The favourable performance of our Shopping Centres compared to the rest of the retail market in Greece proves the fact that they have overwhelmingly won the preference of the consumer public.

Office buildings had a positive contribution of €0,9 million to the semi-annual Group profitability, same as the equivalent period last year.

Total EBITDA before valuations reached €16,0 million, showing an increase of 10,3% which is mainly attributed to the increase in the operational profitability of our Shopping Centers. Net Consolidated Loss for the period amounted to €14,3 million compared to €6,8 million in the first semester of 2014. The negative results are mainly attributed to the fair value losses of our investment portfolio that reached €20,6 mil. in the first half of the year (a figure increased by €13,4 mil. versus the equivalent period last year).

Net Asset Value reached €410 million (€5,21 per share) compared to €430,7 million on 31/12/2014. The successful completion of the cash Share Capital Increase in July 2014 as well as the sale of treasury shares contributed a net amount of €162 million to the Net Asset Value.
