|
Consolidated Turnover for the 9-month period of 2007 increased by 13,4% amounting to euros 177,9 million against euros 156,9 million in the same period in 2006. The said increase is due 7,4% to the rise in sales volume and 6% to the increase in sales prices. Worthy of note is that approximately 11% of the Consolidated Turnover is generated by Group sales in the States.
However, despite the negative development in the euro/dollar exchange rate and the continuous increase in PP prices throughout 2007, the Consolidated EBITDA remained at approximately the same levels as last year, reaching euros 21,7 million compared with euros 21,8 million in the same 9-month period of 2006.
The Consolidated Earnings before Taxes amounted to euros 9,4 million euro in the 9-month period of 2007, down 14,3% compared with last year, due to increased financial costs.
The Consolidated Earnings after Taxes and Minority Interest amounted to euros 7,1 million for the 9-month period of 2007, against euros 7,9 million in the respective period of 2006 (-10,5%).
The Net Equity of the Group on 30.09.2007, amounted to euros 105,9 million while the debt: equity ratio remained at the levels of 0,7.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE NINE MONTH PERIOD OF 2007 (I.F.R.S.)
NIKAS SA Group of companies released its financial results for the nine month period of 2007, according to the International Financial Reporting Standards (I.F.R.S.).
The company's course improved in the third quarter of 2007, within which came out the first signs of the restructuring and recovery strategy that was implemented in the last months. More specifically, the strategic products organic growth stood at 3.5%, while other products sales reduced by 5% as a result of the company's decision to disengage from the trading of products that are not aligned with the company's strategy and are characterised by low profitability.
Group gross profit margin for the third quarter of 2007 increased and stood at 27.4% over 26.8% in the respective period in 2006. This improvement is attributed to the focus in profitable activities and to the productivity increase in the production and sales activities.
Accordingly, Group EBITDA increased significantly by 15.3% in the third quarter of 2007 and stood at euros 3.6 mil. versus euros 3.1 mil. in the third quarter of 2006. This improvement is attributed both to the 4.4% reduction of operating cost and to the boost of the organic growth and the financial results of affiliated companies in the third quarter of 2007. Finally, profits after taxes and minorities marked an increase of 54.5% in the third quarter of 2007 standing at euros 1,180 thou, over euros 762 thou in the respective period last year.
Regarding the nine month period of 2007, consolidated turnover stood at euros 76.4 mil. over euros 80.8 mil. in the respective period last year, marking a 5.5% decrease, while the Group's activities organic change, excluding the feta production unit "PLATAION S.A.", which was sold on 30/4/2006, marked a 0.5% decrease. Respectively, Group EBITDA in the nine month period of 2007 stood at euros 7.0 mil., while results after taxes and minorities amounted to losses of euros 736 thou, significantly decreased as compared to losses of euro 1,916 thou in the first half of 2007, as a result of the positive course in the third quarter. Please note that 2007 nine month period results include taxes amounting to euros 1.4 mil., which resulted from the regular tax audit of the fiscal years 2004 and 2005.
Having implemented a complete restructuring program in the Group, NIKAS SA is targeting its efforts in the evolvement of its strategic products and the rationalization of the operating cost. The results of the program have already been depicted in the third quarter of 2007, while the Group's course in the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year is expected to be considerably positive, as regards the growth of its activities and the improvement of its financial figures.
Note: The Financial Statements of the nine month period of 2007 will be available at the company?s website www.nikas.gr and will be published on the daily financial press on Friday November 23, 2007

PUBLIC POWER CORPORATION SA : Announcement
|
Á. Referring to a report in a newspaper (23/11/2007) which states, among other, that according to information, Mr. Athanassopoulos said to institutional investors that by the end of the year PPC shall receive from the State approximately 400 mil. Euro, owed to the Company due to Public Service Obligations (PSOs), i.e. arising from electricity sold in the islands below cost, PPC would like to clarify that:
1. The Chairman and CEO of PPC Mr. Takis Athanassopoulos, never stated that by the end of the year PPC will receive from the State approximately 400 mil. Euro owed to the Company due to PSOs.
2. In PPC's Strategic Priorities that were presented to the analysts during the afternoon of Wednesday 21/11/07 after the end of trading session of the Athens Stock Exchange - which presentation was uploaded on the company's web site on the same day - a chapter is included which refers to PPC's proposals on electricity tariffs' increases, as well as to a proposal concerning the unbundled structure of the tariffs in question. According to the proposal presented by PPC, in the unbundled tariffs - and more specifically in the regulated component of the tariffs - is included that part which, according to PPC, corresponds to a reasonable return for the provision of PSOs and which, based on Company's estimations, amounts to euro 7.6 per MWh.
3. Following the presentation and responding to a question as to what part of the proposed tariffs' increase corresponds to PSOs, the Chairman and CEO of PPC referred to RAE's publicized opinion on the relevant calculation methodology, which in case it is approved, would correspond to an amount of 437 million Euro for PSOs, for the year 2007.
Consequently, the Chairman and CEO of PPC never stated that PPC will receive 400 million Euro for PSOs, by the end of 2007.
Â. Until today, the Regulator has not informed PPC with respect to any decision referring to the Company's proposal for tariff increases, as this proposal is stated in PPC's Strategic Priorities.
