In Q1 2024, the Group and the Company achieved a strong financial performance in terms of Revenue (GGR) and Net gaming revenue (NGR), both increased compared to the previous period. This increase reflects the ongoing trend of the organic growth within the Group which has been primarily driven by the strong results of the online and VLT operations (+15.6% and +2.5% respectively in GGR) and the constant resilience of the retail sector.

Despite the observed increase in gaming activity during the period, the financial performance of both the Group and the Company has not adequately reflected this trend. In terms of EBITDA, the variations are presented negative due to higher operating expenses, in particular front-loaded marketing expenses, to support recent launch of Eurojackpot and revamp of Lotto and Tzoker as well as higher payroll and other operating expenses.

As far as the cash flows are concerned:

    • the cash inflows from operating activities demonstrate the strong operating profitability, however they are decreased compared to the previous period, mainly due to the increased income tax payments made by both the Group and the Company within 2023, as a result of the increased taxable income of the year 2022 compared to 2021.
  • the significant variation in cash outflows from financing activities is attributed to a repayment of a loan of € 100,000 th. that the Company proceeded during the Q1 2023 and the acquisition of treasury shares of € 31,752 th. during the Q1 2024 based on the prevailing share Buy-back programme.

B. Main developments during the first quarter of 2024 and their effect on the

interim management statement

Developments regarding Greek horse races

On 30.01.2024, HORSE RACES SINGLE MEMBER S.A., after having informed all parties involved, proceeded to the cessation of the organization and conduct of Greek horse races, following its release, pursuant to article 3.1 (ix) of the 24.04.2015 Concession Agreement, from the relevant obligation, given that the number of the registered horses with the Greek Jockey Club has fallen and consistently remains below 300 on average for the last two consecutive Concession Years (2022 and 2023). In addition, on the above date, HORSE RACES SINGLE MEMBER S.A. exercised its contractual right to terminate the 24.04.2015 Lease Agreement of Markopoulo Racecourse. The leasehold was delivered to the lessor ODIE S.A. under special liquidation on 01.04.2024.

Regarding the above developments, it is noted that HORSE RACES SINGLE MEMBER S.A., from 2016 and onwards, has made every reasonable and best effort for the revival and development of the Greek horse racing activity, which already before the time of its takeover by the company had fallen into an extremely precarious situation. However, despite the significant and long-term efforts of HORSE RACES SINGLE MEMBER S.A. and its continuous major investments (amounting to dozens of millions of euros), by far exceeding the contractual obligations of the company, Greek horse races and mutual betting on Greek races kept declining significantly, thus leading eventually to an irreversible situation, as evidenced by the dramatic decline in the number of registered horses with the Greek Jockey Club. In that context, despite the above efforts of the company, Greek horse races steadily remained a hugely loss-making and unsustainable business.

It is noted that the activity of HORSE RACES SINGLE MEMBER S.A. in relation to the provision of mutual betting on foreign horse races is not affected by the above developments and normally continues, under the 24.04.2015 Concession Agreement, which the company strictly adheres to.

Finally, the financial impact of the abovementioned events was incorporated into the 2023 Group Financial Statements.

Consequently, the total shareholders remuneration for the fiscal year 2023 amounted to € 1.862297036 per share.
