ELVAL Group announces the financial results for the 1st half 2010 based on International Financial Reporting Standards.
ELVAL Company and ELVAL Group continued their profitable performance during the second quarter as well. Due to the strong export orientation of the Group, the problems facing the Greek economy had an impact only on extrusion sector. On the contrary, recovery was registered in the rolling sector in most markets, this leading to increased demand and, thus, a considerable increase of the volume of both production and sales at the plants at Inofyta and England (BRIDGNORTH).
During the first half 2010, the consolidated turnover amounted to € 451.3 million compared to € 328 million during the respective last-year period, thus registering a 37.6% increase. The gross profits amounted to € 36.8 million compared to € 24.3 million, being increased by 51.3%; consolidated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) increased by 69.8% and stood at € 32.2 million compared to € 19 million in the first half of 2009 while consolidated pre-tax results amounted to profits of € 7.7 million compared to losses of € 6.9 million during the respective last-year period. Finally, the Group's results after taxes and minority interests amounted to profits of € 2.7 million compared to losses of € 5.1 million during the respective last-year period, namely earnings per share stood at € 0.0217 compared to losses of € 0.0413 per share in the first half of 2009.
Accordingly, the company turnover amounted to € 288.6 million, registering a 46.8% increase compared to the respective last-year period, being considerably affected by the volume of sales. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) stood at € 16.5 million compared to € 10.9 million in the first half of 2009, thus increasing by 50.7%. Post-tax results amounted to profits of € 3.8 million compared to losses of € 1 million during the respective last-year period, namely earnings per share stood at € 0.0308 compared to losses of € 0.0083 per share.
In the context of the investment plan, all the Group's investment expenses stood at € 21.4 million, of which the amount of € 11.5 million concerns the parent company ELVAL while actions aiming at the Group's more effective restructuring pursued. In May, the absorption of ETALBOND S.A. by ELVAL COLOUR S.A. was completed, while during August the subsidiary ETEM S.A. transferred to ELVAL its holding in ANOXAL and ELVAL COLOUR SA.
Finally, although the current conditions in the markets in which the Group operates appear stable and point to a gradual upward performance, we are constantly vigilant so as to adapt our strategy adequately and timely to any eventual change of the circumstances in the international markets. At the same time, we still lay emphasis on penetration into new markets, enrichment of our product base, control of production cost and boosting of the liquidity of Group companies.
Note: The financial results of ELVAL Group for the first half 2010 are published on 27 August 2010 in 'EXPRESS' newspaper and will be uploaded on the company's website (www.elval.gr) and the website of the Athens Stock Exchange (www.athex.gr).

ATTICA HOLDINGS S.A. : 1st HALF 2010 RESULTS
HIGH FUEL COSTS AND THE CONTINUING FINANCIAL CRISIS AFFECT THE GROUP?S RESULTS WHICH SHOW AFTER TAX LOSSES OF EURO 32 MLN IN 1st HALF 2010
STRONG TRAFFIC VOLUME INCREASE ON OUR VESSELS IN THE ROUTES TO CRETE
THE TWO NEWBUILDINGS FOR THE DOMESTIC MARKET PROGRESS AS PLANNED AT DAEWOO YARD IN KOREA
The Board of Directors of Attica Holdings S.A. (Attica Group) announces the Group's 1st half 2010 financial results which show consolidated Revenues of Euro 125.79mln (Euro 139.93mln in H1 2009), reduced by 10%, and Earnings before taxes, investing and financial results, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of Euro -7.29mln (Euro 13.65mln). Attica's consolidated results which include a one-off special tax contribution of Euro 2.8mln show after tax Losses of Euro 31.99mln against Consolidated after Tax Losses of Euro 11.40mln in the period January to June 2009. Attica's sales are derived by 60% from its domestic ferry operations and by 40% from its international ferry operations in the Greece-Italy routes where the Group's fleet operated 20% less sailings due to the sale of Superfast V in February 2010.
The fluctuations in the world price of fuel and the USD/Euro parity from which Attica's fleet bunker costs are derived, play an important role in the Group's results. It must be noted that, compared to the first six months of 2009, in the 1st half of the current year bunkering costs increased by 50%, and therefore affected significantly the operating costs of the vessels. In addition to the known seasonality of the ferry business with the first half of each year being slow compared to remainder of the year, the continuing adverse financial environment caused a further reduction in traffic.
In this climate, Attica?s management completed successfully a Euro 41.6mln capital increase and proceeded with the sale of one Superfast vessel. The disposal of Superfast V added Euro 38.8mln to the cash balances of the Group. In terms of capital expenditure in the 1st half of this year, the amount of Euro 26.1mln was advanced to complete the total advance payments to Daewoo shipyard for the building of the two ultramodern car-passenger ferries, ordered in June 2009, which will be delivered in May 2011 and January 2012. As at 30th June 2010, Attica's cash balances stood at Euro 33.49mln versus Euro 16.87mln at year end 2009.
Attica's H1 10 results as well as those of the corresponding period in 2009, are reported under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and as at 30th June 2010, show Total Equity Euro 493.51mln (Euro 471.05mln as at 31st December, 2009) and Fixed Assets (ships) at Euro 751.45mln (Euro 738.06mln as at 31st December, 2009).
The Group's annual results include Interest Expenses of Euro 6.30mln against Euro 9.04mln and depreciation charges of Euro 13.53mln against Euro 13.91mln in H1 09.
TRAFFIC VOLUMES - MARKET SHARES
Attica operates four Superfast ferries in the Greece-Italy market and eight Blue Star and one Superfast ferry in the domestic market. According to statistical data derived by the Greek Port Authorities, total traffic in the Greece-Italy ferry routes in the Adriatic Sea in the first half of 2010, showed 3.4% increase in passengers, 4.3% increase in private vehicles and 4.3% drop in freight units.
In this market and in particular in the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Ancona and v.v. and in the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Bari and v.v routes, Superfast I, Superfast II, Superfast VI, Superfast XI and Superfast V until she was sold in February, carried in 20% less sailings than in H1 09, 253,647 passengers (8.0% decrease), 60,586 freight units (10.5% decrease) and 54,601 private vehicles (2.7% increase) maintaining the leading position in all categories of traffic with market shares of 33.0% in passengers, 30.8% in freight units and 31.2% in private vehicles on the total passenger, freight unit and private vehicle traffic.
In the domestic ferry routes to the islands, (Piraeus and Rafina to the Cycladic islands, Piraeus to the Dodekanese islands and Piraeus to Herakleion and to Chania, Crete), the Group?s vessels, Blue Star 1, Blue Star 2, Blue Star Paros, Blue Star Naxos, Blue Star Ithaki, Superferry II, Diagoras, Blue Horizon and Superfast XII, carried 1,720,154 passengers, (2.2% decrease), 78,029 freight units (9,0% increase) and 227,580 private vehicles (2,8% decrease) in 9% more sailings compared to the 1st half 2009 due to the rerouting of Superfast XII and the Blue Horizon from the Greece-Italy routes to the new Piraeus-Herakleion, and Piraeus-Chania routes as of March 2009 and April 2010 respectively.
The Group's vessels steadily capture the leading position in the Cycladic and the Dodekanese routes whereas in the Piraeus ? Herakleion link, in her first year of operation, Superfast XII has gained over 20% market share in all categories of traffic.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
SALE OF SUPERFAST V
