ELGEKA S.A. : PRESS RELEASE FOR THE FINANCIAL RESULTS OF ELGEKA WITHIN FIRST QUARTER PERIOD 2012
|
Thessaloniki, May 31st, 2012
The first quarter of 2012 is a continuation of last year regarding the level of the recession affecting the Greek economy. The domestic business environment continues to deteriorate, political uncertainty intensifies the problem, while lack of liquidity is present in every aspect of economic activity.
ELGEKA Group managed to maintain its sales (-3.4%) mainly due to the significant increase of activity in the segment of "Logistics" (+26.1%), as a result of both growing cooperation with Cosco Group as well as due to the new agreements made in recent months through the subsidiary company "DIAKINISIS S.A.". Particularly important is also the fact of generating strong operating cash flows (3.2 million euro) as a consequence of optimal management of the operating cycle of the Group. However, the reduced gross margin combined with the continually growing financial cost led to the deterioration of profitability.
Specifically, consolidated turnover amounted to 85.2 million euro compared to 88.2 million in the corresponding period of 2011. Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to 2.2 million euro compared to 2.7 million euro in the corresponding period of 2011, presenting a decrease of 16.8%, while pre-tax loss amounted to 1.8 million euro compared to profit of 0.1 million euro in the comparable period. The loss after tax and non-controlling interest amounted to 1.7 million in the first quarter of 2012 comparing to loss of 0.5 million euro in the corresponding period of 2011.
The Summary Financial Data and Information for the period 01.01.2012 - 31.03.2012 are published in press today Thursday, May 31, 2012, in newspaper “XRIMATISTIRIO” and are available, along with the Interim Financial Statements of the same period in the company’s website (www.elgeka.gr), as well as in Athens Exchange website (www.athex.gr).

|
The annual briefing for members of Institutional Investors was held on May 25, 2012, by the management of PPA SA, in the offices of the ASE.The Company, its business and the financial results for 2011 were presented by the Chairman of the Board and CEO of PPA SA, Mr. Y. Anomeritis, the Managing Director, Mr. P. Petroulis, the General Director, Mr. St. Hatzakos, and the Financial Director, Ms. E. Venardou. The management referred to the important events and actions that took place during 2011 including the expansion of the Car Terminal of N.Ikonio, the signing of a cooperation agreement with MSC, the second largest shipping company in the industry worldwide, the full operation of Pier I Container Terminal, the signing of an amicable settlement between PCT SA (COSCO) and PPA SA on issues of the Concession Agreement, the significant increase (35%) of cruise passengers, as well as the adoption decrees for integration of new major projects in the NSRF. The handling of goods and passengers through the port of Piraeus and the financial results for the year 2011, with emphasis on the fact of maintaining the Company's profitability, were analyzed for the institutional investors. The significant reduction in wage costs following the implementation of relevant laws and measures taken by the administration in that direction was also referred to. The state of implementation of major investment projects that will increase the capacity of the Container Terminal, the Cruise Terminal and Car Terminal and enhance the competitive position of the port were also spoken of. In 2011 the port of Piraeus acquired from ESPO the title ecological port (ECOPORT), a title that is also certified by Lloyds. At the Container Terminal the decline of the domestic load is offset by the increase of international transit cargo. The Administration continues its efforts to attract old and new clients. During the first quarter of 2012 166.000 TEU's were handled, compared to 113.990 TEU's in the corresponding period last year.As for Cruise, 850 ships are expected to arrive at the port of Piraeus, meaning that traffic levels are kept high. At the Car Terminal, the projects to upgrade and increase the capacity of the Terminal have been completed, which combined with the coordinated contact with customers, is expected to further increase transit traffic. PPA SA, both to support the cruise industry, and for reasons of corporate social responsibility, moves on the creation of the Cultural Coast of Piraeus, for the financing of which a Memorandum of Understanding with the Region of Attica has been signed. As the President and CEO of PPA SA, Mr. Yiorgos Anomeritis, told members of the Institutional Investors of ASE: "Through our strategy PPA SA has been profitable for the third consecutive year, we support any reform within the European institutional model of port industries, and we have made Piraeus the center of Culture and Tourism under a concrete business plan development." As far as the prospects of the year 2012, despite the uncertainty about the course of the international economy and the prolonged recession of the Greek economy, the financial performance of the organization is expected to be profitable. |
