Due to its significance as well as the degree of
complexity and judgement required in estimating
Our audit approach included obtaining an
understanding of the vehicles management
process as designed and implemented at the
Company and the Group.
We evaluated and reviewed management’s
process relating to useful lives and residual
values assessment for vehicles and examined
the criteria used to identify impairment
indicators, with a focus on the timely detection
of impairments.
We tested the appropriateness of the
approach used and the reasonableness of key
assumptions applied by management.
Furthermore, we also reviewed historical
disposals of vehicles and the profit or loss
derived from these disposals to assess if the
followed approach reflects past performance.
We determined that the approach for
determining useful lives and residual values of
vehicles forms a reasonable basis for
management’s assessment and that the
available evidence supported the key
assumptions used.
The disclosures in the financial statements are
adequate and consistent with the
useful lives and calculating residual values of
vehicles, it is considered a key audit matter.
For more information, refer to notes 2, 3 and 7 of
the financial statements.
requirements of relevant accounting
standards.
Revenue recognition
The Company’s and the Group’s revenue streams
include vehicle operating lease and finance lease
income, vehicle sales and income from other
additional vehicle related services, which is an
important determinant of the Group’s profitability.
Τhe Group focuses on revenue as a key
performance measure which could create an
incentive for revenue to be recognised before the
risks and rewards have been transferred, resulting
in a significant audit risk associated with revenue
recognition. Furthermore, there exists an inherent
risk around the accuracy of revenue recorded
given the impact of changing pricing models.
Based on these factors, there is a heightened risk
that revenue is not completely or accurately
recorded or that revenue is not recognised in the
correct year.
Due to the significant risk associated with revenue
recognition and the increased work effort from the
audit team, the recognition of revenue is
considered a key audit matter.
For more information, refer to notes 2 and 30 of
the financial statements.
Our audit procedures included obtaining an
understanding of the various revenue streams,
considering the appropriateness of the
Group’s revenue recognition accounting
policies and assessing compliance of these
policies with relevant standards.
Our audit approach included understanding
the systems and process that are relevant to
revenue recognition, holding discussions with
relevant Company and Group employees to
validate processes and re-performing key
process.
Furthermore, we performed relevant
substantive audit procedures around the
various revenue streams, which focused on
the adequacy and consistency of the
accounting policies applied, by conducting
audit procedures over the point of transfer of
risk and rewards. Our audit procedures
included:
Analytical review procedures on the
different revenue streams.
Sample testing of transactions during the
year of all material revenue streams.
Revenue cut-off procedures.
Testing of sales returns and credit notes
issued after year end.
Sample third party confirmation of annual
revenue and trade receivables at year
end.
Our procedures concluded that revenue
recognition for the Group’s revenue streams is
consistent with the Company’s and the
Group’s accounting policies and relevant
standards. Based on our work, we noted no
significant issues regarding the accuracy of
revenue reported for the year under audit.
The disclosures in the financial statements are
adequate and consistent with the
requirements of relevant accounting
standards.
Other Information
The members of the Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other
information, which is included in the Annual Report, in accordance with Law 3556/2007, is the
Statements of Board of Directors members and the Board of Directors Report (but does not include
the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon), which we obtained prior to the date of this
auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements does not cover the other
information including the Management Report of the Board of Directors.
In connection with our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is
to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information
is materially inconsistent with the separate and consolidated financial statements or our knowledge
obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We considered whether the Board of Directors Report includes the disclosures required by Law
4548/2018 and the Corporate Governance Statement required by article 152 of Law 4548/2018 has
been prepared and provides the information referred to in items (a), (b), (e) and (f) of paragraph 1 of
article 152 of Law 4548/2018.
Based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit, in our opinion:
The information given in the Board of Directors’ Report for the year ended at December 31, 2024
is consistent with the separate and consolidated financial statements,
The Board of Directors’ Report has been prepared in accordance with the applicable legal
requirements of articles 150, and 153 of Law 4548/2018, excluding the sustainability reporting
requirements for which a relevant limited assurance report dated 11 March 2024 was issued in
accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised) “Assurance
Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information”,
The Corporate Governance Statement provides the information referred to items (c) and (d) of
paragraph 1 of article 152 of Law 4548/2018.
In addition, in light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and Group and their
environment obtained in the course of the audit, we are required to report if we have identified material
misstatements
in the Board of Directors’ Report and other information that we obtained prior to the
date of this auditor’s report. We have nothing to report in this respect.
Responsibilities of Board of Directors and those charged with governance for the separate and
consolidated financial statements
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate and
consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as
adopted by the European Union and comply with the requirements of Law 4548/2018, and for such
internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of
separate and consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error.
In preparing the separate and consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible
for assessing the Company’s and Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as
applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless
Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company and Group or to cease operations, or has
no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Audit Committee (article 44 of Law 4449/2017) of the Company is responsible for overseeing the
financial reporting process of the Company and the Group.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate and consolidated
financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,
and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of
assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs, that have been
transposed into Greek Law, will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
separate and consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs that have been transposed into Greek Law, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate and consolidated financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error, by designing and performing audit procedures
responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s and Group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies and methods used and the reasonableness
of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of Board of Directors’ use of the going concern basis of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s and Group’s
ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are
required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the separate and
consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.
Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report.
However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and Group to cease to continue
as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate and consolidated
financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the separate and consolidated
financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves
fair presentation.
Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the
financial information of the entities or business units within the Group as a basis for forming an
opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction,
supervision and review of the audit work performed for the purposes of the group audit. We
remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in
internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and
other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,
related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters
that were of most significance in the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements of the
year under audit and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s
report.

BRANCHES
The Group maintains a total of 144 branches in Greece and in 8 countries abroad which cover the renting activity as at the
publication date of the financial statements. Due to increased seasonality during the summer season, the operating branches
increase depending on local demand. Additionally, the Group maintains 34 branches which cover the car and spare parts trade
activity.
DEVELOPMENT AND PROSPECTS
In 2024, the markets in which the Group operates showed growth, particularly in the short-term and long-term rental sectors.
Passenger traffic in Greece showed an annual growth of 8%, positively affecting short-term rentals. Price pressure, due to a large
availability of cars, continued this year, especially during the winter months. Tourism activity maintained its upward trend,
contributing to high demand during the summer season, with even greater increases in the first and last quarters of the year,
improving the seasonality of arrivals.
In the long-term leasing sector, corporate fleet registrations decreased by 2% in 2024. However, more than 55% of total
registrations remained, continuing the long-term trend of leasing preference over ownership. Despite the decline in corporate
registrations in the market, the Company's long-term rentals showed an increase, resulting in an improved market share.
In the car sales sector, total registrations in Greece increased by 2%, with the Group experiencing a decline in market share for
the brands it represents (Hyundai, Kia, SEAT/Cupra, FIAT, Jeep, Alfa Romeo). Despite the increased vehicle availability in the
market and price pressures, the Group’s commercial activity managed to maintain profitability at a satisfactory level.
It is worth noting that in the first half of 2024, in order to further protect itself from high interest rates, the Company issued a
€200 million Bond to the retail market and proceeded with the repayment of floating rate loans. At the same time, the Company
secured financing for car fleet purchases in 2024 and signed a new financing agreement with the Recovery and Resilience Fund
exclusively to enhance its fleet with electric vehicles. Additionally, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to
hedge interest rate risk.
Autohellas estimates that 2025 will be characterized by continued growth in leasing, due to increased demand for mobility services
and the strengthening of tourism flows. The company will continue to invest in innovation, sustainable mobility, and service
improvement, maintaining a strong market position despite fluctuations in supply and challenges with pricing.
The Group places utmost importance on providing high-quality services to its customers. This commitment is reinforced by its
long-term experience and the provision of well-equipped, owned facilities that enhance operational efficiency. As a result, the
Group believes it has created a significant market advantage relative to the growing competition. However, one of the most
important challenges to be addressed lies in the effective utilization of technology. The Group recognizes the necessity of
innovation and the development of a series of new, flexible products tailored to the varied and evolving needs of its customer
base. This focus on technology and product development is essential not only for maintaining but also for strengthening its
position in a constantly changing competitive landscape. By prioritizing these areas, the Group aims to ensure it remains at the
forefront of the industry, consistently delivering value to its customers.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024

(i) Short and long term rentals in Greece
In 2024, activity in the Long-term Leasing sector showed growth, particularly in the first half of the year, gradually improving the
Group's market share in Greece. During the last four months of the year, a slowdown in demand was observed across the long-
term rental market, which partially affected the growth rate of the activity. Special emphasis was placed during the year on the
development of technological tools through digital applications aimed at improving the customer experience by providing
immediate access to leasing information and addressing personalized needs.
In the long-term leasing sector, the increased preference of businesses and professionals for this mode of mobility is expected to
continue in 2025, which will be a challenging year. New regulations for reducing emissions and the shift towards electric mobility
are expected to shape the corporate leasing landscape, strengthening demand for more flexible and sustainable fleet financing
models. The Company aims to further increase its figures by introducing new long-term leasing programs, starting immediately,
leveraging Group synergies.
In the short-term rental (Rent a Car) sector, Autohellas maintained its leadership position in the Greek market, recording an
increase in both rental days and total revenue. The Company operated in an extremely competitive environment, with a high
availability of vehicles in the market leading to a slight reduction in rental prices. In 2024, it achieved further improvement in fleet
utilization, leveraging all available sales channels, effectively utilizing owned facilities and sales points, and maintaining the high
quality of services provided, with high customer satisfaction levels. Autohellas' competitive advantages, combined with increased
tourism, contributed to the improvement of financial results.
For 2025, short-term rentals are expected to maintain their positive momentum, with demand being influenced by the continued
growth of tourism, as well as potential fluctuations in arrivals depending on the international environment. Competition and
increased vehicle availability will continue to exert pressure on rental prices.
The primary goal remains strengthening all distribution channels, coupled with a robust strategy aimed at capitalizing on the
opportunities of both external and internal markets. By focusing on these two critical areas, the goal for 2025 remains increasing
the efficiency and effectiveness of invested capital in fleet, infrastructure, and human resources. This approach not only ensures
the optimal utilization of the Group's financial commitments but also enables the maximum return on market demands and the
optimization of overall operational performance.
(ii) Car and spare parts Trade
In 2024, the full recovery of issues in the supply chain was not accompanied by the expected increase in sales, resulting in a slight
overall market increase.
The activity of importing, selling, and distributing cars and spare parts for most of the brands represented by the Group faced
significant production shortages in the first half of the year. These shortages, combined with increased prices due to new models,
led to a reduction in both market share and turnover. Nevertheless, the activity of importing, selling, and distributing cars and
spare parts managed to maintain profitability at a satisfactory level.
The retail sales activity of new cars and spare parts saw a decrease in overall turnover, primarily due to the sale of new cars.
However, this decrease was partially offset by an increase in turnover from both After Sales activities and the sale of used cars. At
the same time, with a focus on improving the provided services, the Company continued investing in facilities and human
resources.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
24
In 2025, the transition to electric mobility is expected to become even more urgent due to the stringent regulations imposed by
the European Union on manufacturers, aiming to further reduce CO2 emissions. The increased prices of electric vehicles, inflation,
and high interest rates (although a declining trend is prevailing) are expected to lead to sales at lower or the same levels compared
to 2024. The activities of importing, selling, and distributing cars and spare parts, along with retail sales of new cars and spare
parts, with continuous investments in products, facilities, and personnel, will aim to increase both market share and profitability.
(iii) Short term and Long term Rentals in foreign countries
Car rentals experienced growth in 2024 in the markets of the Balkans and Cyprus, where the Company’s subsidiaries operate. The
growth in short-term rentals came from more efficient fleet management and upgrades, combined with the full recovery of travel
traffic, particularly in the tourist markets of Cyprus, Croatia, and Montenegro. At the same time, in less tourist-heavy countries
such as Romania, Bulgaria, and Serbia, penetration into local markets intensified, developing corporate leases and gaining market
share from competitors. Finally, the emphasis on fleet used car sales continued, contributing significantly to international growth.
The subsidiary in Portugal recorded an increase in fleet size, benefiting from a 4% increase in passenger traffic. However, the high
availability of vehicles put pressure on prices and the utilization of the available fleet.
In 2025, the positive trend in tourism is expected to continue, however, at a reduced pace. The Group is expected to continue its
strategy in the subsidiaries in the Balkans and Cyprus, targeting further organic growth by enriching products, upgrading services,
and strengthening the quality of the customer base, which includes both tourist and corporate rentals, thus widening market
share in local markets. In the subsidiary in Portugal, the goal is to maintain market share while optimizing the effective utilization
of the fleet. At the same time, price pressures are expected to intensify due to increasing competition. In this competitive
environment, the Group expects to improve its financial figures by focusing on enhancing the customer experience as well as new
operational systems.

MAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The section below describes the main risks and uncertainties that is possible to affect the Group.
(i) Exchange rate risk
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk from future transactions, from recognized monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective entity, as well as from its net investments in
foreign subsidiaries.
The Group, via its subsidiaries, is operating in Portugal, Bulgaria, Romania, Cyprus, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia and Ukraine. The
existing operations of the Group abroad refer both in short-term and long-term leases. Due to these operations, the Group
transacts with clients and suppliers outside the European Economic Area and consequently holds assets and liabilities which are
expressed in different currencies than the Euro, which is the reporting currency of the Group. More specifically, the Group’s
subsidiaries in Romania, Serbia and Ukraine have liabilities/assets in RON, RSD, HRK and UAH respectively. However, these
subsidiaries do not expose the Group into a material exchange rate risk due to their size and the currencies that they use.
(ii) Interest rate risk
The Company and the Group are exposed to debt instruments which may be based on either floating or fixed interest rates.
International markets are closely monitored, and exposure to different types of financing is selected on a case-by-case basis with
the aim of minimizing interest rate risk. Additionally, interest rate swap products may be used to hedge interest rate risk
(iii) Credit risk
The Company does not have any substantial credit risk. Retail sales are mainly made through credit cards and electronic banking
transactions and by exception in cash. Wholesales take place only after a thorough check on the customer’s financial reliability
has been conducted, and in most cases advance payments or guarantees are obtained. In addition, the company and its
subsidiaries pay close attention to its credit collection period and act accordingly. Potential credit risk exists also for the Group's
cash, but for the deposit products are used recognized financial institutions with high credit standing. Additionally, in most of
these cases, the Group has debt obligations of a higher amount.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
27
(iv) Liquidity risk
The Group's liquidity is monitored on an ongoing basis. Effective management of liquidity risk requires the maintenance of
sufficient cash and marketable securities, as well as the availability of financing through adequate bank credit lines to meet
obligations as they become due and to close positions. Due to the dynamic nature of its activities, the Group has ensured flexibility
by maintaining unused credit lines. Additionally, the Company has secured financing for the purchase of vehicles for long-term
leases through the securitization of receivables.
(v) Market price risk
With regard to market price risk, the Company and consequently the Group as at 31.12.2024 are exposed to the fluctuation risk
of the stock price of Aegean Airlines S.A, Trade Estates S.A.. For 2024, there was a negative effect on the other comprehensive
income of the Company and consequently of the Group.
The Company and the Group are also exposed in the potential used car price reduction risk. The Group’s ability to sell its used car
fleet could be reduced due to several reasons, including the macroeconomic environment, changes in the operational model of
the Rent a Car sector, regulatory changes (such as changes in taxation, in environmental frameworks, as well as an over-supply of
new cars in the market), that will result in a reduction towards the demand of used cars and the subsequent reduction in their
prices. The Company and the Group have been dealing even to date with the risk of a reduction in resale prices through continuous
market research and marketability-based fleet configuration. At the same time, the Company is making adjustments to the
depreciation rates if required so that the residual book value does not deviate significantly from market prices.
Finally, the Group and the Company are exposed to the risk of changes in real estate prices. In the first half of 2008, there was a
change in the measurement method of properties, which are no longer valued at depreciable acquisition value but at their fair
value. This results in changes in the real estate market affecting fair values. The Company carries out a reassessment of the fair
value of the properties on an annual basis. As of 31.12.2023, the result from the valuation of properties was a profit of €173,000
for investment properties and €350,218 for owner-occupied properties. For the year ending 31.12.2024, the result was a profit of
€1,071,268 for investment properties and a loss of €7,013 for owner-occupied properties.
(vi) Sales Seasonality
Rent-a-car sales (short term rentals) are traditionally extremely seasonable in the Greek market, as they depend heavily on
tourist arrivals. It is indicative that 55% of total RaC sales in Greece, is generated during the July September period while this
figure for the foreign countries stands at 42% for the summer months. As a result, short term sales can be affected substantially
by events that have an impact on the tourism market, especially if such events take place at the beginning of the season. A key
factor in smoothing out seasonality is sales for long-term car rentals, as they are evenly distributed over time.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
All transactions to and from related parties are made under standard market conditions. Significant transactions with related
parties as defined by IAS 24 (and in the case of legal entities controlled by them, as defined by IAS 27) are described in detail in
note 40 of the Annual Consolidated and Company Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The Company complied with the provisions of articles 99 to 101 of Law 4548/2018 for the transactions of the Company from and
to its related parties in their entirety.

SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
1. General Disclosures
i. General information
Introduction
The sustainability statement of Autohellas Group presents the Group’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance,
offering stakeholders a detailed and transparent view of how the Group addresses sustainability-related issues.
This section provides an overview of the material sustainability impacts, risks, and opportunities identified, along with Autohellas
Group's principles for sustainability reporting, which serve as the foundation for preparing the sustainability statements.
Basis for preparation
The sustainability statement is prepared in accordance with the requirements of the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting
Directive (CSRD) and the underlying European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) issued by the European Financial
Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) as well as with the Law 5164/2024 which incorporates it into the Greek legal framework.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
45
Additionally, the report has been prepared based on the guidance in “the ESG Reporting Guide of the Athens Stock Exchange
(AthEx)”. This guide includes a series of key indicators which calculate the company’s performance and align its activities based
on specific criteria.
In this Sustainability Report, Autohellas Group has chosen to follow the time horizons as defined in ESRS 1, Section 6.4,
distinguishing targets into short-term, medium-term, and long-term periods. This approach ensures consistency, transparency,
and the ability to compare the Group's performance against international benchmarking standards.
Scope
The sustainability statement covers the same period as the one covered in the financial statements, i.e. 1 January - 31 December
2024.
The data is consolidated according to the same principles used in the financial statements, unless otherwise specifically stated.
The consolidated quantitative ESG data concerns the parent company Autohellas Tourist and Trading Société Anonyme
(hereinafter “the Company”) and subsidiaries controlled by the Company (together, “the Group), as detailed in Note 12 to the
financial statements. All subsidiaries of Autohellas Group are included in the combined sustainability report and none of them are
excluded pursuant to Articles 19a(9) or 29a(8) of Directive 2013/34/EU. Associates and joint ventures are excluded from the
consolidated ESG data points.
Data points included in the Environmental, Social, and Governance sections of the sustainability statement have been assessed as
material based on the Group’s double materiality assessment (DMA). Additional data points, which have been included in the
Group’s previous sustainability reports but have been deemed below the current double materiality assessment thresholds, have
been reported in the appendix, as they are requested by certain ESG ratings and stakeholders.
Autohellas conducted a Double Materiality Assessment ("DMA") to evaluate sustainability impacts, risks, and opportunities (IRO).
The assessment was based on a defined set of selection criteria and aligned with the guidelines of the European Sustainability
Reporting Standards (ESRS). The Group carries out a thorough assessment of its impacts, risks, and opportunitieswhether
positive or negative, actual or potentialconcerning both people and the environment throughout its entire value chain.
Measurement basis
The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the financial year. The calculation factors and data sources
used are provided in the relevant section of the report.
Where applicable, comparative figures have been restated to align with the measurement methods of the current-year figures.
Such cases are clearly indicated.
Accounting estimates and judgements
Certain data points rely on assessments and estimates, which are periodically reviewed and reassessed according to experience,
developments in ESG reporting, and other factors. Any changes are reflected in both the current and the comparative figures.
Additionally, judgements are applied when implementing accounting policies. Information on the key estimates, judgements, and
assumptions is available in the relevant quantitative ESG data sections of the statement.
Autohellas Group is committed to continuously enhancing its sustainability reporting to ensure a precise and transparent
representation of its material direct and indirect impacts. The company prioritizes the use of internal records and primary data,
aiming to expand their scope while minimizing reliance on estimates or third-party sources.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
46
Reporting process and external review
The Group regularly evaluates its sustainability reporting process. The Group faces risks related to incomplete or inconsistent
sustainability reporting, and potential inaccuracies or manual errors in data aggregation. To address these risks, the Group has
implemented review controls for quantitative and qualitative data by business area and group functions, and has established a
reporting process with automated input controls in the reporting systems.
Additionally, the Group has engaged external auditors, who review Autohellas Group’s sustainability reporting as part of their
limited assurance process, which is outlined in the independent auditor's limited assurance report on the sustainability statement.
The assurance process is risk-based, with auditors sharing feedback on risk assessments with both the Audit Committee and
management, as well as with the Board of Directors during their review of the annual report.
The sustainability statement is approved by the Board of Directors.
ii. Sustainability governance
Autohellas Group has established a sustainability governance framework that ensures clear oversight and management of
sustainability-related matters. The responsibility for managing sustainability-related impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs) is not
delegated to a specific management-level position, as Autohellas Group does not currently have an executive-level sustainability
accountability process in place. However, oversight of sustainability risks is integrated within the Board of Directors and the
Sustainability Committee, ensuring that sustainability matters are addressed within the broader corporate governance framework.
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors serves as the highest governing body for sustainability and is responsible for approving sustainability
policies, overseeing material sustainability impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs), and ensuring compliance with ESRS disclosure
requirements. The Board reviews sustainability performance annually and assesses progress on key environmental, social, and
governance (ESG) commitments, including climate transition, responsible business conduct, and corporate social responsibility
initiatives.
The Board of Directors comprises members with diverse expertise in key sectors relevant to the company’s business, including
automotive services, fleet management, finance, and international mobility solutions. Board members bring extensive experience
in corporate governance, risk management, and strategic planning, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the operational
and geographic landscape in which the company operates. The Board collectively oversees business expansion, financial
sustainability, and adaptation to evolving regulatory frameworks, ensuring that decision-making aligns with industry best practices
and market trends.

Autohellas Group ensures that its Board of Directors and senior management have access to sustainability expertise through
external advisors, regulatory updates, and industry best practices. While sustainability is not a formal Board competency
requirement, training and advisory support are provided to enhance ESG risk management and compliance capabilities. This
approach ensures that sustainability considerations are effectively integrated into corporate decision-making and governance
frameworks.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
47
At present, Autohellas Group does not have an employee or worker representative designated as a member of the Board of
Directors. However, the company actively engages with employees through internal communication channels, HR policies, and
stakeholder engagement initiatives to ensure that workforce concerns and insights are considered in corporate decision-making.
Employee-related matters, including workplace policies, training, and sustainability initiatives, are managed through the HR
Department and the Candidacy & Remuneration Committee, which provide input to senior management and the Board on
workforce-related risks and opportunities.
Sustainability Committee
The Sustainability Committee manages sustainability-related IROs, ensuring that sustainability objectives are aligned with business
strategy, regulatory requirements, and stakeholder expectations. The Committee is responsible for identifying and evaluating
material sustainability IROs, integrating them into corporate policies, and monitoring their impact on business operations, supply
chains, and financial performance. It collaborates with relevant business units to ensure that sustainability risks are mitigated,
opportunities are leveraged, and reporting practices remain aligned with CSRD and ESRS disclosure standards.
The Sustainability Committee is also responsible for reviewing and updating policies that incorporate responsibilities for
sustainability impacts, risks, and opportunities and reflect evolving regulatory requirements, stakeholder expectations, and
business priorities. These policies cover key areas such as climate change, corporate governance, anti-corruption, data protection,
and workforce well-being. They apply to employees, suppliers, business partners, and key stakeholders to ensure that
sustainability commitments are upheld across the company’s operations and value chain.
Through the Sustainability Committee, the Board of Directors and senior executive management oversee sustainability targets,
ensuring alignment with material topics identified in the Double Materiality Assessment (DMA). Key focus areas include emissions
reduction, fleet electrification, energy efficiency, and responsible business practices. Progress is monitored through structured
reporting, with regular updates provided to senior management and the Board. The Sustainability Committee evaluates ESG
performance and recommends adjustments, ensuring that sustainability risks and opportunities are proactively managed and
integrated into corporate strategy.
The Board of Directors, along with its committees, is in the early stages of establishing a structured process for receiving updates
on material sustainability impacts, risks, and opportunities. Currently, sustainability reporting to these governance bodies occurs
on an ad-hoc basis, with the intent to develop a more structured annual review cycle as the Company enhances its sustainability
governance mechanisms.
Audit Committee and Candidacy & Remuneration Committee
The Audit Committee at Autohellas is crucial in overseeing both the accurate reporting and effective implementation of the
company’s sustainability policy. The committee ensures that Autohellas' sustainability disclosures are transparent, reliable, and
fully compliant with Greek law and EU regulations and directives. This involves reviewing the company’s environmental, social,
and governance (ESG) reports, ensuring that all the information is comprehensive, accurate, and truly reflects the company’s
sustainability efforts. Additionally, the Audit Committee ensures that the sustainability policy is properly implemented across all
levels of the organization, integrating key sustainability objectives into both operational practices and strategic decision-making.
The Candidacy and Remuneration Committee at Autohellas plays a key role in aligning the company’s leadership with its
sustainability objectives by overseeing the selection of Board members and executives who are dedicated to advancing
sustainability initiatives.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024

Currently, the proportion of variable remuneration at Autohellas Group linked explicitly to sustainability-related targets and
impacts is 0%. At present, the company's remuneration framework does not formally incorporate sustainability performance
criteria. However, recognizing the growing importance of aligning remuneration with sustainability targets and the
recommendations of ESRS, the company intends to examine the possibility of integrating specific sustainability-related targets
into its variable remuneration policy in future periods. This examination will consider industry best practices, stakeholder
expectations, and internal strategic objectives, aiming to enhance alignment between executive incentives and long-term
sustainability performance.
More detailed information on the roles of the Audit Committee and Candidacy & Remuneration Committee is included in the
Corporate Governance Statement in the Board of Directors Report.
Due diligence
The Group, building on existing practices, is in the process of establishing due diligence processes in key areas such as human
rights, supply chain management, and stakeholder engagement, ensuring compliance with OECD guidelines. The Group is further
enhancing its due diligence framework to strengthen risk identification, impact mitigation, and ethical business conduct across its
operations and value chain.

operations. Autohellas Group has established structured communication channels with key stakeholder groups to understand
their expectations, address their concerns, and integrate their feedback into decision-making processes. By fostering open

Resilience of strategy and business model
Autohellas Group is committed to identifying and managing risks and opportunities arising from the transition to a sustainable
economy, as well as the broader impacts of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors on its operations. The Group aims
to conduct an in-depth analysis of climate transition risks and physical risks, recognizing that proactive assessment is essential for
the long-term resilience of its business model, strategy, and financial performance. While Autohellas actively integrates risk
management and adaptability into its strategic decision-making, a formal resilience analysis has not yet been conducted. This topic
is referenced under ESRS E1, where climate-related risks and opportunities are considered within the Group’s broader
sustainability strategy.
To date, the Group's assessment of climate-related material risks has been incorporated into its existing risk management
framework. To ensure resilience against identified risks, Autohellas acknowledges the importance of a strategic approach focused
on both climate mitigation and adaptation. The Group emphasizes continuous monitoring and assessment of emerging threats
while leveraging opportunities arising from the transition to a low-carbon economy. Additionally, the Group applies risk
management practices to address both acute and chronic material risks, particularly those associated with fleet emissions,
regulatory developments, and evolving customer preferences.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
54
The transition to more sustainable fleet operations contributes to mitigating transition risks linked to climate change. This includes
the gradual electrification of the fleet, the adoption of lower-emission vehicle technologies, and efforts to improve energy
efficiency across operations. To strengthen its ability to respond to climate challenges in the short, medium, and long term, the
Group maintains flexibility in adjusting its fleet composition and service portfolio to meet evolving regulatory and market
demands. Additionally, Autohellas recognizes the importance of employee training in sustainability-related topics, ensuring that
staff are well-equipped to support clients in transitioning to greener mobility solutions. By prioritizing these strategies, the Group
reinforces its resilience while pursuing long-term financial and operational stability.
Resilience Analysis
Autohellas recognizes the need for a more comprehensive resilience assessment of its business model. As such, the Group is
committed to further examining its strategic resilience in 2025 through an expanded assessment of climate-related risks and
opportunities.
As part of its strategic planning and climate risk management, Autohellas Group will conduct an in-depth assessment of potential
climate-related risks by exploring four distinct climate scenarios across the 2030, 2040, and 2050 time horizons. These scenarios
provide a structured framework for evaluating the financial, operational, and regulatory impacts of climate change on the Group’s
business model. They also help anticipate market shifts, changes in customer preferences, policy developments, and technological
advancements that could affect the mobility sector and vehicle rental industry.
The scenario analysis will enable Autohellas to:
Identify vulnerabilities and exposure to both transition risks (policy changes, market shifts, carbon pricing) and physical risks
(extreme weather events, infrastructure resilience).
Assess impacts on fleet composition, investment in electrification and alternative fuel vehicles, and the need for charging
infrastructure expansion.
Evaluate how consumer behavior and corporate mobility preferences may shift towards low-emission transportation
solutions.
Strengthen long-term business resilience by aligning its strategy with potential climate regulations and financial implications
of different climate trajectories.
v. Impact, risk and opportunity management
Identification of sustainability impacts, risks and opportunities
Sustainability-related impacts, risks, and opportunities are systematically evaluated and fully integrated within Autohellas Group's
broader corporate risk management framework, ensuring comprehensive alignment of ESG considerations with strategic planning,
operational activities, and major investment decisions.
In 2024, Autohellas Group continued its efforts to integrate sustainability impacts, risks, and opportunities into the company’s
broader risk management framework. The Company performed a Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) to further refine the
identification and evaluation of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impacts, risks, and opportunities.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
55
Particular emphasis was placed on climate-related risks, reflecting the growing importance of managing the impacts of climate
change on business operations, regulatory compliance, and financial performance. Events during the year reinforced the need for
proactive risk mitigation measures to address the evolving challenges posed by sustainability risks. Specifically, climate-related
impacts, risks, and opportunities influence the Group’s fleet transition strategies, capital investments, and allocation of resources.
Simultaneously, identified impacts and risks related to water management are considered in infrastructure decisions, operational
planning, and facility management to enhance resilience against water scarcity and related disruptions.
Employee health and safety considerations are embedded in operational policies and practices, shaping decisions regarding
working conditions, safety training programs, and emergency preparedness. Furthermore, opportunities for employee training
and development significantly influence decisions about resource allocation towards skill enhancement, sustainability awareness,
and capacity-building initiatives.
Risk management process
The Board of Directors holds ultimate responsibility for monitoring risks and maintaining a robust risk management and internal
control system. Autohellas Group has established an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) process that systematically identifies,
assesses, reports, and mitigates key operational, strategic, and sustainability risks across the organization. Each identified risk is
assigned to a risk owner within the Executive Management Team, supported by risk officers responsible for implementing
mitigation strategies within their respective areas.
The ERM framework follows a structured assessment methodology that evaluates risks based on their potential impact on financial
performance, operational continuity, regulatory compliance, reputation, and business resilience. A two-dimensional risk scale is
used to estimate both the severity of potential risks and the likelihood of their occurrence.
The Executive Management Team, the Audit Committee, and the Board of Directors review and assess the most significant risks
on a semi-annual basis, ensuring that emerging risks are adequately addressed, and mitigation strategies remain effective.
Double materiality methodology
Alongside the ERM process, Autohellas Group conducts an annual update of its Double Materiality Assessment (DMA), which
focuses on identifying sustainability risks across environmental, social, and governance areas. This assessment ensures that
sustainability-related risks and opportunities are incorporated into strategic planning and risk management processes.
This process is performed in accordance with the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the relevant ESRS.
Moving forward, the company will continue refining the integration of sustainability risks within the ERM framework, ensuring
that ESG considerations are embedded into corporate decision-making and operational strategies.
Autohellas Group applies a structured and data-driven approach to identifying, assessing, and prioritizing material impacts, risks,
and opportunities related to its business activities. This process is informed by industry benchmarking, expert consultation,
stakeholder feedback, and regulatory due diligence to ensure a comprehensive assessment of sustainability-related factors.
The identification and assessment process incorporates benchmarking against industry peers and best practices to align with
evolving market trends and regulatory expectations. Expert input from internal and external sustainability specialists, risk analysts,
and sector advisors plays a key role in refining impact assessment models. The Group closely monitors regulatory and policy
developments, particularly in relation to the EU Green Deal, CSRD, and climate transition regulations, to anticipate compliance
risks and strategic opportunities. Stakeholder engagement is also a fundamental component, with insights from investors,
customers, suppliers, and employees informing the assessment of ESG-related risks and opportunities. Additionally, Autohellas
reviews operational data, including fleet emissions, resource consumption, to quantify potential environmental and social
impacts.

To prioritize risks and opportunities, Autohellas conducts materiality assessments that categorize impacts based on their financial,
operational, regulatory, and reputational significance. Scenario analysis and stress testing are key tools in evaluating climate-
related risks, allowing the Group to anticipate vulnerabilities and adapt its long-term strategy accordingly. Continuous monitoring
of sustainability indicators is integrated into business operations, leveraging data analytics and reporting tools to track progress
against ESG commitments.
The Group’s due diligence framework ensures that both potential and actual impacts on people, the environment, and business
continuity are regularly reviewed and incorporated into strategic decision-making. This proactive approach enables Autohellas to
adapt to emerging risks, capitalize on sustainability-driven opportunities, and enhance corporate resilience in alignment with ESRS
reporting requirements.
Autohellas Group has established a systematic approach to identifying, assessing, prioritizing, and monitoring sustainability-
related impacts, risks, and opportunities. This approach is informed by a due diligence framework, stakeholder engagement,
expert input, and industry benchmarking, integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into the overall
risk management and strategic planning process.
Methodologies and assumptions applied in identifying impacts, risks, and opportunities
The Group applies a data-driven and risk-based methodology to assess the materiality of sustainability-related impacts, risks, and
opportunities. This includes quantitative and qualitative analysis of external and internal data sources, industry standards,
regulatory requirements, and expert evaluations.
The identification process incorporates insights from regulatory frameworks such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting
Directive (CSRD), EU Taxonomy, and Paris Agreement commitments, as well as sector-specific risks associated with mobility and
vehicle renting. Assumptions are based on historical performance data, predictive modeling, and scenario analysis to anticipate
future trends and potential regulatory developments affecting fleet management, emissions, and sustainable mobility solutions.
Process to Identify, Assess, Prioritize, and Monitor Potential and Actual Impacts
Autohellas systematically assesses sustainability impacts using risk classification models, materiality assessment methodologies,
and sustainability reporting frameworks. The process includes:
Screening and data collection: The Group gathers sustainability-related data, regulatory updates, and market intelligence to
identify emerging risks and opportunities.
Impact assessment: Each impact is evaluated based on severity, likelihood, and financial, environmental, and social
implications.
Prioritization and categorization: Impacts are classified as 1-Low, 2-Low-Medium, 3-Medium, 4-Medium-High, 5-High priority
based on their relevance to stakeholders, financial performance, and regulatory compliance.
Monitoring and continuous improvement: A review mechanism ensures that risks and opportunities are regularly reassessed,
with findings integrated into strategic decision-making.
Focus on specific activities, business relationships, and geographies with heightened risk
The risk identification process prioritizes areas where Autohellas is most exposed to sustainability-related impacts, including:
Fleet operations: Emissions from leased and rented vehicles contribute to climate-related risks.
Geographical exposure: Operations in regions with varying environmental regulations influence compliance strategies.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
57
Stakeholder consultation and external expert engagement
Autohellas engages with internal and external stakeholders to ensure a holistic view of sustainability risks and opportunities, which
includes incorporating insights from sustainability consultants, industry reports, ESG rating agencies, and academic research to
enhance decision-making.
In the next steps, the Group will actively enhance its stakeholder engagement efforts by gathering direct feedback from customers
through structured surveys, targeted focus groups, and qualitative interviews. This initiative aims to gain deeper insights into
customer expectations, preferences, and sustainability concerns, particularly regarding mobility trends, vehicle electrification, and
service improvements. These efforts will support the Group in aligning its strategic priorities with customer expectations,
identifying emerging opportunities for service innovation, and ensuring that sustainability initiatives are customer-centric and
market-relevant.
Prioritization of negative and positive impacts for materiality determination
Negative impacts are prioritized based on severity, likelihood, regulatory exposure, and stakeholder concerns, ensuring that the
most significant sustainability matters are reported. Positive impacts, such as electrification of fleet vehicles and sustainable
financing opportunities, are assessed based on their potential scale, strategic alignment, and business value.
Process for identifying and monitoring financially material risks and opportunities
Autohellas integrates financial impact assessments into its ESG risk management framework. Sustainability-related risks are
assessed for potential financial effects, including regulatory fines, market demand shifts, and operational cost fluctuations.
Opportunities are evaluated in terms of competitive advantages, cost savings, and revenue generation from low-emission mobility
solutions.
Identifying dependencies from stakeholders and business relationships
Autohellas Group recognizes that sustainability-related impacts and dependencies are interconnected with risks and
opportunities, influencing both short-term operational resilience and long-term strategic positioning. The Group systematically
analyzes how its business activities, stakeholder relationships, and value chain dependencies contribute to material sustainability
impacts and how these, in turn, create financial and non-financial risks and opportunities.
Autohellas operates within a complex ecosystem of stakeholders, including suppliers, customers, regulators, investors, employees,
and local communities. Each stakeholder group contributes to sustainability dependencies that influence the Group’s exposure to
risks and opportunities.
Human talent: For Autohellas, human talent is a key strategic dependency, as employee expertise and adaptability are critical
to implementing sustainability initiatives, enhancing customer experience, and driving innovation in fleet management.
Ensuring that the workforce is trained in emerging mobility trends, digital transformation, and ESG-related best practices is
essential for maintaining operational efficiency and regulatory compliance.
Suppliers: The Group relies on vehicle manufacturers for fleet procurement, making it dependent on their sustainability
practices, emissions reduction strategies, and supply chain transparency.
Customers and market demand: Consumer preferences for low-emission vehicles, electric mobility, and sustainable
transportation solutions are evolving due to regulatory incentives and awareness of climate change. Autohellas depends on
consumer demand trends, where failing to adapt to the shift toward zero-emission fleets presents a market risk, whereas
proactive investment in EV infrastructure and green leasing options presents a competitive opportunity.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
58
Regulators and policymakers: The Group's operational framework is shaped by EU and national regulations on fleet emissions,
carbon pricing, and vehicle taxation policies. Any tightening of environmental regulations poses a regulatory compliance risk,
while early adoption of sustainability measures aligns the Group with future mobility incentives and low-emission vehicle
subsidies.
Investors and financial institutions: Investors are increasingly integrating ESG performance into investment criteria.
Autohellas' ability to attract sustainability-linked financing depends on its progress in fleet electrification, emissions reduction,
and corporate governance transparency. Strong ESG performance presents an opportunity for lower-cost capital, while non-
compliance with sustainability expectations may pose a reputational and financial risk.
Assessment of likelihood, magnitude, and nature of identified risks and opportunities
Each risk and opportunity is assessed based on:
Likelihood of occurrence (e.g., regulatory developments, technology adoption rates)
Magnitude of potential impact (e.g., financial loss, reputation damage, operational disruption)
Short-, medium-, and long-term implications on business strategy and risk exposure
Prioritization of sustainability-related risks relative to other risks
Autohellas Group integrates sustainability-related risks into its overall Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework, ensuring
that environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks are assessed alongside financial, operational, strategic, and compliance
risks. The prioritization of these risks is based on likelihood, magnitude of impact, and alignment with long-term business
objectives, ensuring that sustainability considerations are embedded into decision-making processes at the Board and executive
management level.
Sustainability risks, particularly climate transition risks, regulatory compliance risks, and supply chain dependencies, have been
classified as strategic business risks due to their potential to impact fleet procurement, financial performance, and customer
demand trends. The Board of Directors and the Risk Management Committee review sustainability risks as part of the overall risk
assessment process, ensuring that they are monitored, mitigated, and integrated into corporate strategy.
Compared to traditional financial and operational risks, sustainability-related risks have gained increasing priority due to evolving
EU regulatory requirements (e.g., CSRD, EU Taxonomy, and fleet decarbonization policies), as well as growing market expectations
for sustainable mobility solutions. Risks such as carbon pricing mechanisms, mandatory fleet electrification targets, and supply
chain ESG compliance requirements are now considered high-priority, given their direct financial and strategic implications.
The Group ranks sustainability risks based on a materiality assessment that considers potential financial exposure, reputational
impact, and business continuity risks. Climate transition risks, for example, are assessed not only in terms of compliance costs but
also as strategic opportunities, such as the potential for accessing green financing, expanding low-emission vehicle offerings, and
enhancing competitive positioning.
Autohellas also recognizes that sustainability risks often intersect with other corporate risk categories, such as supply chain
disruptions, technological advancements, and consumer preference shifts. For this reason, sustainability risks are not treated as
standalone risks but rather integrated into broader financial and operational risk assessments. This ensures that investment
decisions, fleet strategy, and long-term growth planning are aligned with the Group’s climate-related and ESG objectives.
Decision-making and internal control procedures
Sustainability-related risks and opportunities are reviewed at the Board and executive level, with findings incorporated into
investment decisions, fleet procurement policies, and carbon reduction strategies. Internal control procedures ensure compliance
with ESG disclosure standards and regulatory requirements.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024

Integration of impact and risk assessment into overall risk management
Sustainability risk assessments are embedded into Autohellas’ overall risk management processes, ensuring alignment with
corporate governance, compliance monitoring, and strategic risk mitigation measures. ESG risk exposure is integrated into
enterprise risk reporting, scenario planning, and stress testing exercises.
Integration of opportunity management into overall strategy
Autohellas identifies opportunities linked to sustainable mobility, fleet electrification, and evolving consumer preferences for low-
emission vehicles. These opportunities are incorporated into business development strategies, investment planning, and
partnerships with automotive manufacturers.
Input parameters used in identifying, assessing, and managing impacts, risks, and opportunities
Autohellas relies on scientific data, regulatory frameworks, industry reports, and internal performance metrics to assess material
risks and opportunities.
Key input parameters include:
EU regulatory trends and policy roadmaps
Emissions projections
Technology adoption forecasts for electric and hybrid vehicles
Market demand analysis for sustainable mobility solutions
Non-material ESRS topics
In line with the requirements of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), Autohellas Group has assessed
sustainability topics for materiality based on their potential impacts on people, the environment, and the company's financial
performance. Following this comprehensive double materiality assessment, certain sustainability topics were determined not to
be material for the Group's operations and stakeholders.
The following topics were not assessed as material:
ESRS E2 Pollution
ESRS E3 Water and marine resources
ESRS E4 - Biodiversity and ecosystems
ESRS E5 - Circular economy
ESRS S2 - Workers in the value chain
ESRS S3 - Affected communities
vi. Double Materiality Assessment (DMA)
Autohellas Group applies a structured materiality assessment process to determine the material impacts, risks, and opportunities
(IROs) that are disclosed in its sustainability reporting. This process ensures that disclosures reflect both the significance of
sustainability-related factors for stakeholders and their potential financial implications for the company.
The identification and prioritization of material information follow a dual materiality approach, incorporating both impact
materiality (how the company affects people and the environment) and financial materiality (how sustainability-related factors
affect the company’s financial position and performance).
The table below presents the results of Autohellas Group’s double materiality assessment, outlining the identified impacts, risks,
and opportunities for each topical ESRS standard:
The descriptions of the impacts, risks and opportunities are analyzed in each topical chapter of the Sustainability Statement.

2. Environment
2.1 Disclosures according to the European Taxonomy (EU Taxonomy)
The EU Taxonomy is the European Union classification system of activities that can under certain conditions be considered as
environmentally sustainable or as activities that enable the transition to environmental sustainability. Under the Taxonomy
regulation, companies and organizations can attract funds to develop their sustainable activities as well as expand them further,
provided they meet certain criteria.
The criteria that determine the level of sustainability of certain economic activities are set by the Taxonomy Regulation
(2020/852/EU). In order to achieve sustainability of its economic development, the European Union has stipulated 6
environmental objectives, the achievement of which will advance sustainable development within the Union. Specifically, the
environmental targets at the center of the Taxonomy framework are the following:
1. Climate change mitigation;
2. Climate change adaptation;
3. The sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources;
4. The transition to a circular economy;
5. Pollution prevention and control;
6. The protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
61
The delegated acts adopted under the Taxonomy Regulation provide technical screening criteria which must also be met to
constitute taxonomy alignment. At the moment of publication of the present, report the Taxonomy-eligible activities have been
set out by 2 Delegated Acts currently in force. In 2021, the EU adopted the first Delegated Act 2021/2139 (EU) which set out
activities and technical screening criteria for substantial contribution towards objectives 1-2 above, including DNSH criteria for
other objectives. Moreover, in 2023, the second Delegated Act 2023/2486 (EU) was published with regard to activities
significantly contributing to environmental objectives 3-6 above.
The achievement of one or several of the above-mentioned targets provides an economic activity with the status of sustainable,
transitional or enabling according to their alignment to the Taxonomy framework. Specifically, depending on whether the
activity has the potential to be conducted in a fully sustainable way at present, whether it can help the economy transition to a
more sustainable model or whether it can allow other activities to be conducted sustainably, the economic activities have been
designates into different subgroups. In order to be considered aligned to the EU Taxonomy, an economic activity must fulfil all of
the following criteria:
Contributes substantially to one or more of the environmental objectives set out in the Regulation
Does not significantly harm any of the environmental objectives set out in the Regulation
Is carried out in compliance with the minimum safeguards laid down in the Regulation
Complies with technical screening criteria stipulated by the Commission for each economic activity towards the
achievement of the environmental targets of the Taxonomy.
The Taxonomy framework provisions that are effective on the date of the present report, require from in-scope companies to
disclose the amount and proportion of activities which are eligible, non-eligible and aligned with the all the above objectives as
part of their total turnover, capital and operational expenditure and to perform related alignment assessments for all such
activities. All the quantitative information is accompanied by certain qualitative information for all objectives (1-6). The Group
applied Regulation (EU) 2020/852 as supplemented with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139, Commission
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2485 and Commission Delegated Regulation
(EU) 2023/2486 to identify activities that are eligible.
The compliance with said criteria is monitored continuously and reported on an annual basis, included in the non-financial
section of the respective annual financial statements. As part of the Taxonomy reporting process, we disclose in the following
section the key performance indicators relating to our economic activities for the FY2024.

2.2 Climate Change Mitigation
i. Strategy and Business model
The climate strategy of the Autohellas Group primarily aims at enhancing electric mobility and, more generally, the use of zero
and low-emission vehicles to support the limitation of global warming to 1.5°C, in accordance with the Paris Agreement. The
Group's targeted approach includes the systematic increase of low and zero-emission vehicles in the rental fleet, the adoption of
hybrid and fully electric vehicles, and the reduction of the overall emissions intensity of the fleet. The Group regularly monitors
Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, aiming to mitigate climate change.
A core element in the effort to reduce the Group's carbon footprint is the implementation of initiatives that facilitate the transition
of the vehicle rental fleet to electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and vehicles that meet strict low-
emission standards (≤50 gr CO₂/km). Beyond fleet renewal, the Group also emphasizes energy efficiency improvements at its
facilities and promotes a sustainable development culture among employees through targeted training and awareness programs.
These practices extend throughout the supply chain, including supplier management to ensure environmental compliance across
the chain.
Autohellas recognizes that the prevalence of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles in its rental fleet poses significant risks for
trapped greenhouse gas emissions. To mitigate this risk and reduce emission intensity, the Group consistently implements fleet
renewal strategies and increases electric mobility. By integrating low or zero-emission vehicles into the rental fleet, the Group
aims to significantly reduce emissions intensity, demonstrating the effectiveness of its proactive transition measures. These
ongoing efforts to replace high-emission vehicles with alternative low-emission vehicles and improvements in operational
efficiency highlight the Group’s active management of transition risks, ensuring alignment with long-term emission reduction
targets.
It is noted that Autohellas is not excluded from the EU Paris-Aligned Benchmarks (EU PAB), as it does not operate in sectors that
lead to automatic exclusion according to the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1818, such as fossil fuel extraction, high-emission
electricity generation, or the manufacturing of controversial weapons.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024

Governance and Oversight
The Autohellas Group manages climate-related issues directly through the Board of Directors, ensuring oversight and
accountability at the highest level. The Board monitors the implementation of the company’s climate strategy and may adjust its
approach based on evolving sustainability priorities and regulatory requirements.
Currently, climate-related performance indicators have not been incorporated into the management's compensation or
evaluation structure. Executive compensation is determined based on broader financial and operational criteria, without a specific
link to greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets or other sustainability parameters.
Policies and Objectives
Autohellas recognizes the importance of official policies concerning mitigation and adaptation to climate change, but currently
does not have explicit, formal climate policies. The Group specifically supports electric mobility either through the acquisition of
electric or hybrid models, which produce fewer CO2 emissions compared to conventional gasoline or diesel vehicles, in its short-
term rental business, or through partnerships, and actively works to reduce the impact of emissions on the climate through
practical measures, such as the electrification of its vehicle fleet, the integration of vehicles that meet strict emission standards
(≤50g CO₂/km), and the implementation of energy efficiency improvements at its operational facilities. Climate adaptation
parameters are also informally examined through initiatives aimed at strengthening the resilience and continuity of fleet
operations and infrastructure against potential disruptions due to climate change. Standardization and documentation of these
measures in explicit policies remain an area for improvement, with the Group committed to developing formal policies in the near
future.
Resilience Analysis
Autohellas recognizes the importance of conducting a thorough resilience analysis of its business model and climate strategy. The
Group has not yet completed such an official analysis but has set a clear goal to conduct and disclose this detailed resilience
assessment in accordance with the ESRS disclosure requirements in the next reporting period.
Transition Plan
The Autohellas Group acknowledges the importance of a structured transition plan to address sustainability risks and
opportunities and ensure the long-term resilience and sustainability of the business. While the Group has not yet officially adopted
a transition plan, it is currently evaluating the macroeconomic environment, market trends, as well as the regulatory and
compliance framework, and is committed to developing a comprehensive program that will establish clear targets and pathways
for reducing its environmental footprint and enhancing long-term sustainability.
For this purpose, Autohellas aims to develop and adopt a transition plan, to be implemented by January 1, 2026, which will include
measurable targets and align with international best practices and regulatory requirements. Additionally, the Group plans to
integrate its future transition plan into its overall business strategy and financial planning. This integration will ensure that
sustainability parameters are incorporated into decision-making processes, investment priorities, and operational frameworks.
The transition plan will align with the Group’s strategic objectives, focusing on key areas such as fleet electrification, energy
efficiency, emission reduction, and responsible supply chain management. Financial planning will include the necessary capital
expenditures and investments in operations to support the execution of transition initiatives, ensuring that sustainability targets
are achieved without compromising financial stability and growth.
Once officially developed by the Sustainability Committee, the transition plan will be subject to review and approval by the Board
of Directors. The Board will oversee the implementation of the plan, monitoring progress and adjusting strategies as necessary to
respond to new risks and opportunities.

ii. Impacts, Risks and Opportunities Management
The Autohellas Group systematically recognizes and assesses climate impacts, risks, and opportunities through structured internal
evaluations. The Group acknowledges that its operations have a significant environmental impact due to the high percentage of
internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles in its fleet, which contribute significantly to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
In contrast, the increased integration of electric and hybrid vehicles into the Group's fleet has a positive impact on local air quality
and reduces overall emissions, aligning its operations more closely with sustainability targets.
The analysis below presents the main recognized impacts, risks, and opportunities for the Autohellas Group related to climate
change mitigation, as well as the actions taken to address them:
Impacts
Description
Impact
Emissions from internal-combustion engines of vehicle fleet
Actual negative
impact

Actual positive
impact
Autohellas acknowledges that a significant percentage of its rental fleet consists of vehicles powered by internal combustion
engines (ICE). These vehicles contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, negatively affecting air quality in cities and
exacerbating climate change. Additionally, since the majority of the Group’s operational emissions stem from fuel consumption
within its fleet, this constitutes a substantial environmental footprint that the Group is actively working to reduce through targeted
fleet renewal and optimization strategies.
In contrast, the Group's ongoing investments in electric mobility and the integration of hybrid vehicles are beginning to yield
significant positive impacts. The progressive integration of electric and hybrid vehicles into the rental fleet significantly reduces
the fleet’s emission intensity, positively contributing to the improvement of local air quality and the reduction of global climate
change. Hybrid vehicles emit significantly fewer pollutantsup to 80% fewer emissions compared to traditional internal
combustion engine vehiclesthus enhancing public health and environmental quality, particularly in densely populated urban
areas.
Although the Group has made steady progress towards electrifying its fleet, the pace of integrating electric vehicles (EVs) and
hybrid vehicles is gradual. This slow transition is influenced by various external factors, such as limited charging infrastructure and
consumer uncertainty regarding electric vehicle technology. It is noteworthy that electric mobility is supported by tax, financial,
and other incentives from the regulatory frameworks of Greece and the European Union, aiming to increase the use of zero- and
low-emission vehicles by both individuals and companies.
Risks
Description
Impact
Faster depreciation and uncertainty in the resale of electric (BEV) and hybrid (PHEV) vehicles due to
technological advancements.
Risk
The rapid pace of technological advancements in the market for electric (BEV) and hybrid (PHEV) vehicles creates uncertainty
regarding their residual values and resale dynamics, leading to faster depreciation and financial uncertainty for the Group. To
address this, the Autohellas Group closely monitors market trends and technological developments and strategically manages
fleet renewal cycles by assessing the useful life of the vehicles.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024

Opportunities
Description
Impact
Reduced operating costs due to lower maintenance needs of EVs compared to ICE vehicles
Opportunity
Increased demand driven by customer awareness of sustainable mobility solutions
Opportunity
Tax benefits from support measures for low-emission vehicles (below 50g CO₂/km)
Opportunity
Reduction in financing costs through sustainability-linked financing with favorable terms
Opportunity
An opportunity lies in the potential to reduce operating expenses through electric vehicles (EVs) compared to traditional internal
combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Specifically, EVs have far fewer moving parts, and as a result, the need for regular maintenance
and repairs is limited to consumables and materials subject to natural wear and tear, such as filters, tires, and brakes. Additionally,
the number of visits required for an electric vehicle is lower than for an internal combustion engine vehicle, thereby freeing up
human resources to increase the capacity for visits at the Group’s owned facilities/workshops. In terms of consumption, and
despite inflationary increases in energy prices, the energy cost remains lower than fuel consumption. All of the above contribute
to reducing the total cost of ownership of an electric vehicle throughout its lifecycle, positively impacting the overall business
efficiency and profitability of the Group.
Additionally, the increasing consumer awareness and preference for sustainable mobility solutions represent another significant
opportunity for the Autohellas Group. As consumers become more environmentally conscious and show growing demand for eco-
friendly products and services, the Group is positioned to capture a larger market share by expanding its offering of electric and
hybrid vehicles. Meeting this demand through targeted marketing strategies and personalized product offers can enhance
customer loyalty and brand differentiation, further strengthening the Autohellas Group's position in the competitive market.
Moreover, the Group benefits from favorable tax incentives and regulatory support measures specifically designed to promote
electric vehicles and low-emission vehicles. Electric vehicles and those emitting less than 50g CO₂/km are eligible for financial
incentives and tax reliefs, such as accelerated depreciation, significantly improving the financial attractiveness of transitioning to
electric and hybrid vehicle fleets.
Finally, the Autohellas Group recognizes a valuable opportunity to reduce financing costs through access to sustainability-linked
financing, which generally offers more favorable terms, such as lower interest rates, to help businesses achieve their climate
transition targets. This opportunity is directly linked to the Company’s significant investment plan, amounting to 450 million euros
(2022-2026), which is being implemented through co-financing agreements under Greece’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan
("Greece 2.0"). This initiative includes 225 million euros from the Recovery and Resilience Fund, 135 million euros funded by Greek
banks, and a direct contribution of 90 million euros from Autohellas itself. This investment aims at the gradual renewal and
expansion of the fleet through the introduction of electric and hybrid vehicles, which meet strict emission standards (≤50g
CO₂/km). The vehicles acquired under this plan emit about 80% fewer pollutants compared to their predecessors, significantly
advancing the Group's efforts to mitigate climate change. Furthermore, these initiatives led to an approximately 49% increase, for
2024, compared to the previous year, in capital expenditures related to low-emission vehicles.
iii. Metrics , objectives and accounting policies
Objectives
The Group aims to reduce the intensity of direct greenhouse gas emissions from its activities through the adoption of clean
technologies and the improvement of production processes. Additionally, the Group is committed to reducing energy and
resource consumption at its facilities. Despite the fact that the Group has not yet officially adopted a transition plan, it is
currently evaluating the current macroeconomic environment, market trends, as well as the institutional and regulatory
compliance framework, and is committed to creating a comprehensive program that will set clear targets and pathways for
reducing its environmental footprint and enhancing long-term sustainability.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
69
Specifically, the Group aims to achieve measurable annual reductions in Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions, targeting an annual
decrease in emissions intensity, calculated in tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) per million euros of revenue, as reported in its
consolidated financial statements. By setting these intensity targets, the Group ensures comparability and transparency in its
climate performance, firmly linking its economic growth with its environmental impact.
Regarding fleet management, Autohellas Group is committed to gradually increasing the share of low- and zero-emission vehicles
in its fleet, aiming for a significant reduction in the fleet’s average emissions intensity. This commitment, which requires substantial
capital expenditure, will be partially realized through the Group’s aforementioned co-financed investment plan. By 2030, the
Group aims for a significant reduction in total rental fleet emissions, prioritizing the acquisition of electric vehicles and vehicles
emitting ≤50 grams of CO₂ per kilometer.
The Group also aims to improve the energy efficiency of its operations, particularly by achieving continuous annual reductions in
total energy consumption across its facilities.
Finally, Autohellas Group intends to conduct a detailed resilience analysis of its business model and climate strategy, as well as to
develop a structured transition plan to address sustainability risks and opportunities, ensuring the long-term resilience and
viability of the business.
The Group considers 2024 as the baseline year for calculating climate-related indicators. Information on the following KPIs will be
reported in the next financial year's report:

Accounting Policies
Scope 1 emissions primarily originate from the fuel consumption of the Group's fleet of rental vehicles, for which the Group
maintains operational control. This category also includes corporate vehicles used for operational needs. Additionally, Scope 1
emissions include those resulting from the consumption of natural gas and heating oil at the Group’s facilities.
Emissions produced by leased and rented vehicles during their use by customers are estimated based on standardized fuel
consumption indicators per vehicle category and average mileage data.
Scope 2 emissions are associated with electricity consumption at the Group’s facilities, which is supplied by external energy
providers. Electricity is used to meet the energy needs of building facilities, including heating, as well as for charging electric and
plug-in hybrid fleet vehicles at company-owned charging stations. The calculation of consumption for Scope 2 emissions is based
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
71
on the recorded energy consumption amounts in energy provider invoices. For the market-based emissions calculation, factors
provided by the Public Authority for Energy Resource Utilization and the Environment, as well as local energy providers, are used.
For the location-based emissions calculation, the emission factors of the local energy grid are applied.
Scope 3 emissions include emissions from employee transportation to the headquarters by an external partner company (Category
7, according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol for Emissions Calculation and Reporting). They also include emissions from energy
consumption by a third-party company housed in corporate facilities but not classified as a subsidiary (Category 13). This metric
reflects the equivalent carbon dioxide (CO₂eq) emissions resulting from activities not directly controlled by the company but
related to external partners and other entities.
The total fossil energy consumption and total renewable energy consumption account for the proportion of electricity derived
from fossil fuels and renewable sources within the overall energy mix. These metrics provide an overview of energy consumption
and its distribution between traditional (fossil) and sustainable (renewable) sources.
Total nuclear energy consumption exclusively refers to the percentage of energy derived from nuclear sources within the
electricity mix.
Finally, it is noted that Autohellas Group does not implement carbon pricing mechanisms, such as internal carbon pricing or
emissions trading systems, nor does it participate in voluntary offset programs, greenhouse gas removal projects, or greenhouse
gas mitigation projects funded through carbon credits. Additionally, the Group does not purchase Guarantees of Origin (GOs) for
the electricity it consumes, meaning that its energy supply is not certified as coming from renewable sources.
2.3 Water and Marine Resources
Autohellas Group operates an extensive network of more than 140 car rental locations, several of which are situated in island
areas that may experience increasing water shortages due to geographical constraints, increased seasonal tourism, and variability
related to climate change. Under these operational conditions, Autohellas Group primarily draws water for vehicle cleaning, either
at owned washing facilities or through collaborating parties, and disposes most of it into municipal sewage facilities.
i. Management of impacts, risks, and opportunities
Although water scarcity is not currently a critical operational constraint for Autohellas, the Group recognizes its strategic
importance as a vital natural resource and its potential impact on rental activities. However, at present, it does not have sufficient
data or information to allow for an informed assessment of the water impact, nor can it formulate reliable assumptions on the
matter.
Therefore, while acknowledging the importance of water management in the context of sustainability, it is not able, based on
available data, to incorporate it as a material issue in its strategy. At the same time, it commits to re-examine the issue and seek
to collect the necessary information in order to draw reliable conclusions and conduct an informed assessment in the future.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
72
The activities associated primarily with short-term, as well as long-term fleet rentals, require systematic cleaning of vehicles,
leading to significant water consumption, which could potentially impact water usage in regions experiencing water scarcity.
To mitigate this impact, Autohellas Group commits to implementing targeted actions aimed at reducing water consumption within
its fleet cleaning operations. The Group will explore and adopt waterless or water-efficient cleaning solutions wherever feasible,
significantly decreasing its dependency on water resources.
Autohellas will also initiate awareness and training programs for employees responsible for fleet cleaning, emphasizing best
practices for efficient water management.
Related Policies
At present, the Autohellas Group has not established a specific water management policy. However, recognizing the increasing
importance of water resources and the evolving regulatory framework, the Group is actively developing a comprehensive water
management strategy. This strategy, which is scheduled to be implemented in the medium term, includes intermediate
milestones and preparatory actions. The development of this policy is under the supervision of the Sustainability Committee in
collaboration with the Risk and Compliance Management Unit, ensuring compliance with regulatory expectations and
international best practices.

workforce, analyzing the characteristics, environment, and responsibilities that may expose certain employee specialties to
increased risks. This approach involves identifying roles or activities that may require greater physical effort, increased exposure
to security risks, or higher levels of stress, as well as implementing targeted measures to mitigate these risks. Employees in
operational positions may face different challenges compared to those in managerial roles. The essential risks and opportunities
arising from these impacts are closely linked to specific groups of employees, such as those in high-intensity demanding roles,
who benefit from enhanced health and safety protocols, or specialized professionals, who require continuous training to adapt to
new technologies and sustainability practices. By proactively addressing these risks and opportunities, Autohellas ensures that all
employees, regardless of role or work environment, are supported and protected, reinforcing its commitment to a safe, inclusive,
and resilient workforce.

Policies
Autohellas maintains strict policies and procedures to ensure compliance with international labor standards and human rights
principles in all its activities and supply chain. There are no exceptions within the company's workforce, as Autohellas is committed
to providing equal opportunities and protection to all employees, regardless of role or type of employment.
The Autohellas Group has policies that prioritize the health, safety, development, and equal opportunities of employees. The
Group ensures a safe and protected work environment by implementing occupational health and safety practices across all its
facilities, with particular emphasis on minimizing risks associated with the use of machinery and extreme weather conditions.
The Group's Health and Safety Policy reflects the company's deep commitment to creating a safe and supportive environment for
all those involved in its activities, without exceptions. The policy aligns with internationally recognized standards, such as ISO
45001, and complies with local regulatory requirements, ensuring the highest levels of compliance. In developing the policy, the
company carefully considers the needs and interests of key stakeholders, including employees, external partners, and the broader
community. The policy includes practical measures such as regular risk assessments, tailored training programs, clearly defined
emergency response procedures, and a continuous effort to improve safety.
The senior management oversees the implementation of the policy, while the Board of Directors bears the final responsibility for
its success. To ensure transparency and accessibility, the policy is communicated through multiple channels, such as the company's
internal network, training sessions, as well as communications from the Risk Management and Compliance Unit and the Human
Resources Department. In this way, it is ensured that all those affected by the policy or responsible for its implementation are
fully informed and able to contribute to creating a safe and healthy work environment.
Respect for human rights and labor standards is embedded in the administrative practices of the Autohellas Group, with a strict
prohibition of violations such as forced labor, child labor, and modern slavery. Employees have the opportunity to confidentially
report any concerns or violations through the established reporting mechanism, ensuring the prompt investigation of incidents
and the implementation of appropriate measures.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
76
Although Autohellas does not currently maintain a specialized policy exclusively focused on diversity, equality, and inclusion, it
remains fully compliant with national and European legislation regarding the fight against discrimination and equal treatment.
The promotion of equal opportunities and the cultivation of a multicultural and inclusive work environment is a fundamental
principle for Autohellas. Recognizing and respecting the unique backgrounds and lifestyles of its employees, the Group actively
supports all employees by offering them fair and equal opportunities for professional development and improvement.
In addition to the aforementioned policies, the Autohellas Group has designed and implemented a Policy Against Violence and
Harassment, which reflects the company's steadfast commitment to creating a safe, respectful, and inclusive work environment
for all employees, external partners, and stakeholders. The policy defines violence and harassment as any behavior, act, practice,
or threat that can cause physical, psychological, sexual, or economic harm, whether it occurs individually or repeatedly. It explicitly
refers to harassment incidents that offend personal dignity or create a bullying, hostile, or offensive environment, including
gender-based harassment, sexual harassment, and discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender
expression. The policy applies to all individuals working with or for the company, regardless of their employment status, including
employees, external partners, trainees, and interns. It covers incidents that occur within the work environment, during business
trips, in company-provided spaces (such as break rooms, locker rooms, or accommodations), as well as through professional
communications, including digital platforms. The company strictly prohibits all forms of violence and harassment, including
gender-based harassment and sexual harassment, implementing a zero-tolerance approach towards such behaviors. Autohellas
is committed to receiving, investigating, and addressing all complaints with absolute confidentiality and respect for human dignity,
ensuring that there are no barriers to reporting incidents. The policy emphasizes critical areas of implementation, such as regular
training and informing employees about the recognition and prevention of workplace violence and harassment, conducting risk
assessments, and promoting a culture of respect, diversity, and inclusion. An authorized compliance officer, in collaboration with
the internal audit team, is responsible for managing incidents, supporting affected employees, and ensuring that all cases are
handled with discretion and fairness. Additionally, Autohellas ensures that all employees, during their onboarding process, are
informed about their rights, the relevant legal framework, and the procedures for reporting and addressing incidents, fostering a
work environment where respect and safety are top priorities.
The Group systematically monitors the effectiveness of these policies through regular training programs for employees, structured
complaint submission procedures, continuous incident recording, and feedback from human resources, ensuring their ongoing
and effective implementation.
Interaction with own Human Resources
The Autohellas Group maintains regular and transparent communication with its employees through structured channels, such as
the open-door policy and the internal intranet platform. Employees can openly communicate concerns, suggestions, or comments
directly with supervisors and senior management, ensuring continuous exchange of views and immediate response. This becomes
particularly important given the absence of official employee representatives.
The senior management, with the support of the department heads, bears the operational responsibility for ensuring the effective
engagement of employees throughout the organization. Autohellas evaluates the effectiveness of these engagement practices
through regular employee satisfaction surveys and analysis of their feedback.
The conclusions drawn from employee engagement directly influence the company's decisions, particularly on issues related to
job security, training and skill development initiatives, working conditions, and diversity and inclusion policies. Through continuous
communication, the Group ensures that employee opinions actively shape workplace practices, thereby enhancing workforce
satisfaction, operational efficiency, and organizational resilience.

Addressing negative impacts
The Autohellas Group recognizes the importance of promptly addressing any concerns expressed by its personnel, especially when
these may have a negative impact on them. The Group has established procedures for the management and restoration of these
impacts in an immediate and effective manner.
Employees at Autohellas have access to multiple internal channels to directly express their concerns or needs. These include
direct communication with supervisors and administrative teams through the Group's established "open-door" policy, as well as
electronic channels such as the corporate intranet, which allows for confidential and effective reporting of issues. Additionally,
Autohellas provides a central complaint line through which employees can confidentially report grievances or complaints related
to working conditions, health and safety, ethical violations, human rights, and other workplace issues. This channel is managed
internally, enhancing employee trust and ensuring complete confidentiality.
Autohellas systematically monitors and records the issues reported through these mechanisms. The Group maintains detailed
records of reported concerns, ensures timely responses, and evaluates the effectiveness of corrective actions. Regular audits by
senior management confirm that these channels remain effective and reliable. To further support continuous improvement,
Autohellas periodically conducts internal employee surveys, assessing employees' awareness and trust in these processes. The
results of the surveys and employee feedback are used to enhance engagement and communication practices.
iii. Metrics and targets
Targets
To further enhance health and safety standards, the Autohellas Group has set the following targets, which are expected to be

employees are ready for emergency situations, allowing for quick and effective responses in critical circumstances.

in these locations fully possess the necessary knowledge and skills to safely perform their work, thereby reducing the
likelihood of accidents and injuries.

safety practices remain current and aligned with evolving regulatory requirements and industry trends.

Description
Type
Reputational harm due to inadequately maintained vehicle fleet

safety. Risks may arise from potential gaps in vehicle maintenance, inconsistent adherence to safety protocols, and variability in
road safety practices. Specifically, inadequate fleet maintenance could lead to increased accident risks, while insufficient road
safety measures may jeopardize customer safety, potentially harming both individuals and the company's reputation.
To effectively mitigate these risks, the Autohellas Group systematically implements comprehensive fleet maintenance programs,
ensuring vehicles undergo rigorous inspections and adhere to strict quality and safety standards. Structured vehicle checks and
preventive maintenance programs, utilizing advanced diagnostic tools and specialized staff training, are key components of this
process. Vehicles undergo detailed safety inspections before each rental, with particular attention to critical safety elements such

transactions it conducts with customers. Due to the extensive collection of personal data from individual customers, including
identification details, payment information, and personal preferences, the Group acknowledges that risks associated with data
collection, storage, and processing may lead to legal liabilities, financial penalties under GDPR regulations, and potential
reputational damage in the event of data breaches or non-compliance incidents.

Consumer Complaints & Resolution Mechanisms
Autohellas Group has established comprehensive procedures for providing and activating corrective measures for human rights
impacts that may affect consumers and end-users. Customers have access to structured complaint mechanisms, which include
online reporting channels, direct communication with customer service representatives, and escalation paths to independent
mediation bodies where necessary. The Complaints Platform (We ACT Together) offers an additional channel for stakeholders to
anonymously report ethical issues, with strict protections against retaliation. These mechanisms are continuously monitored to
ensure their accessibility, effectiveness, and reliability. The Group communicates with consumers about the available reporting
channels and monitors issue resolution rates to measure effectiveness. Additionally, all communication channels are included in
service documents such as offers, rental agreements, and invoices.
In cases where significant adverse impacts on consumers have been identified, the Group takes immediate action to remedy the
situation. Corrective actions may include revising service agreements, issuing refunds, improving vehicle safety measures, or
enhancing data protection protocols. If a consumer issue indicates systemic risks, the Group conducts root cause analysis and
implements broader policy changes. Furthermore, Autohellas Group continuously works to create positive impacts for consumers

adjustments are made based on feedback received from consumers.
Autohellas Group's decision-making strategy is shaped by the interests, opinions, and rights of its consumers. Consumer well-
being is integrated into the business model, influencing fleet management, service offerings, and sustainability initiatives. The
Group considers all consumers and end-users who may be significantly affected by its operations, products, and business
relationships. In cases where adverse impacts arise, these are assessed to determine whether they stem from broader systemic
issues, such as data protection risks in digital services, or from individual incidents, such as safety concerns related to specific
vehicles.
Beyond risk mitigation, Autohellas Group actively seeks opportunities to create positive outcomes for consumers. This includes

Compliance with the European Regulatory Framework and the New Directive
In the context of current regulatory requirements, Autohellas is required to comply with a series of both new and existing
directives and regulations, which impact not only its financial obligations but also its environmental, social, and governance
practices.
- CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive): The new sustainability reporting directive increases transparency
and disclosure requirements on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) matters. The Group must ensure that the
data it publishes is reliable, accurate, and aligned with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), requiring
enhanced data collection and analysis systems.
- GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation): The protection of personal data is a critical legal issue, with increasing
requirements for the processing, storage, and security of customer, employee, and partner data. Non-compliance can
result in severe financial penalties and reputational damage.
The Group has identified a related risk associated with customer personal data, which is further analyzed in the
"Consumers and End Users" section of the Sustainability Report.
- Guidelines for Combating Money Laundering (AML Directives): Autohellas is required to implement strict transaction
monitoring procedures and due diligence measures to prevent financial crimes, corruption, and fraud.
- Tax Transparency Regulations and BEPS (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting): International and European tax transparency
requirements and measures to combat profit shifting impose strict documentation and reporting obligations on the
Group regarding its financial data.
More relevant information is provided in Note 36 (iv) of the Financial Statements.
Complexity and Continuous Updates on Legal Developments
The increasing complexity of the regulatory environment means that Autohellas must maintain mechanisms for the continuous
monitoring of legal and regulatory changes. Legal requirements vary across the countries in which the Group operates, making
ongoing collaboration with legal and tax advisors essential.
Frequent legislative amendments require the swift adaptation of internal processes to avoid legal and financial penalties. The risk
of non-compliance is heightened by the multidimensional nature of regulatory requirements, which span areas from financial
transparency to environmental and social responsibility.
Implications of Non-Compliance
Non-compliance with the aforementioned regulatory requirements can result in significant negative consequences, such as
financial penalties and fines imposed by regulatory authorities, loss of investors, and reduced financing opportunities, as failure
to meet ESG standards may impact access to green financing. Additionally, non-compliance can lead to disruptions in
collaborations with international suppliers and clients who require adherence to specific regulatory frameworks, as well as legal
disputes and lawsuits, which entail increased costs and reputational risk.
ii. Management of impacts, risks, and opportunities
To manage its material impacts, risks, and opportunities related to business conduct and corporate culture Autohellas has
implemented a comprehensive set of policies aligned with international best practices are designed to ensure that ethical
standards are maintained across all operations, promoting a culture of integrity, transparency, and accountability.
These policies include but are not limited to the following:
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
87
Code of Conduct and Business Ethics
Autohellas' Code of Conduct outlines ethical principles and guidelines for responsible business practices, ensuring compliance with
local and international laws, as well as respect for human rights and environmental standards. Key ethical values include integrity,
transparency, accountability, fairness, respect for diversity, and a commitment to sustainability, fostering a culture of trust and
responsible decision-making across all operations. The policy applies to all employees, suppliers, and business partners
Human Rights Policy
The policy describes Autohellas' commitment to promoting and respecting human rights across its operations, ensuring
compliance with international standards and local regulations. It applies to all employees, suppliers, and business partners, with
an unwavering dedication to eliminating discrimination, forced labor, child labor, and ensuring safe working conditions. Core
principles include respect for dignity, equality, non-discrimination and the protection of vulnerable groups, with continuous efforts
to uphold these values in all business practices.
Violence prevention and anti- harassment policy
The policy outlines Autohellas' firm commitment to preventing violence and harassment in the workplace, ensuring a secure and
respectful atmosphere for all employees. It applies to all employees, suppliers, and business partners, with a resolute commitment
to eliminating all forms of violence, harassment, and bullying, whether physical, verbal, or emotional. Core principles include
safeguarding individual dignity, maintaining a zero-tolerance stance toward misconduct, fostering inclusivity, and prioritizing
employee well-being, with continuous efforts to enforce these values throughout all organizational practices.
Whistleblowing Policy
The Group’s whistleblowing policy provides a secure and confidential channel for reporting any concerns related to unethical
behavior, misconduct, or violations of laws, regulations, or company policies. Reports can be made without fear of retaliation, as
the company ensures strict confidentiality and protection for whistleblowers. Through the policy, Autohellas encourages the
prompt reporting of any issues to uphold its values and foster a culture of accountability and trust.
Employees and stakeholders are expected to uphold all the principles included in the Group’s policies, fostering a culture of
integrity and trust. All the aforementioned policies are accessible to all stakeholders through the company's website and internal
communication channels, ensuring transparency and active engagement, with accountability for implementation lying with the
Board of Directors. In addition, to ensure that stakeholders who need to help implement any policy are well-informed, apart from
training sessions, workshops, or informational materials tailored to its operations, Autohellas operates a dedicated Risk and
Compliance Unit that provides ongoing support, offering guidance, answering questions, and assisting stakeholders as needed to
guarantee the effective implementation and understanding of its policies.
In order for all internal stakeholders to be familiar with the aforementioned policies, Autohellas has established a comprehensive
training program aimed at fostering a strong ethical culture across the organization. The company provides training on business
conduct to all employees, with particular emphasis on anti-corruption, anti-bribery, conflict of interest, and compliance with legal
and regulatory requirements. New hires are required to complete the training during their onboarding process, ensuring they
understand the company’s ethical standards from the outset. In addition, refresher training is conducted when needed, ensuring
the stakeholders remain informed about the latest legal updates, company policies, and best practices. The training is tailored to
different target audiences, with senior management receiving more specialized content on governance, risk management, and
overseeing ethical practices.
Employees of certain functions within Autohellas, that are more exposed to the risks of corruption and bribery due to the nature
of their responsibilities, such as procurement and sales departments, where there is greater interaction with third parties, handling
of financial transactions, and decision-making on contracts and vendor relations, are subject to enhanced oversight, and they
receive more frequent and detailed training on anti-corruption and anti-bribery measures.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
88
The company also implements additional controls and monitoring systems in these high-risk areas to mitigate potential ethical
risks and ensure compliance with both internal policies and external regulations. The company has established clear procedures
for investigating business conduct incidents, including cases of corruption and bribery. Investigations are conducted independently
of the management chain to ensure impartiality. Autohellas Group also evaluates its corporate culture regularly, incorporating
feedback from employees, governance assessments, and compliance audits to strengthen ethical practices.
A structured process has been implemented for reporting, investigating, and addressing concerns regarding unlawful behavior or
any conduct contradicting the company’s ethical policies. In particular, a whistleblowing platform is available, which allows both
named and anonymous reporting. In compliance with Directive (EU) 2019/1937, Autohellas Group protects whistleblowers from
retaliation, ensuring that reports are handled confidentially and investigated impartially.
Although Autohellas Group operates in an industry where animal welfare concerns are not applicable, the company acknowledges
this disclosure requirement and confirms that it does not have specific policies on this subject. If any future business activities
necessitate such policies, the company will take appropriate action to ensure compliance.

iii. Anti-Corruption and Anti-Bribery
Autohellas, operating under a Code of Conduct that sets out high ethical standards and expectations, has formally established and
implements an Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy, which is comprehensively communicated to all stakeholders. This policy is
aligned with the principles set forth in the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) and strictly prohibits all forms
of corruption, including bribery, money laundering, and extortion, reinforcing the company's unwavering commitment to
maintaining the highest standards of ethical business conduct.
To ensure the effectiveness of the policy, Autohellas has implemented a robust framework that includes regular training programs
to raise awareness about anti-corruption laws and corporate ethics. Apart from ad hoc trainings for all, all new hires undergo
mandatory training on these topics as part of their onboarding process to ensure they understand Autohellas’s zero-tolerance
policy toward corruption and bribery. The training program covers a range of key areas, including the identification and prevention
of corruption and bribery, understanding legal requirements, the importance of transparency in business operations, the
consequences of non-compliance as well as the available channels for reporting incidents identified. Particularly for members of
the administrative, management, and supervisory bodies, the training is more comprehensive, with a focus on their distinct
governance roles and responsibilities in ensuring compliance and mitigating ethical risks throughout the organization. These
specialized training sessions also cover topics such as strategic oversight of ethical practices, corporate governance, and risk
management, tailored to their leadership responsibilities. The Anti- Corruption and Anti-Bribery policy is available to all employees
through the Group’s intranet.
While these policies are already in place, Autohellas is committed to continuously enhancing its anti-corruption practices. Future
targets include:
Anti-corruption policy update ensuring that (i) all anti-corruption policies are reviewed and updated annually to align
with regulatory requirements and best practices, and (ii) a minimum percentage of internal trainings of covering the
provision of the policies is achieved.
Further enhancement of employee training: Provide refreshing trainings to group employees of Greek subsidiaries
covering a minimum percentage of 50%. The trainings will be provided within the next 12 months, with the support and
the supervision of the Risk and Compliance Unit.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024

During the year, Autohellas incurred no legal consequences related to anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, with neither
convictions nor fines recorded. This reflects the company’s steadfast commitment to ethical business practices, regulatory
compliance, and corporate integrity.

iv. Political Contributions and Public Policy Engagement
Autohellas Group does not engage in lobbying activities and does not provide monetary or in-kind political contributions to
government officials, political parties, or advocacy organizations. The company maintains a neutral stance in political matters and
ensures that its business operations remain independent of undue political influence. The Board of Directors is responsible for
overseeing compliance with the company’s policy on political neutrality and ensuring that no lobbying activities or political
contributions take place within Autohellas Group. Autohellas Group does not appoint members to its administrative,
management, or supervisory bodies who have held comparable positions in public administration within the two years preceding
their appointment, as this is not relevant to the company’s governance practices.
The company is not registered in the EU Transparency Register or any equivalent lobbying registry, as it does not participate in
any activities that require such registration.
v. Supplier Governance and Ethical Sourcing
Autohellas Group maintains a Supplier Evaluation Policy, ensuring that its suppliers adhere to environmental, social, and
governance (ESG) criteria. Apart from operational criteria, Autohellas evaluates suppliers based on their commitment to ethical
business practices, and sustainability standards.
Autohellas Group does not have a formal policy specifically to prevent late payments; however, it adheres to contractual terms
and prevailing industry standards when processing payments to suppliers. In instances of delays, the company engages directly
with suppliers to facilitate prompt resolution.
From 1 January 2026 onwards, these indicators (average time to pay invoices and percentage of payments made on time) will be
systematically monitored and optimized through the implementation of SAP, which aims to enhance efficiency and strengthen
financial management processes.
Up to 31.12.2024, Autohellas faced no legal proceedings related to late payments.
vi. Governance Oversight
The Board of Directors oversees business conduct and ethical compliance at Autohellas Group. The Board is responsible for
ensuring that corporate governance frameworks align with international best practices, legal requirements, and stakeholder
expectations.
The company has implemented a structured Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework, which incorporates corruption and
bribery risks into broader corporate risk assessments. Risk mitigation strategies are continuously refined based on emerging
threats and compliance developments.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024

Members of the Board receive training in corporate governance, business ethics, and regulatory compliance, ensuring that they
are equipped to provide effective oversight. Additionally, Autohellas Group discloses whether any Board members have held
public sector positions in the past two years, thereby ensuring transparency and avoiding potential conflicts of interest.
Autohellas Group recognizes the value of aligning its human rights practices with international standards. In this context, the
Group intends to explore the possibility of conducting a Human Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA) aligned with the United Nations
Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. The potential implementation of this assessment will be evaluated during the
upcoming reporting period, reflecting the Group's ongoing commitment to responsible business conduct and continuous
improvement in human rights governance.
Based on the above information, the audit report of the Certified Auditor Accountant, and the annual financial statements as at
31 December 2023, we believe you possess all the necessary information available to proceed with the approval of the annual
financial statements for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2024, as well as the approval of the overall management conducted

Independent Auditor’s Limited Assurance Report on AUTOHELLAS
TOURIST AND TRADING SOCIETE ANONYME Sustainability
Statement
To the shareholders of AUTOHELLAS TOURIST AND TRADING SOCIETE
ANONYME
We have conducted a limited assurance engagement on the consolidated Sustainability Statement
of AUTOHELLAS TOURIST AND TRADING SOCIETE ANONYME. (hereinafter the “Company”
and/or “Group”), included in section Sustainability Statement of the consolidated Management
Report (hereinafter the “Sustainability Report”), for the period from 01.01.2024 to 31.12.2024.
Limited assurance conclusion
Based on the procedures performed, as described below in the paragraph “Scope of Work
Performed”, as well as the evidence obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to
believe that:
the Sustainability Statement has not been prepared, in all material respects, in
accordance with article 154 of L. 4548/2018 as amended and effective by L. 5164/2024,
which transposed Article 29(a) of EU Directive 2013/34/EU into the Greek legislation
the Sustainability Statement does not comply with the European Sustainability Reporting
Standards (hereinafter “ESRS”), in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2023/2772 of the
Commission of July 31,2023 and Directive (EU) 2022/2464 of the European Parliament
and the Council of December 14, 2022
the process followed by the Company to identify and assess of material risks and
opportunities (the "Process"), as set out in the Note of the Sustainability Report, does not
comply with "Impact, Risk, and Opportunity Management" of ESRS 2 "General
Disclosures"
the disclosures in section “Disclosures according to EU Taxonomy” of the Sustainability
Statement do not comply with article 8 of EU Regulation 2020/852.
This assurance report does not extend to information on prior periods.
Basis for the conclusion
The limited assurance engagement was conducted in accordance with International Standard on
Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised), “Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews
of Historical Financial Information” (hereinafter “ISAE 3000”).
The procedures in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in
extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained
in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been
obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed.
Our responsibilities are further described in the section Auditors Responsibilities”.
Professional Ethics and Quality Management
© 2025 Grant Thornton Chartered Accountants Management Consultants | 58, Katechaki Av. 115 25 Athens, Greece | T: +30 210 7280000 F: +30 210 7212222 |
www.grant-thornton.gr
We are independent of the Company and the Group, throughout this engagement and have
complied with the requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants of the
International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code), the ethics and independence
requirements of L.4449/2017 and EU Regulation 537/2014.
Our auditing firm applies the International Standard on Quality Management (ISQM) 1 “Quality
Management for Audit Firms that Perform Audits or Reviews of Financial Statements, or Other
Assurance or Related Services engagements”, and therefore maintains a comprehensive quality
management system that includes documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with
ethical requirements, professional standards, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our conclusion.
Responsibilities of the Company’s Management for the Sustainability Report
The Company’s and Group’s Management is responsible for the design and the implementation of
an appropriate process to determine the required information to be included in the Sustainability
Statement in accordance with the ESRS as well as for the disclosure of the Process in section
Sustainability Governanceof the Sustainability Report.
More specifically, this responsibility includes:
Obtaining an understanding of the context in which the Company and Group activities and
business relationships take place and understanding the affected stakeholders
Identifying the actual and potential impacts (both negative and positive) related to
sustainability matters, as well as the risks and opportunities that affect, or could
reasonably be expected to affect, the Company’s and Group’s financial position, financial
performance, cash flows, access to funding or cost of capital in the short-, medium-, or
long-term
Assessing the materiality of the identified impacts, risks and opportunities related to
sustainability matters through the selection and application of appropriate thresholds; and
Formulating assumptions that are reasonable under the existing circumstances
The Company’s ang Group’s Management is further responsible for the preparation of the
Sustainability Report, in accordance with article 154 of L. 4548/2018, as amended and in force by
L. 5164/2024 which transposed Article 29(a) of EU Directive 2013/34 into the Greek legislation.
In this context, the Company’s and Group’s Management is responsible for:
Compliance of the Sustainability Statement with the ESRS
Preparing the disclosures in section “Disclosures according to EU Taxonomy” of the
Sustainability Report, in compliance with the requirements of article 8 of EU Regulation
2020/852
Designing and implementing such internal controls procedures as Management
determines are necessary to ensure that the Sustainability Statement is free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
Selecting and implementing appropriate reporting methods, including assumptions and
estimates about individual disclosures in the Sustainability Statement that have been
evaluated as reasonable under the circumstances.
The Company’s Audit Committee is responsible for supervising the process of the preparation of the
Company’s Sustainability Report.
© 2025 Grant Thornton Chartered Accountants Management Consultants | 58, Katechaki Av. 115 25 Athens, Greece | T: +30 210 7280000 F: +30 210 7212222 |
www.grant-thornton.gr
Inherent limitations in preparing the Sustainability Report
As mentioned in Note to the Sustainability Statement "Methodologies and Assumptions Applied in
Identifying Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities", the data used includes estimates from third-party
providers or sector-average values. The assumptions are based on historical performance data,
predictive models, and scenario analysis to forecast future trends and potential regulatory
developments affecting fleet management, emissions, and sustainable mobility solutions. These
estimates are based on recognized frameworks available at the time of the analysis, however, there
is a high level of uncertainty due to limitations in methodologies and data, as well as the dependence
of the measurements on third-party data.
In reporting forward-looking information under ESRS, the Company’s Management is required to
prepare forward-looking information based on disclosed assumptions, regarding future events and
possible future actions of the Company and the Group. The actual outcome of these actions may be
different, as anticipated events do not often occur as expected.
Additionally, the section "Climate Change Mitigation" of the Sustainability Statement includes
information related to the processes for assessing material climate-related impacts, risks, and
opportunities, as well as their interaction with the strategy and business model.
Our assignment covered the items listed in the “Scope of Work Performed” section to obtain limited
assurance based on the procedures included in the Program. Our assignment does not constitute
an audit or review of historical financial information, in accordance with applicable International
Standards on Auditing or International Standards on Assurance Engagements, and therefore we do
not express any assurance other than that set out in the "Scope of Work Performed" section.
Auditor’s responsibilities
This limited assurance report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Article 154C
of L. 4548/2018 and Article 32A of L.4449/2017.
Our responsibility is to prepare and perform the limited assurance engagement to obtain limited
assurance as to whether the Sustainability Statement is free from material misstatement, due to
fraud or error, and to issue a limited assurance report that includes our conclusion. Error may arise
from fraud or misstatement and is considered material when, individually or in the aggregate, it could
reasonably be expected to affect the financial decisions of users made on the basis of the
Sustainability Statement taken as a whole.
In the context of a limited assurance engagement in accordance with ISAE 3000 (Revised), we
exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the engagement.
Our responsibilities with respect to the Sustainability Report, in relation to the Process, include:
Conducting risk assessment procedures, including an understanding of the relevant
internal control procedures, to identify risks related to whether the Process, followed by
the Company and the Group to determine the information reported in the Sustainability
Statement does not meet the applicable requirements of the ESRS, but not for the
purpose of providing a conclusion regarding the effectiveness of the internal controls on
the Process and
Preparing and conducting procedures to assess whether the Process to identify the
information reported in the Sustainability Statement is consistent with the description of
the Process as disclosed in section “Impact, Risk and Opportunity Management [ESRS 2
IRO-1] και [ESRS2 SBM-3]” of the Report.

www.grant-thornton.gr
We are further responsible for:
Conducting risk assessment procedures, including an understanding of the relevant
internal controls, to identify those disclosures that may be materially misstated, whether
due to fraud or error, but not for the purpose of expressing a conclusion regarding the
effectiveness of the Company’s and the Group's internal controls.
Preparing and conducting procedures related to those disclosures of the Sustainability
Report, in which a material error is likely to occur. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than that arising from error, as fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the deviations from
internal controls.
Scope of Work Performed
Our engagement includes performing procedures and obtaining assurance evidence for the purpose
of forming a limited assurance conclusion and covers only the limited assurance procedures set out
in the assurance program issued by the 22.1.2025 decision of the ELTE's (hereinafter "Program"),
as formulated for the purpose of issuing a limited assurance report on the Company’s and the
Group's Sustainability Report.
Our procedures were designed to obtain a limited level of assurance on which to base our conclusion
and which do not provide all of the evidence that would be required to provide a reasonable level of
assurance.

VI. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Gerenal information
AUTOHELLAS Tourist and Trading Société Anonyme was incorporated in Greece in 1962 and its shares are traded in the “Travel &
Tourism” sector of the Athens Stock Exchange. At the date of approval of the financial statements the company MAIN STREAM S.A.
owns the 61.25% of Autohellas’ shares.
The Group, through its subsidiaries and associates, operates in Greece, Portugal, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Romania, Serbia, Montenegro,
Croatia and Ukraine.
The Group’s principal activities comprise car rentals and car sales.
The Company’s registered office is at Viltanioti 31, Kifissia, Attica, Greece. The Company’s website address is www.autohellas.gr .
These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 12 March 2025 and are subject to the approval of the
Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders.
The annual financial statements, the independent auditor’s reports and the Board of Directors’ reports of the companies that are
incorporated in the consolidated financial statements of the Group are posted in the Company’s website www.autohellas.gr.
The amounts of the financial statements are presented in Euros, unless otherwise stated.
The financial statements have been prepared based on a going concern basis.
2. Summary of material accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation
These financial statements consist of the standalone financial statements of Autohellas (the “Company”) and the consolidated
financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (together “Autohellas” or the Group”) for the year ended
31 December 2024, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as adopted by the European Union
(EU).
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis with the exception of certain financial assets, certain
classes of property, plant and equipment and investment property which are measured at fair value. The accounting policies have
been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
2.2 New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations:
Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for periods beginning
on or after 1 January 2024. The Group’s evaluation of the effect of these new standards, amendments to standards and
interpretations is as follows.
(i) Standards and Interpretations effective for the current financial year
IAS 1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ (Amendments) (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2024)
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
104
2020 Amendment ‘Classification of liabilities as current or non-current’
The amendment clarifies that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current depending on the rights
that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the expectations of the entity or
events after the reporting date. The amendment also clarifies what IAS 1 means when it refers to the
‘settlement’ of a liability.
2022 Amendments ‘Non-current liabilities with covenants’
The new amendments clarify that if the right to defer settlement is subject to the entity complying with specified
conditions (covenants), this amendment will only apply to conditions that exist when compliance is measured
on or before the reporting date. Additionally, the amendments aim to improve the information an entity
provides when its right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to compliance with covenants within twelve
months after the reporting period.
The 2022 amendments changed the effective date of the 2020 amendments. As a result, the 2020 and 2022
amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024 and should be
applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8. As a result of aligning the effective dates, the 2022
amendments override the 2020 amendments when they both become effective in 2024.
IFRS 16 (Amendment) ‘Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback’ (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2024)
The amendment clarifies how an entity accounts for a sale and leaseback after the date of the transaction. Sale and
leaseback transactions where some or all the lease payments are variable lease payments that do not depend on an index
or rate are most likely to be impacted. An entity applies the requirements retrospectively back to sale and leaseback
transactions that were entered into after the date when the entity initially applied IFRS 16.
IAS 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’ and IFRS 7 ‘Financial Instruments’ (Amendments) - Disclosures: Supplier Finance
Arrangements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024)
The amendments require companies to disclose information about their Supplier Finance Arrangements such as terms
and conditions, carrying amount of financial liabilities that are part of such arrangements, ranges of payment due dates
and liquidity risk information.
The adoption of the above amendments had no material impact on the Annual Group and Company Financial Statements.
(ii) Standards and Interpretations effective for subsequent periods
IAS 21 ‘The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates’ (Amendments) - Lack of exchangeability (effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025)
These amendments require companies to apply a consistent approach in assessing whether a currency can be exchanged
into another currency and, when it cannot, in determining the exchange rate to use and the disclosures to provide. The
amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
IFRS 18 ‘'Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements’ (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2027)
IFRS 18 was issued in April 2024. It sets out requirements on presentation and disclosures in financial statements and
replaces IAS 1. Its objective is to make it easier for investors to compare the performance and future prospects of entities
by changing the requirements for presenting information in the primary financial statements, particularly the statement
of profit or loss. The new standard:
requires presentation of two new defined subtotals in the statement of profit or lossoperating profit and profit
before financing and income taxes.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
105
requires disclosure of management-defined performance measuressubtotals of income and expenses not
specified by IFRS that are used in public communications to communicate management’s view of an aspect of a
company’s financial performance. To promote transparency, a company will be required to provide a
reconciliation between these measures and totals or subtotals specified by IFRS.
enhances the requirements for aggregation and disaggregation to help a company to provide useful information.
requires limited changes to the statement of cash flows to improve comparability by specifying a consistent
starting point for the indirect method of reporting cash flows from operating activities and eliminating options
for the classification of interest and dividend cash flows.
The new standard has retrospective application. It has not yet been endorsed by the EU.
IFRS 19 'Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures’ (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2027)
IFRS 19 was issued in May 2024. It allows subsidiaries with a parent that applies IFRS in its consolidated financial
statements to apply IFRS with reduced disclosure requirements. It applies to eligible subsidiaries that elect to adopt the
standard in their consolidated, separate or individual financial statements. Eligible subsidiaries are those which do not
have public accountability (as described in a relevant paragraph in IFRS for Small and Medium-sized Entities) and belong
to a parent that prepares and publishes consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS.These subsidiaries will
continue to apply the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements in other IFRS, but they can replace the
disclosure requirements in those standards with reduced disclosure requirements. The new standard.
enables subsidiaries to keep only one set of accounting records―to meet the needs of both their parent
company and the users of their financial statements; and
reduces disclosure requirements―IFRS 19 permits reduced disclosures better suited to the needs of the users
of their financial statements.
The new standard has retrospective application. It has not yet been endorsed by the EU.
Narrow scope amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, ‘Financial Instruments’: Disclosures’ (effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2026)
These amendments issued in May 2024:
(a) clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception
for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system;
(b) clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal
and interest (SPPI) criterion;
(c) add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (such as some
instruments with features linked to the achievement ESG targets); and
(d) update the disclosures for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income
(FVOCI).
When an entity first applies the amendments, it is not required to restate comparative information, and is only permitted
to do so if possible without the use of hindsight.
The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards Volume 11 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026)
The amendments include clarifications, simplifications, corrections and changes aimed at improving the consistency of 5
IFRS Standards as set out below. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU:
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
106
IFRS 1 ‘First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards
Hedge accounting by a first-time adopter: The amendment addresses a potential confusion arising from an
inconsistency between the wording in IFRS 1 and requirements for hedge accounting in IFRS 9 ‘Financial
Instruments’.
IFRS 7 ‘Financial instruments: Disclosures’ and its accompanying ‘Guidance on implementing IFRS 7’
Gain or loss on derecognition: The amendment updates the phrase used for ‘unobservable inputsin
IFRS 7 to make it consistent with IFRS 13 ‘Fair Value Measurement’ and includes cross references to
IFRS 13.
Disclosure of deferred difference between fair value and transaction price: The amendment addresses
an inconsistency in wording between IFRS 7 and its accompanying implementation guidance as well as
inconsistencies of the latter with the concepts and terminology used in IFRS 9 and IFRS 13.
Introduction and Credit risk disclosures: The amendment addresses a potential confusion by clarifying
in the Introduction section that the guidance does not necessarily illustrate all the requirements in the
referenced paragraphs of IFRS 7. It also simplifies the explanation of which aspects of the IFRS
requirements are not illustrated in the credit risk example in paragraph IG20B.
IFRS 9 ‘Financial instruments’
Derecognition of lease liabilities: The amendment clarifies that, when a lessee has determined that a lease
liability has been extinguished in accordance with IFRS 9, the lessee is required to apply paragraph 3.3.3 and
recognise any resulting gain or loss in profit or loss.
Transaction price: The amendment addresses a potential confusion arising from a reference in Appendix A to
IFRS 9 to the definition of ‘transaction price’ in IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ while the term
‘transaction price’ is used in particular paragraphs of IFRS 9 with a meaning that is not necessarily consistent
with the definition of that term in IFRS 15.
IFRS 10 ‘Consolidated financial statements’
Determination of a ‘de facto agent’: The amendment addresses an inconsistency between paragraphs B73 and
B74 of IFRS 10 related to an investor determining whether another party is acting on its behalf by aligning the
language in both paragraphs.
IAS 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows
Cost method: The amendment replaces the term ‘cost method’ with ‘at cost’ since the term is no longer defined
in IFRS
The Group and the Company are assessing the potential impacts of adopting the aforementioned amendments on the Annual
Standalone and Consolidated Financial Statements.
2.3 Principles of consolidation, equity accounting and business combinations
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when
the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those
returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control
is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
107
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised
losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies
of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or
loss, the statement of other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of financial position
respectively.
(ii) Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used by the Group to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity
instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the:
fair values of the assets transferred
liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business
equity interests issued by the Group
fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, and
fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited
exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the
acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share
of the acquired entity’s net identifiable assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
The excess of the
consideration transferred,
amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity, and
acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity
over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the business acquired, the difference is recognised
directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.
When the settlement of any part of the cash consideration is deferred, amounts payable in the future are discounted to their
present value on the swap date. The discount rate used is the incremental borrowing rate of the group, which is the rate at which
similar lending could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. The contingent
consideration is classified as either equity or financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are then remeasured at
fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
The Group recognises non-controlling interests in an acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate
share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired entity. This decision is made on a per acquisition basis.
(iii) Associates
Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control. This is generally the case
where the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity
method of accounting (see (v) below), after initially being recognised at cost.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
108
(iv) Joint arrangements
Under IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures.
The classification depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint
arrangement. The Group has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined them to be joint ventures.
Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method (see (v) below), after initially being recognised at cost in the
consolidated statement of financial position.
(v) Equity method
Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the
Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the Group’s share of movements in
other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates
and joint ventures are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.
When the Group’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any
other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made
payments on behalf of the other entity.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the
Group’s interest in these entities. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment
of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of equity accounted investees have been changed where necessary to ensure
consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
The carrying amount of equity-accounted investments is tested for impairment in accordance with the policy described in 2.9
below.
The Company accounts for investments in associates and joint ventures using the historical cost method.
(vi) Changes in ownership interests
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in change of control are accounted for as equity transactions. A
movement in participation rates leads to an adjustment of controlling and non controlling interest's book value so as to reflect
the relation among the participations in the subsidiary. Any difference between the adjustment of non controlling interest and
the fair value of any consideration paid or received is recorded in a separate reserves account in equity.
When the Group ceases to consolidate or equity account for an investment because of a loss of control, joint control or significant
influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit
or loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest
as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income
in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean
that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
If the ownership interest in a joint venture or an associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, only a
proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where
appropriate.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
109
The Company accounts for investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures in its standalone financial statements at cost
less impairment.
2.4 Segment reporting
The segments are determined on the basis of internal reporting to the Group’s Board of Directors (as chief operating decision
maker) which makes strategic decisions based on its assessment of performance and position of the Group.
Consequently, segment information is presented in the consolidated financial statements in respect of the Group’s car leasing and
car sales and related service activities in Greece and abroad.
2.5 Foreign currency translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euros
(EUR), which is Autohellas’ functional and presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised on a net basis in the results in other gains/(losses) except for foreign exchange
gains or losses related to borrowings which are recognised in the results in finance costs.
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date
when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of
the fair value gain or loss.
Exchange differences from equity securities, measured at fair value through Profit or Loss are recognised in the results, while
those from equity securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised in Other Comprehensive
Income.
(iii) Group Companies
The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have
a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date
of that statement of financial position
income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and statement of other comprehensive income are
translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the
rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the
transactions),
the resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income, and
the share capital and reserves are translated at the exchange rates in force on the dates of the transactions
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
110
When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange
differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.
2.6 Revenue recognition
Revenue represents the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary
course of business of the Group.
(i) Operating lease income
Leasing income from operating lease instalments is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, based on the total of
the contractual payments divided by the number of months of the lease term. End of contract fees may consist of fees charged to
clients for deviations from the contractual terms related to contract duration, excess of mileage and extensive wear and tear of
the vehicle. The fees are recognised upon termination of the lease contract.
(ii) Revenue from rents on buildings/land
Rental revenues are recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the rental agreement.
(iii) Finance lease & other interest income
Interest income from finance lease contracts is recognised using the effective interest method. Payments collected from the lease
are allocated between reducing the net investment in the lease and recognising interest income. Other interest income mainly
includes income from interest-bearing assets, which is recognised using the effective interest method.
(iv) Vehicles and spare parts sales
Vehicle and Spare Cars sales include revenue from the sale of new and used cars of the auto-trade sector, sales of used cars upon
termination of their lease contract and sales of new vehicle spare cars. Revenue from vehicle sales are recognised when ownership
is transferred.
(v) Other services income and commissions
Additional services include fees charged for fleet management services, repair & maintenance services, damage & insurance
services, charges for car transportation and preparation services during sale, charges for the issuance of car certificates and
registration. Commissions include fees for mediating customer financing with financial institutions. Revenue from fleet
management services is recognised on a straight-line basis.
(vi) Dividends
Dividends are accounted as income, when the right to receive payment is established, in other words on the date the dividends
are declared and approved.
(vii) Revenue Recognition
The Group recognises revenue, other than revenue from car rentals recognised in accordance with IFRS 16, upon transfer of
promised goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in
exchange for those goods or services based on the following five step approach:
Step 1: Identify the contracts with customers
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

2.7 Income tax
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable
income tax rate for each country adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences
and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the
reporting period in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is
subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax
authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not
recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects
neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted
or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset
is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
The deferred tax liability in relation to investment property that is measured at fair value is determined assuming the property
will be recovered entirely through sale.
Deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary
differences and losses.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of
investments in foreign operations where the company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences
and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and
when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the
entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the
liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity, respectively.
2.8 Leases
(i) The Group as a lessee
The Group recognises for all leases a right-of-use asset as well as a corresponding lease liability, at the date on which the leased
asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is divided between the liability and the finance cost.
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities arising from the lease are initially measured at present value. Lease liabilities include the
net present value of the following leases:
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
112
fixed rents (including substantially fixed payments), reduced by any lease receivable
floating rates that depend on an index or interest rate, which are initially measured using the index or interest rate at the
start of the lease term
rentals related to extension rights that are likely to be exercised.
amounts expected to be paid by the group based on guaranteed residual values
price of purchase option, if it is probable that the Group will exercise that option, and
payment of a penalty for termination of the lease if the duration of the lease indicates that Group will exercise the right to
terminate the lease.
Lease payments are discounted using the interest rate included in the lease. If this rate cannot be directly determined, the
incremental borrowing rate is used, that is, the rate at which the lessee would be liable if he borrowed the necessary funds to
purchase similar asset, for a similar period, with similar collateral and in a similar economic environment.
After their initial recognition, lease liabilities are increased for financial cost and reduced by lease payments.
The cost of the right to use the asset consists of:
the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability
any rents paid at the start date of the lease period or earlier, less any incentives leases have received
any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee and
an estimate of the costs incurred by the lessee in disassembling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the premises
where it has been located or restoring the underlying asset in the condition provided by the terms and conditions of the
lease.
Right of use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease
term. When the valuation of the present value has been done under assumption that lease will exercise option to purchase
underlying asset, then the right of use is amortised over the useful life of the underlying asset.
Payments related to short-term leases for all categories of assets other than airport premises and low-value leases are recognised
using the straight-line method as an expense. Short-term leases are leases of twelve months or less.
(ii) Group as lessor
Leases where substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are not transferred to the lessee are
classified as operating leases.
Income from operating leases, where the Group is the lessor, is recognised equally over the entire lease period.
Leases where substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are transferred to the lessee are classified
as finance leases. The Group as a lessor records a finance lease receivable at the amount of its net investment which equals the
present value of the future minimum lease payments receivable (including any guaranteed residual value by the lessee) and the
unguaranteed residual value accruing to the Group, after any accumulated impairment losses. The finance lease receivables are
presented within the caption ‘Trade and other receivables’.
Unearned finance income is the difference between the gross investment in the lease and the net investment in the lease. Over
the lease term, the instalments charged to the clients are apportioned between a reduction in the net investment in the lease and
finance lease income.
All cars under long-term and short-term operating leases are included in property, plant and equipment and rights-of-use assets.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
113
2.9 Impairment of assets
Goodwill is not subject to amortisation and is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that it might be impaired.
Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not
be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable
amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of
assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are
largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units).
Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the
end of each reporting period.
2.10 Cash and cash equivalents
For presentation purposes in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash, demand deposits and other
highly liquid short-term investments with maturities of up to three months, which can be immediately converted into specified
amounts of cash and which are subject to immaterial risk of change in their value
2.11 Trade receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. They
are generally due for settlement within 30 days and therefore are all classified as current. Trade receivables are recognised initially
at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when they are
recognised at fair value. The Group holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and
therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method, less loss allowance. See note 4.1 for a description of the Group’s impairment policies.
2.12 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned to new and used cars on the basis of their
individual cost while costs are assigned to spare parts on the basis of weighted average costs. Net realisable value is the estimated
selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
2.13 Investments and other financial assets
(i) Classification
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI or through profit or loss), and
• those to be measured at amortised cost.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
114
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are treated as a whole for SPPI testing and classification purposes (Solely Payments of
Principal and Interest) on the principal amount outstanding.
The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash
flows.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For
investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable
election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income
(FVOCI).
The Group reclassifies debt instruments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
(ii) Recognition and derecognition
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to
purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have
expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
(iii) Measurement
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value
through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction
costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.
(a) Debt instruments
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow
characteristics of the asset. The Group measures its debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income or
through profit or loss. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate
method.
(b) Equity instruments
The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group’s management has elected to present
fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair
value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue
to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in other gains/(losses) in profit or
loss as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at fair value through
other comprehensive income are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.
Details on how the fair value of financial instruments is determined are disclosed in note Error! Reference source not found.
(iv) Impairment
For investments in debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the Group determines the
impairment loss against expected credit losses. The relevant methodology depends on whether there is a significant increase in
credit risk.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
115
For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to
be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. See note 4.1 for further details.
2.14 Property, plant and equipment
Land and buildings are recognised at fair value based on periodic valuations, every 1 to 2 years, by external independent valuers,
less subsequent depreciation for buildings. A revaluation surplus is credited to fair value reserves in shareholders’ equity. All other
property, plant and equipment is recognised at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly
attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured
reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs
and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Increases in the carrying amounts arising on revaluation of land and buildings are recognised, net of tax, in other comprehensive
income and accumulated in reserves in shareholders’ equity. To the extent that the increase reverses a decrease previously
recognised in profit or loss, the increase is first recognised in profit or loss. Decreases that reverse previous increases of the same
asset are first recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of the remaining surplus attributable to the asset; all other
decreases are charged to profit or loss.
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on the remaining property, plant & equipment categories is calculated using the straight-
line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Estimated Asset category useful lives Buildings 20 - 25 years Machinery 6 years Vehicles 6 - 8 years Furniture, fittings and equipment 10 years IT equipment 5 years
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than
its estimated recoverable amount (note 2.9).
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss.
When revalued assets are sold, the Group transfers any amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained
earnings.
2.15 Investment property
Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the Group, is
classified as investment property. In its standalone financial statements, the Company classifies all land and buildings rented to
subsidiaries as investment property. Investment properties consist of land and buildings that are rented either to subsidiaries and
related parties of the Group or to third parties.
Investment property is measured initially at cost. After initial recognition, investment property is carried at fair value.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
116
2.16 Intangible assets
(i) Goodwill
Goodwill is measured as described in note 2.3. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is
not amortised but it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it
might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include
the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-
generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the
goodwill arose. The units or groups of units are identified at the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal
management purposes, being the operating segments as presented in note 11.
(ii) Acquired software
Acquired software is recognised at cost less depreciation and any impairments. They are depreciated using the straight-line
method over their estimated useful lives of 10 - 20 years.
(iii) Franchise agreement
The trademark franchise agreement concerns the commercial cooperation between the licensor and the licensee and is recognised
in the intangible assets at present value. It is then amortised using the straight-line method over the term of the contract.
2.17 Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are
unpaid. The amounts are usually paid within 6 months of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities
unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.18 Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at
amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit
or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are derecognised from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged,
cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred
to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit
or loss as finance costs.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at
least 12 months after the reporting period.
2.19 Employee benefits
(i) Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the
employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and
are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented within other
payables in the statement of financial position.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
117
(ii) Post-employment obligations
Post-employment obligations are related with defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans.
The liability or asset recognised in the statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present
value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by
independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest
rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms
approximating to the terms of the related obligation.
The interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the balance of the defined benefit obligation. This cost is included
in employee benefit expense in the profit or loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the
period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of
changes in equity and in the statement of financial position.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised
immediately in profit or loss as past service costs.
For defined contribution plans, the Group pays contributions to publicly or privately administered pension insurance plans on a
mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid.
The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an
asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.
(iii) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or when an
employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits at the earlier
of the following dates: (a) when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and (b) when the entity recognises
costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of IAS 37 and involves the payment of terminations benefits. In the case of an
offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees
expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to
present value.
2.20 Share capital
Share capital comprises the ordinary shares of the Company. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly
attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Where the Company reacquires its own equity instruments ('treasury shares'), the consideration paid, including any directly
attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders as
treasury shares until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any
consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is
included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
118
2.21 Dividend distribution
Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Group’s financial statements in the period
in which the dividends are approved by the General Meeting of the shareholders.
2.22 Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per shares
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average
number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year excluding treasury shares.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and
the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion
of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
2.23 Rounding of amounts
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest currency unit unless otherwise
stated.
2.24 Provisions
Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make good obligations are recognised when the group has a present legal or
constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation,
and the amount can be reliably estimated.
Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an
outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised
even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
2.25 Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date of entering into a derivative contract and then remeasured at fair value
at the end of each accounting period. Accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is
designated as a hedging instrument and, if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The group identifies certain derivatives as an
interest rate hedge related to the cash flows of the recognised loans (cash flow hedge). At the inception of the hedging
relationship, the group documents the financial relationship between the hedging instruments and the hedged items, including
whether the changes in the cash flows of the hedging instruments are expected to offset the changes in the cash flows of the
hedged items. The group documents the scope of its risk management and strategy for undertaking hedging transactions. The fair
values of derivative financial instruments specified in hedging relationships are disclosed in note 17. The movements of the
hedging reserve in equity are shown in note 22.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
119
(i) Derivatives that meet the hedging requirements
The effective part of the changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated and characterised as accounting cash flow hedges
is recognised under cash flow hedge reserve in equity. The profit or loss relating to the ineffective part is recognised immediately
under profit or loss in “Other gains/(losses) - net”.
The amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified in periods when the hedged item affects profits or losses. Profits or losses
related to the effective part of interest rate swaps that offset the floating rate loans are recognised in the results under financial
expenses at the same time as the interest expense of the hedged loans.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting,
any accumulated deferred gain or loss has been recognised in equity at that time remains in equity until the respective hedged
cash flows affect profit or loss. In addition, if the cash flows of the hedged items are no longer expected to rise, the accumulated
profit or loss that has been recognised in equity is reclassified immediately under profit or loss.
(ii) Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting
Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instrument that
does not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised immediately in the profit or loss statement and are included under Other
gains/(losses).
3. Critical estimates, judgements and errors
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain significant accounting estimates and
the exercise of judgment by Management in the process of applying the accounting principles. It also requires the use of
calculations and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent claims and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements, and the amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Although these
calculations are based on management's best knowledge of current conditions and activities, actual results may ultimately differ
from these calculations. Areas involving complex transactions involving a high degree of subjectivity or assumptions and estimates
that are material to the financial statements are noted below.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including
expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.
This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and of items which are
more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be wrong.
(i) Estimation of current tax payable and current tax expense
The Group is subject to income taxes in various jurisdictions. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate
tax determination cannot be assessed with certainty in the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises a provision for
potential cases that might arise in the foreseeable future based on assessment of the probabilities as to whether additional taxes
will be due. Where the final tax outcome on these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such
differences will impact the income tax provision in the period in which such determination is made.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
120
(ii) Estimated goodwill impairment
The Group tests whether goodwill has suffered any impairment on an annual basis. The recoverable amount of the cash generating
units (CGUs) is determined based on value-in-use calculations which require the use of assumptions. The calculations use cash
flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-
year period are extrapolated using estimated growth rates that are consistent with forecasts specific to the industry in which each
CGU operates. The sensitivity to estimates and assumptions used is presented in note 11.
(iii) Estimation of pension benefit obligation
The Group provides pension benefit plans as an employee benefit in certain territories. Determining the value of these plans
requires several actuarial assumptions and estimates about discount rates, future salary increases and future pension increases.
Due to the long-term nature of these plans, such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty.
(iv) Useful lives and residual values of vehicles
Vehicles are depreciated over their estimated useful lives based on their estimated residual values. These estimates are reviewed
taking into account relevant market related factors. Given market volatility and the large number of different vehicles, the
estimation of the residual values involves a high degree of judgement. A change in these accounting estimates leads to a change
in depreciation which will have an effect in the current period and/or is expected to have an impact in subsequent periods.
(v) Estimation of fair values of land and buildings and investment property
The Group assigns independent valuations of investment property, land and buildings which are classified as tangible assets in
order to determine their fair value.
Fair value is based on active market prices, adjusted if necessary, for differences in the nature, geography or status of the specific
asset. If this information is not available, the Group applies alternative valuation methods, such as recent prices in less active
markets or discounted cash flow projections. Valuations are performed by professional appraisers possessing recognised and
relevant professional qualifications and have recent experience in the geographic location and in the category of the investment
properties under valuation.
Disclosures relating to the determination of fair values and the valuation techniques used are presented in note 5.
(vi) Impairment of financial assets
The loss allowances for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Group uses
judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Group’s past history,
existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. Details of the key assumptions
and inputs used are disclosed in note 4.1.
(vii) Impairment of investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying
amount may not be recoverable, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 2.9.
(viii) Business combinations
On the acquisition of a company or business, a determination of the fair value and the useful lives of tangible and intangible
assets acquired is performed, which requires the application of judgement. Future events could cause the assumptions used by
the Group to change which could have an impact on the results and net position of the Group. Further information on business
combination is given in note 2.3 and note 12.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024

4. Financial risk management
4.1 Financial risk factors
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, cash flow and fair value
interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the
volatility of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s cash flows.
The Group’s risk management is predominantly controlled by a central treasury department (group treasury) under policies
approved by the Board of Directors. Group treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the
Group’s operating units. The board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific
areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative
financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.
(i) Market risk
(a) Foreign exchange risk
The Group is exposed to the effect of foreign currency risk on future transactions, recognised monetary assets and liabilities that
are denominated in currencies other than the local entity’s functional currency, as well as net investments in foreign operations.
The Group, via its subsidiaries, is operating in Portugal, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Romania, the Republic of Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia
and Ukraine. The existing operations of the Group abroad refer both in short-term and long-term leases of cars. Due to these
operations, the Group transacts with clients and suppliers and holds assets and liabilities which are expressed in different
currencies than the Euro, which is the reporting currency of the Group. More specifically, the Group’s subsidiaries in Romania, the
Republic of Serbia, Croatia and Ukraine have liabilities/assets in RON, RSD, HRK and UAH respectively. However, these subsidiaries
do not expose the Group to a material exchange rate risk due to their size and the currencies that they use.
(b) Cash flow risk due to changes in interest rates
The cost of borrowing is based on floating interest rates, which expose the Group to cash flow risk due to interest rate fluctuations.
In 2024, 46.9% of the Group's bank borrowings and 39.5% of the Company's bank borrowings are at floating interest rates. The
change is due to the replacement during the year of floating rate borrowings with fixed rate borrowings, aiming to reduce the
Group's exposure to interest rate fluctuations. More details are provided in note 24. In previous years, to hedge against interest
rate risk, the Group had entered into interest rate swap agreements applying hedge accounting. More details are provided in note
17.
The Group's and the Company's overall exposure to changes in interest rates comes from financing through bank borrowing,
finance leases and securitisation of receivables and amounts at the end of the reference period to:

Sensitivity analysis of floating interest rates
The results of the Group and the Company are affected by fluctuations in interest income from cash and cash equivalents and in
financing interest expenses due to changes in interest rates.
Impact on profit before tax:
Group Company 2024 2023 2024 2023 Interest rates increase by 50 bps (2,498,886) (2,964,875) (1,963,643) (2,513,755) Interest rates decrease by 50bps 2,498,886 2,964,875 1,963,643 2,513,755
The accounting policy for interest rate risk hedging is described in note 2.25.
(c) Price risk
The Group’s exposure to equity securities price risk arises from investments held by the Group and classified in the statement of
financial position either as at fair value through other comprehensive income (note 15) or at fair value through profit or loss (note
16).
The Group’s equity investments that are publicly traded on the Athens Stock Exchange are classified as at fair value through other
comprehensive income.
(ii) Credit risk
(a) Risk management
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, as well as credit exposures to wholesale and retail customers, including
outstanding receivables.
If wholesale customers are independently rated, these ratings are used. Otherwise, if there is no independent rating, credit control
assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual
risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the board. The compliance with credit limits
by wholesale customers is regularly monitored by line management.
There are no significant concentrations of credit risk. Sales to retail customers are required to be settled in cash or using major
credit cards, mitigating credit risk. Wholesale operations are conducted after the assessment of the credit-worthiness of the
counterparty, while in most cases, guarantees are received. At the same time, the Company and its subsidiaries continuously
monitor the aging of their claims and take necessary action, as the case may be. Cash and cash equivalents of the company and
its Greek subsidiaries, that represent around 80% of the Group’s total cash and cash equivalents are invested in Greek systemic
financial institutions. As far as foreign subsidiaries are concerned, cash and cash equivalents are invested mainly to local
subsidiaries of international, investment-grade, financial institutions with high credit ratings. Cash and cash equivalents are
invested for short-term. Potential credit risk is also present in the Group's cash flows. Additionally, in most of these cases, the
Group has debt obligations of a higher amount.
(b) Security of claims
For the majority of trade receivables from wholesale customers, the Group obtains security in the form of guarantees which can
be offset with the claimed amounts if the counterparty is in default under the terms of the agreement.

123
(c) Impairment of financial assets
The Group has the following types of financial assets that are subject to the expected credit loss model:
Trade receivables
•Finance lease receivables
While cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9, the identified impairment loss was
immaterial.
Trade receivables and lease receivables
The Group applies the simplified approach of IFRS 9 for the calculation of expected credit losses, in which an expected loss
provision is used for the entire life of trade receivables and finance lease receivables..
Expected loss rates are based on the sales payment profile for a 12-month period prior to 31 December 2024 and the
corresponding historical credit losses incurred during that period. Historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and future
information about macroeconomic factors affecting customers' ability to repay their obligations.
Based on the above, the loss provision for the Group and the Company was determined as follows for both trade receivables and
car lease receivables:
Group 31.12.2024 31.12.2023 Expected Gross carrying Expected Gross carrying Note loss rate amount loss rate amount Current 1.35% 115,067,200 3.68% 91,320,477 More than 30 days past due 20.50% 2,754,162 16.49% 2,465,779 More than 60 days past due 37.27% 855,034 32.51% 811,785 More than 90 days past due 50.02% 465,240 62.92% 643,957 More than 120 days past due 88.34% 7,855,745 84.85% 6,307,420 Total trade receivables 18 7.57% 126,997,381 9.64% 101,549,418 Loss allowance 18 9,608,086 9,786,688 Company 31.12.2024 31.12.2023 Expected Gross carrying Expected Gross carrying Note loss rate amount loss rate amount Current 1.15% 74,081,299 1.93% 50,093,925 More than 30 days past due 4.28% 667,546 4.88% 742,089 More than 60 days past due 13.12% 260,470 13.24% 142,603 More than 90 days past due 19.33% 79,773 17.90% 63,639 More than 120 days past due 77.86% 1,741,093 78.35% 1,849,029 Total trade receivables 18 2.97% 76,830,181 4.69% 52,891,285 Loss allowance 18 2,283,286 2,481,236
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024

The loss allowances movement for trade and lease receivables reconcile is as follows:
Group Company 2024 2023 2024 2023 Balance at the beginning of the year 9,786,688 9,019,863 2,481,236 2,525,910 Increase in loss allowance recognised in profit or 626,286 914,235 - - loss during the year Write-off of loss allowance on receivables deemed (544,896) (55,607) (197,950) (44,674) irrecoverable Unused amount reversed (260,198) (82,184) - - Acquisition of subsidiary - - - - Exchange differences 206 (9,619) - - Balance at the end of the year 9,608,086 9,786,688 2,283,286 2,481,236
Trade receivables and lease receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there
is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the
Group, and a failure to make contractual payments for a reasonable period of time.
Impairment losses on trade receivables and lease receivables are presented as net impairment losses within operating profit.
Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item.
Other financial assets at amortised cost
There are no other financial assets at amortised cost which include loans to related parties and key management personnel and
other receivables.
(iii) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding
through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. At
the end of the reporting period the Group held deposits at call of 97,817,080 (2023 - €76,651,797) that are expected to readily
generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Group maintains
flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines. In addition, the Company through Securitisation of
Future Receivables has assured the financing for the purchase of long-term lease vehicles.
(a) Financing arrangements
The Group and the Company had access to the following undrawn borrowing facilities at the end of the reporting period:
Group Company 2024 2023 2024 2023 Unused bank credit lines 340,407,121 411,801,021 248,552,234 311,315,876
The bank overdraft facilities may be drawn at any time and may be terminated by the bank without notice, while the bank loan
facilities may be drawn at any time and have an average maturity of 3 5 years.

(b) Maturities of financial liabilities
The tables below analyse the Group’s and the Company’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their
contractual maturities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12
months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.
Maturity of borrowings in fair value, including interest, as of 31.12.2024 and 2023 for the Company and the Group is as follows:

4.2 Capital management
(i) Risk management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to:
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
126
safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and
benefits for other stakeholders, and
maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return
capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt
In consistency with market practices, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the following gearing ratio:
Net debt (as the difference between cash and cash equivalents and borrowings, including finance lease liabilities and
securitisation)
divided by
Total “Equity” (as shown in the statement of financial position, including non-controlling interests)
During 2024, the Group’s strategy was to maintain a gearing ratio within 1 to 2 for both the Group and the Company. The gearing
ratios at 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023 were as follows:
Group Company Note 31.12.2024 31.12.2023 31.12.2024 31.12.2023 Borrowings 24 529,784,627 433,623,273 435,577,098 360,930,458 Grants 24 7,560,821 3,473,430 7,560,821 3,473,430 Finance lease liabilties 25 28,853,998 39,304,021 5,054,549 2,498,069 Securitisation 26 220,000,000 180,000,000 220,000,000 180,000,000 Less: Cash and cash equivalents 20 (97,817,080) (76,651,797) (52,541,937) (27,329,584) Net debt 688,382,366 579,748,927 615,650,531 519,572,373 Total equity 489,887,874 455,888,226 350,916,249 334,710,045 Gearing ratio 1.41 1.27 1.75 1.55
(a) Loan covenants
Under the terms of the major borrowing facilities, the Group is required to comply with the following financial covenants:
Net debt to Equity
Net debt to Earnings before tax, financing & investing activities, depreciation & amortisation (EBITDA)
Earnings before tax, financing & investing activities (EBIT) to Net Finance Costs
Earnings before tax, financing & investing activities, depreciation & amortisation (EBITDA) to Net Finance Costs
Total Liabilities to Equity
Total Liabilities less Cash and cash equivalents to Equity
The Group is in compliance with these covenants throughout the reporting period.
(b) Externally imposed capital requirements regarding equity
There are certain limitations regarding equity, deriving from current Societe Anonyme legislation and in particular from Law
4548/2018. The limitations are as follows:
The purchase of own shares - with the exception of purchasing shares with sole purpose to be distributed among its´
employees - cannot exceed 10% of the company’s share capital and cannot result in the reduction of equity to an amount less
than the amount of the share capital increased by the reserves, for which distribution is forbidden by law.
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024
127
In case total equity of the Company becomes less than half (1/2) of the capital, the Board of Directors is obliged to convene
the general meeting, within a period of six (6) months from the end of the year, on the dissolution of the company or the
adoption of another measure. The auditors of the Company have the same obligation, if the Board of Directors does not
convene within the above deadline.
Annually, at least 1/20th of the company’s net profit is deducted to form a statutory reserve, which will be used exclusively
to balance, prior to any dividend distribution, the debit balance in Income Statement. Forming such a reserve is not obligatory,
once it reaches 1/3rd of the company’s share capital.
The payment of an annual dividend to shareholders in cash, at an amount equal to at least 35% of the company’s net earnings,
after deducting the statutory reserve and the net result from the valuation of the company’s assets and liabilities at fair value,
is obligatory. The above does not apply if the general assembly decides it by a majority of at least 65% of the paid-up share
capital. In this case, dividend that hasn’t been distributed and up to an amount equal to 35% of the above mentioned net
earnings, has to be reported as a “Reserve to be Capitalised”, within 4 years’ time by an issue of new shares, given to eligible
shareholders. Finally, a general shareholders meeting can decide not to distribute dividend, if it is decided by a majority of
over 70% of the paid-up share capital.
The Company is in compliance with all obligations deriving from all relevant provisions and regulations relating to equity.
(ii) Dividends
Dividends of 0.70 per ordinary share were paid during 2024 for the year ended 31 December 2023. For the year ended 31
December 2024, the Board of Directors’ proposal for distribution of dividends to the shareholders during 2025 is 0.85 per
ordinary share and will be proposed for approval to the next General Assembly.
5. Fair value hierarchy
To determine the reliability of the data used to determine fair value, the Group has classified non-financial and financial assets
and liabilities measured at fair value into the three levels of the IFRS 13 hierarchy. A description of each level is provided below .
Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the end of the
reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These
instruments are included in level 1.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques
which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant
inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
The Group has classified its financial instruments in the aforementioned 3 levels as follows:
31 December 2024 Note Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Listed equity securities 15 132,087,704 - - 132,087,704 Listed debt securities 15 2,159,653 - - 2,159,653 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Unlisted equity securities 16 - - 2,114,694 2,114,694 134,247,357 - 2,114,694 136,362,051

In addition as of 31.12.2024, the Group owns land and buildings and investment properties measured at fair value of97,138,366
and €35,738,402 respectively, classified as level 3.
Valuation techniques used to determine level 3 fair values:
(i) Land & buildings and investment property
The Group obtains independent valuations for its investment properties at least annually and for land and buildings classified as
property, plant and equipment at least every 1 to 2 years. The last independent valuation of land and buildings was performed in
January 2025 as at 31.12.2024.
At the end of each reporting period, the directors update their assessment of the fair value of each property, taking into account
the most recent independent valuations. The directors determine a property’s value within a range of reasonable fair value
estimates.
The best evidence of fair value is current prices in an active market for similar properties. Where such information is not available
the directors consider information from a variety of sources including:
the current prices in an active market for properties of different nature or recent prices of similar properties in less active
markets, adjusted to reflect those differences
the discounted cash flow projections based on reliable estimates of future cash flows
capitalised income projections based upon a property’s estimated net market income, and a capitalisation rate derived from
an analysis of market evidence
The fair value of real estate is estimated using the income approach method, the sales comparison approach, the replacement
cost method (when no comparative rentals or sales are available) and the residual value method in cases of empty lots or
calculation of building balance value.
The value of owned-used and investment properties is also estimated using the above-mentioned methods depending on the use
of the property. The value of land is calculated using the sales comparison approach, when such data exists, or using the residual
method or a combination of the two.
(ii) Unlisted securities
The value of unlisted securities is determined based on the management’s estimates of the expected future profitability of unlisted
securities, taking into consideration comparative data of similar assets.

6. Segmental analysis

Goodwill arises from (a) the acquisition of HYUNDAI HELLAS INDUSTRIAL & TRADING SA and KIA HELLAS INDUSTRIAL & TRADING
SA in 2017 amounting to €25,939,818, (b) the acquisition of AUTOTECHNICA FLEET SERVICES d.o.o. in Croatia in 2016 amounting
to €1,312,539, (c) DERASCO TRADING LIMITED amounting to €45,473 and (d) the acquisition of HR - ALUGUER DE AUTOMÓVEIS
S.A. in 2022 amounting to €16,159,605.
(i) Goodwill per operating segment
Goodwill is monitored by management at the level of the three operating segments presented in note 6.
31.12.2024 31.12.2023 Trade of cars - spare parts & services 25,985,291 25,985,291 International activity of car rentals and cars sales 17,472,144 17,472,144 Total goodwill 43,457,435 43,457,435
(ii) Impairment testing of goodwill
The Group tests goodwill on an annual basis, by assessing cash generating units (CGUs) for potential impairment. The recoverable
amount of CGUs was determined by value-in-use calculations that require the use of assumptions. The calculations used cash flow
forecasts based on management-approved budgets covering a period of five years. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are
calculated on the basis of the assumptions set out below, which are consistent with the forecasts for the industry in which each
CGU operates.
The basic assumptions adopted as at 31 December 2024 for the testing of goodwill arising from the acquisition of HR - ALUGUER
DE AUTOMÓVEIS S.A. are the following:
Discount rate: 8% - 10% (2023: 8% -10%)
Sales Growth Rate: 3% - 5% (2023: 4% - 6%)
Perpetuity Growth Rate: 2% (2023: 2%)
The basic assumptions adopted as at 31 December 2024 for the testing of goodwill arising from the acquisition of AUTOTECHNICA
FLEET SERVICES d.o.o. are the following:
Discount rate: 8% - 10% (2023: 8 -10%)
Sales Growth Rate: 2% - 4% (2023: 2 -4%)
Perpetuity Growth Rate: 1% (2023: 1%)
It is noted that in 2018, the year of the first full consolidation of HYUNDAI HELLAS INDUSTRIAL & TRADING SA and KIA HELLAS
INDUSTRIAL & TRADING SA after their acquisition in December 2017, the former's revenue amounted to €60.5 million with profit
before tax of €5.8 million and the latter's revenue amounted to €30.8 million with profit before tax of €1.9 million. In 2024 the
revenue of HYUNDAI HELLAS amounted to 175.7 million with profit before tax of 13.4 million and the revenue of KIA HELLAS
amounted to €89.9 million with profit before tax of 7.1 million. It is evident that the development of the 2 subsidiaries in the last
5 years is particularly important. Therefore, the assumptions under which impairment of their goodwill would arise are unrealistic.
Impairment testing as of 31 December 2024 has not resulted in an impairment of goodwill. Additionally, if the assumptions used
as at 31 December 2024 were further aggravated by 10%, the carrying value of goodwill would still not require any impairment.

(i) Hedging instruments used by the Group and the Company
Between November 2021 up to December 2023, the Company had entered into 14 interest rate swap agreements totaling
€275,000,000. In November 2023, the Company sold 9 interest rate swap agreements with a total nominal value of €150,000,000,
which it had held during the year.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had 5 active interest rate swap agreements, which were used in effective cash flow
hedging relationships of the Company, with a total nominal value of €125,000,000.
In January 2024, the Company entered into one additional interest rate swap agreement for an amount of €25,000,000.
During the 2024 fiscal year, the Company terminated all interest rate swap agreements amounting to €150,000,000, partly due to
the repayment of a portion of the bond loans designated to these agreements and partly due to the conversion of terms of the
remaining associated borrowings from floating to fixed interest rates.
As a result of the above, the Company received a net amount of €569,000, while the accumulated deferred gain that existed in
equity, amounting to €9,897,454, was reclassified to profit or loss.
(ii) Effects of interest rate swaps on financial position and performance
The effects of interest rate swaps on the financial position and performance of the Group and the Company are as follows:
Group Company 2024 2023 2024 2023 Interest rate swaps Carrying amount (Current and non-current) - (960,959) - (960,959) Notional amount - 125,000,000 - 125,000,000 Maturity date - 2026-2027 - 2026-2027 Hedge ratio 100% 100% 100% 100% Change in intrinsic value of hedging instruments since 716,917 (960,960) 716,917 (960,960) inception of the hedge Change in value of hedged item used to determine hedge 695,688 (747,161) 695,688 (747,161) effectiveness
For the periods ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, following both qualitative and quantitative assessments of the effectiveness
of the hedge accounting relationships using the hypothetical derivative method, both at the inception of the hedge and
prospectively, the Group and the Company concluded that there was a high economic correlation between the hedging
instruments (interest rate swap agreements) and the hedged items (floating rate loan interest payments).
The excess amount of the cumulative change (ineffective part) in the fair value of the hedging instruments in relation to the
corresponding change in the hedged items has been recognised as ineffectiveness in the results in the line "Other gains/losses -
net" and amounts to a loss of 177,812 for the year (2023: loss €540,190).

More details about the Group’s impairment policies and the calculation of the loss allowance are provided in note 4.1.
In the current environment affected by the energy and the financial crisis, the Group actively monitors the recoverability of trade
receivables to ensure that any impairment provisions are reflected in a timely manner and in accordance with Management's best
estimate of potential losses, as required by IFRS 9. The fair value of trade and other receivables approximates the carrying value.
Other receivables primarily relate to the securitization reserve and items associated with the securitization, as well as billings
related to other income, e.g., rents, contracts, etc. The non-current other receivables are due and payable within 2 to 3 years from
the end of the reporting period.
Further information relating to balances with related parties and key management personnel is set out in note 40.

(i) Statutory reserve
The statutory reserve is created under the provisions of Greek law according to which an amount of at least 5% of the profit (after
tax) for the year must be transferred to the reserve until it reaches one third of the paid share capital. The statutory reserve can
only be used with the approval of the Annual General Meeting of shareholders to offset accumulated losses and therefore cannot
be used for any other purpose.
(ii) Special reserve
This reserve relates to special reserves from income taxed by special tax scheme formed based on special provisions of Greek tax
legislation and refers to a) earnings from sale of a non-listed company which are tax-exempted since they are not distributed. In
any other case they would not be exempted from regular tax regulation and b) dividends received.
(iii) Hedging reserve
The hedging reserve comprises the cash flow hedge reserve. The cash flow hedge reserve is used to recognise the effective portion
of gains or losses from derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, as described in note 2.25. The amounts
are then reclassified to the statement of profit or loss, as appropriate.
(iv) Other reserves
Other reserves were created from the merger of VAKAR S.A., VELMAR S.A. and TECHNOCAR S.A. In addition, Other Reserves
include exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign controlled entities are recognised in other comprehensive
income as described in note 2.5 and accumulated in a separate reserve within equity. The cumulative amount is reclassified to
profit or loss when the net investment is disposed of.
Other reserves also include the portion of the net income carried forward every year that comes from tax-free profits and profits
taxed under special provisions by using up the tax liability. The aforementioned reserves can be capitalised or distributed following
the approval of the Annual General Meeting, after taking into consideration the restrictions that may apply. In case of
capitalisation or distribution, tax is calculated at the current tax rate.

Finance costs related to leases are presented in note 35.
The above breakdown into finance and operating leases has been made for information purposes and is not required by IFRS 16.
26. Securitisation
In July 2024, the Company entered into a €220 million financing agreement through the securitization of receivables with the
National Bank of Greece (NBG). This agreement replaced the existing agreement with JP Morgan. The securitization is related to
receivables from long-term lease contracts (Asset Backed Securitization). This financing is non-recourse to other assets of the
Company. The purpose of this financing is to finance the purchase of cars for the needs of replacing and expanding the fleet of
long-term leases. As of December 31, 2024, the financing amount stood at €220 million, and the expected revolving duration of
this financing is 24 months.
Autohellas (Transferor) proceeded with the sale of business receivables arising from long-term lease contracts to Autowheel DAC
(Acquirer) under the provisions of securitization according to Law 3156/2003. Autowheel DAC is a special purpose vehicle based
in Dublin, Ireland, with the exclusive purpose of acquiring business receivables as defined in paragraph 2 of Article 10 of Law
3156/2003. The securitization transaction involves the true sale of receivables to the special purpose vehicle Autowheel DAC.
These business receivables include future lease payments from long-term leases and the estimated proceeds from the sale of
related vehicles, the ownership of which remains with the Company.
Autohellas, under a contract with Autowheel DAC, acts as the Servicer for a fee, meaning it is responsible for monitoring and
collecting receivables from customers whose lease payments have been transferred and subsequently transferring them to
Autowheel DAC. Its role is exclusively to collect on behalf of the noteholders (through Autohellas as the servicer) for the repayment
of the Notes issued and to generally serve the interests of the noteholders until their repayment.
Autowheel DAC is not controlled by Autohellas. The securitization agreement is a non-recourse agreement to other assets of
Autohellas. Evaluating the criteria of IFRS regarding the independence and autonomy of Autowheel, its legal isolation as a separate
entity, its design and purpose, and the fact that Autohellas does not have decision-making power in this entity, Autowheel DAC is
not consolidated in the consolidated financial statements of Autohellas.
Autowheel DAC, with the proceeds received from the purchase of business receivables, issued Series A and Series B Notes. The
Series A Notes (Senior Notes) were acquired by the investor (NBG) and the Series B Notes (Subordinated Notes) were acquired by
Autohellas in compliance with European legislation for the retention of minimum risk by the Transferor. Only after the full
repayment of the Series A Notes can the repayment of the Series B Notes begin.
This securitization has a 24-month replenishment period ending on 20.07.2026. During this period, Autohellas retains the ability
to transfer new business receivables from long-term lease contracts each month to maintain the securitization amount at the
desired level. Only after the replenishment period has elapsed, and only if it is not renewed, does the repayment of the notes by
Autowheel DAC begin.

The weighted average interest rate of the securitization has been included in the calculations of note 35.
27. Post-employment benefits
For the Company and the Group entities based in Greece, the benefit obligations relate to the requirements under law 2112/1920
as amended by law 4093/2012 based on the years of employment of each employee. The liability is measured and depicted on
the basis of the expected entitlement of each employee at the reporting date or in the interim financial statements, discounted
to the present value, in relation to the expected time of payment.
(i) Amounts in the Statement of Financial Position
The amounts recognised in the Statement of Financial Position and the movements in the net benefit obligation over the year are
as follows:
Group Company 2024 2023 2024 2023 Balance at the beginning of the year 2,206,863 1,795,012 1,003,036 871,620 Amounts recognised in profit or loss: Current service cost 250,884 219,046 94,350 88,060 Interest expense 65,767 50,260 29,890 24,405 Past service cost and (gains)/losses on 253,765 215,242 184,876 116,366 settlements/curtailments Total 570,416 484,548 309,116 228,831 Amounts recognised in other comprehensive income: (Gain) / Loss from change in demographic assumptions 1,033 - 1,248 - (Gain) / Loss from change in financial assumptions 21,718 (30,535) 7,937 (12,133) Experience (gain) / losses 48,793 240,191 40,627 64,296 Total 71,544 209,656 49,812 52,163 Other Benefits paid (434,439) (282,353) (275,925) (149,578) Total (434,439) (282,353) (275,925) (149,578) Balance at the end of the year 2,414,384 2,206,863 1,086,039 1,003,036
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024

(ii) Actuarial assumptions
The principal actuarial assumptions used for the Group and the Company are as follows:
Group Company 2024 2023 2024 2023 Economic assumptions: Discount rate 2.78% 2.98% 2.78% 2.98% Inflation rate 2.00% 2.10% 2.00% 2.10% Salary growth rate 2.10% 2.10% 2.10% 2.10%
(iii) Sensitivity analysis
Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions
constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown below:
Group Company 31.12.2024 31.12.2023 31.12.2024 31.12.2023 Increase in discount rate by 0.5% (56,922) (82,415) (22,343) (20,925) Decrease in discount rate by 0.5% 59,230 24,325 23,034 21,823 Increase in salary growth rate by 0.5% 52,265 17,292 17,928 17,169 Decrease in salary growth rate by 0.5% (50,960) (76,386) (17,323) (16,617)
The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice,
this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the benefit
obligation to significant actuarial assumptions, the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with
the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the benefit liability
recognised in the Statement of Financial Position.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.

Management has assessed the effect of climate change and the negative impact it may have on the Group's activities and assets.
In this assessment, management took into account the wide geographical dispersion of the Group's facilities in Greece and Europe,
as well as the extensive insurance coverage against extreme weather phenomena and climatic disasters on its assets, and
concluded that there is no need to form a relevant provision in the financial statements as at 31.12.2024.

(iii) Reconciliation of effective tax rate
The income tax of the Company and the Group differs from the theoretical amount that would arise using the applicable tax rate
on the results of the Company and the Group. The difference is as follows:
Group Company Note 2024 2023 2024 2023 Profit before tax 105,391,512 106,140,759 78,551,053 71,751,013 Tax calculated at domestic tax rate applicable to profits in the respective 24,658,793 26,877,559 17,281,232 15,785,224 countries Income not subject to tax (11,117,117) (8,044,141) (9,018,025) (6,307,529) Expenses not deductible for tax purposes 1,692,673 1,825,474 931,195 1,111,749 Tax losses for which no deferred income 646,815 421,879 - - tax asset was recognized OECD Pillar II top-up tax 220,562 - 184,357 - Other (208,700) 74,510 (111,060) (206,316) Total tax 15,893,026 21,155,281 9,267,699 10,383,128
(iv) OECD Pillar II” model rules
The Group is subject to the standard rules of OECD Pillar II (OECD Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion Rules). According to these
rules, the Group is required to pay a supplemental tax (top-up tax) for the difference between the effective tax rate (GloBE
effective tax rate) in each tax jurisdiction and the minimum rate of 15%.
The Group has applied the mandatory exemption under IAS 12 regarding the recognition and disclosure of information on deferred
tax assets and liabilities related to income taxes under Pillar Two.
The additional tax (top-up tax) concerns the difference that arises from comparing the GloBE effective tax rate by country of
operation with the minimum rate of 15%. For the reporting year, the Group incurred a supplemental tax related to the Pillar II
rules, totaling €220,562, which is allocated between Cyprus and Bulgaria, with amounts of €184,357 and €36,205 respectively.

Greek tax regulations and related clauses are subject to interpretation by the tax authorities and administrative courts of law. Tax
returns are filed annually. The profits or losses declared for tax purposes remain provisional until such time as the tax authorities
examine the tax declarations and the records of the tax payer and a final assessment is issued. From the fiscal year 2011 and
onwards, the tax returns are subject to the audit tax certificate process (as described below). Net operating losses which are tax
deductible, can be carried forward against taxable profits for a period of five years from the year they are generated.
The Company recognizes provisions for taxes that may arise from audits of unaudited fiscal years, based on its experience.
(i) Tax audit certificate
Regarding the Company and the subsidiaries based in Greece, the years 2011 to 2023 have been audited by the elected by
L. 4548/2018 tax auditor, in accordance with article 82 of L.2238/1994 and article 65A of Law 4771/13, and the relevant tax
compliance reports have been issued. According to POL. 1006/05.01.2016, companies that submitted a tax compliance report
without remarks for tax violations are not excluded from conducting a regular tax audit by tax authorities. Therefore, it is possible
that tax authorities will demand to conduct their tax audit. However, the Company’s management estimates that the results from
potential regular tax audits from tax authorities, if conducted, will not have a significant effect on the company’s financial position.
Similarly, the tax audit for the Parent Company and its subsidiaries based in Greece for the year 2024 is carried out by the statutory
Annual Financial Report 31.12.2024

auditor. Upon completion of the tax audit, management does not expect to incur significant tax liabilities other than those
recorded and reflected in the financial statements.
39. Commitments
There are no capital commitments regarding the acquisition of tangible and intangible assets.
