II.ANNUAL MANAGEMENT REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2024 ON THE CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Dear Shareholders,
Pursuant to the provisions of Law 4548/2018 and Law 3556/2007 article 4 paragraph 2c, 6, 7 and 8, of article 2 of the decisions issued thereon 8/754/14.04.2016 of the Board of Directors of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission and the Company’s Articles of Association, we are hereby submitting to you the Annual Report of the Board of Directors for the closing year from 01.01.2024 to 31.12.2024.
This report contains financial and non‐financial information regarding GEK TERNA Group, for the financial year 2024 and describes the most significant events that took place during as well as after the reporting period of the financial statements. Moreover, the report outlines the key risks and uncertainties the Group may face in 2024 and records significant transactions between the Company and its related parties.
A. Financial Developments and Performance for the Year 2024
The Greek economy has maintained its satisfactory growth rate for 2024 and at higher levels than the corresponding average of other European countries. This was achieved during a period when the global economy demonstrated resilience despite facing significant challenges, particularly at the geopolitical level with ongoing tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East.
Specifically, Greece's GDP for 2024 increased by 2.3% compared to the corresponding period of 2023, driven mainly by the rise in investments, the increase in private consumption as a result of the rise in household income and the reduction in unemployment. The momentum in tourism continued, leading to an increase in exports in the services segment, however growing domestic demand led to higher imports, with the balance remaining negative. Lastly, the restriction of public spending had a negative impact.
The harmonized inflation rate for 2024 stood at 3.0% compared to 4.2% for 2023, reduced by 1.2%, following the normalization of economic conditions which resulted in lower energy prices, the de-escalation of industrial goods and food prices, while the inflation of services remained at higher levels.
In the fiscal sector, the overperformance against targets continued as a result of the reduction in tax evasion, increased economic activity and profitability and expenditure control. According to the data from Eurostat, the primary surplus is expected to be 4.8% of GDP in 2024 (compared to 2.1% for 2023), while public debt as a percentage of GDP is also expected to decline significantly (153.8% in 2024).
Indicative of the improvement in macroeconomic conditions for the country is the fact that following the country's upgrade to investment grade in the second half of 2023 (by R&I, Scope, DBRS, S&P, and Fitch), in 2024 Scope Ratings further upgraded the Greek economy to "BBB". In the early 2025 Moody's also granted investment grade to Greece, with all rating agencies now placing the country in the investment grade while S&P upgraded the Greek economy by one additional level to "BBB”. In this context, the spread of the Greek 10-year bond against the German bond decreased to 83 basis points in December 2024 (the lowest in the last 15 years) with the yield settling at 2.97%.

Finally, it is worth mentioning the absorption of Recovery and Resilience Fund resources (which provide a significant boost to growth), with Greece continuing to maintain a leading position at the European level, having received approximately 60% (or 21.3 bn euros) of the total funds available.
For the coming years, the Greek economy is expected to remain on a positive path and continue to move at higher pace than the Eurozone. For 2025-26, GDP is expected to increase by 2.0%-2.5% according to the converging forecasts of the Bank of Greece, the European Commission and the Greek Government, compared to a rate of 1.3%-1.6% for the Eurozone. This is expected to be helped by the strong labor market, which will support consumption along with continued support from tourism, industry and construction.
A positive impact is also expected from the increasing liquidity from both the private and public sectors, which will be significantly supported by the absorption of European funds. It is worth noting that total investment expenditure from the public sector is expected to reach 6.0% of GDP for 2025-26.
In any case, external factors such as the controversial decisions announced on trade protectionism by the USA, as well as the manner in which serious geopolitical issues are being addressed by the USA, pose immediate and visible risks to European economies and the Greek economy, affecting the trajectory of growth and inflation.
Additionally, risks related to the Greek economy, such as delays in the absorption of Recovery and Resilience Fund resources due to non-fulfillment of required reforms, natural disasters and labor market tightness, may have an impact on the maintenance of a strong growth rate.
In this changing environment and geopolitical environment, GEK TERNA Group, which is one of the largest corporate groups in Greece, implements and seamlessly expands its investment plan, seeking continuous and sustainable growth, maintaining and further strengthening its strong position in its fields of activity as well as its continuous expansion in new ones. The Group is steadily strengthening its leading presence in the infrastructure, concessions and energy sectors in Greece and selectively abroad, benefiting from its strong capital structure, high level of human resources and great expertise.
A significant boost to the implementation of the Group's investment program, aiming to transform into a leading diversified Infrastructure Group in Southeastern Europe, is the agreement dated 20.06.2024 for the sale of all shares held by GEK TERNA in TERNA ENERGY I.C.S.A. (representing 36.59% of the shares and voting rights), to MASDAR HELLAS SINGLE MEMBER S.A., which is a 100% indirect subsidiary of ABU DHABI FUTURE ENERGY COMPANY PJSC – MASDAR, for an amount of 864.2 mn euros.
The above amounts are expected to significantly enhance the Group's investment strength, where, combined with its strategic positioning in the market, is expected to create even greater value for shareholders.
The main financial results of the year 2024 compared to the corresponding period of 2023, are as follows:
Turnover from third parties from continuing operations amounted to 3,249.9 mn euros, compared 3,252.3 mn euros for the corresponding period of 2023, without significant change, i.e., 2.4 mn euros, as the positive and negative changes in Turnover per activity were balanced in absolute terms.

Key Financial Performance of the Operating Segments for the financial Year 2024
The financial analysis of the operating segments mentioned below records the performance of these segments, before performing the intersegmental elimination, which are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of IFRS for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements of GEK TERNA.
Construction Operating Segment
TERNA S.A., the construction arm and 100% subsidiary of GEK TERNA, is the largest construction company, specializing in complex and demanding infrastructure projects, which international groups choose to collaborate with due to its experience both within and outside Greece. TERNA S.A. also generates significant synergies with the other segments of the Group, particularly in concessions and energy.
Revenues from construction activities continue to be at very high levels, while the backlog of construction work continues to show an upward trend, amounting to approximately 4.1 bn euros as of 31.12.2024. Furthermore, the Group expects to sign new project contracts for which it has been selected as the Contractor, amounting to approximately 2.8 bn euros, which is a mix of private, co-financed, and public projects.
Turnover of the Construction Segment amounted to 1,321.5 mn euros compared to 1,365.3 mn euros in the corresponding period of 2023, posting a decrease of 3.2%. The decrease in Turnover is temporary, due to delays in approvals from various Greek public authorities.
Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA plus non-cash results included therein) amounted to 129.6 mn euros compared to 132.8 mn euros in the corresponding period of 2023, reduced by 2.4%, recording an insignificant decrease.
Operating Results before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to 100.1 mn euros compared to 115.2 mn euros in the corresponding period of 2023, posting a decrease of 13.1%, which is mainly due to the Construction Segment that was fully transferred to the Group, in the context of the sale of TERNA ENERGY.
Earnings before taxes amounted to 90.9 mn euros in 2024 compared to 106.0 mn euros in the corresponding period of 2023. The difference of 14.2% is due to the aforementioned reasons.
Earnings after taxes amounted to 60.3 mn euros in 2024 compared to 75.2 mn euros in the corresponding period of 2023. The difference of 19.8% is due to the aforementioned reasons.
Turnover of the Construction Segment to third parties comes from activities: a) in Greece and Cyprus at a rate of 97% and b) in Balkan countries at a rate of 3%.

D. Risk Factors and Uncertainties
The Group's operations are subject to various risks and uncertainties, such as the return of macroeconomic uncertainty, market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk, wind and weather conditions, the uncertainty of the results from the impact of emergency events which may have a prolonged and unforeseen term.
1)Financial Risks
The Group's activities expose it to various financial risks, including market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, and price fluctuation risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
In order to address financial risks and to limit their negative impact on its financial results, the Group has a management plan that aims to limit the adverse impact on its financial results that may arise from the inability to project financial markets and the fluctuations in cost and sales variables that affect financial results.
The financial instruments used by the Group mainly comprise bank deposits, mainly long‐term and secondarily short‐term loans as well as derivatives, trade debtors and creditors, other accounts receivable and payable. The impact of the main risks and uncertainties on the Group's activities is analyzed below.

(Amounts in thousands Euro, unless otherwise stated)

Credit risk
Credit risk entails the possibility that a counterparty will cause financial loss to the Group and the Company due to the breach of the counterparty’s contractual obligations.
The Group continuously monitors its receivables, either separately or per group and encompasses all the arising information into the credit audit. When deemed necessary, external reports or analyses related to effective or potential clients are used.
The Group is not exposed to significant credit risk arising from trade receivables with regard to its business activities, except for the trading of electric energy. This is attributed, on the one hand, to the Group’s policy, which is focused on cooperation with reliable clients and, on the other hand, to the nature of the Group’s operations.
In particular, total receivables, whether related to the narrow or the broader public sector, or private sector clients with significant financial position in Greece and abroad, are under special monitoring and the Management constantly assesses the reliability of its customers, their financial sizes regardless of whether they are a broader public or private entity, for potential implications, in order to take the necessary measures to minimize any adverse effects for the Group.
The Group is exposed to credit risk from end consumers due to the sale of electricity and natural gas to them. The control carried out to ensure the collectability of receivables is systematic. Wherever required, apart from the above, and in addition to safeguarding collectability, for low voltage consumers the Group makes sure to issue monthly bills concerning the probable consumption per month, so that with the issuance of the settlement invoice that is being made in the fourth month of consumption, there is no large outstanding balance to be settled. It should be noted that at the start of cooperation with customers, an amount equal to the indicative cost of consumption for one month is paid by the customers in the form of a guarantee. The risk of large sales contracts with a time horizon of more than one month is secured through forward contracts for the purchase and sale of electricity and natural gas, thus minimizing the risk of fluctuations in the purchase and sale of electricity.
The existing experience in handling the trading of electricity and natural gas ensures the Group's positive prospects for the operational segment of Electricity Production from Thermal Energy Sources.
The credit risk regarding cash and cash available and other receivables is considered limited given that the counterparties are reliable Banks with high quality capital structure, the Greek State and the broader public sector and strong groups of companies.
The Management assumes that all the financial assets, for which necessary impairment is calculated, are of high credit quality.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk entails the risk that the Group or the Company will be in no position to meet their financial obligations when required. The Group maintains its liquidity risk at a low level.
Specifically, the Group’s liquidity, in particular, is considered satisfactory, as in addition to the existing cash and cash equivalents, the cash flows generated from the execution of projects, from the Concession Companies of Motorways, waste management, as well as the production and sale of electricity, are continuous.

(Amounts in thousands Euro, unless otherwise stated)

The Group manages liquidity needs by closely monitoring the progress of long‐term financial obligations, as well as the payments made daily. Liquidity needs are monitored in different time zones, on a daily and weekly basis as well as in a rolling period of 30 days. Liquidity needs for the next 6 months and next year are determined on a monthly basis.
The Group maintains cash and cash available in banks to meet liquidity needs for periods of up to 30 days. The funds for the medium‐term liquidity needs are released from the Group's time deposits and if deemed necessary, bank credits are also being used.
Market risk analysis
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk arises when the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument are subject to fluctuations due to changes in exchange rates. This type of risk may arise, for the Group, from foreign exchange differences at the valuation and conversion into the Group’s currency (Euro) of financial assets, mainly financial receivables, and financial liabilities, related to transactions that are carried out in a currency other than the operating currency of the Group’s entities. The transactions mainly concern purchases of fixed assets and inventories, commercial sales, investments in financial assets, loans, as well as net investments in foreign operations.
The Group operates mainly in the Greek and Balkan regions in selective undertaking of construction projects, and therefore may be exposed to foreign exchange risk that may arise from Euro exchange rate with other currencies. To manage this risk category, the Group’s Financial Management Department uses the financial instruments and offset the Group's exposure to foreign exchange risk on the basis of specific policies, whenever it is necessary. The completion of the Transaction will reduce the Group's exposure to foreign exchange risk.
Regarding the Group's transactions with foreign companies, these are usually carried out with European Groups where the settlement currency is the euro. To reduce this risk, the Group utilizes the locally produced cash available in local currency to pay the expenses incurred, as well as the forward purchase of foreign exchange, thus minimizing the creation of foreign exchange risk.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk entails the probability that fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.
The Group's policy is to minimize its exposure to the interest rate risk of long‐term financing. Under this policy, medium‐term loans are mainly in Euro, with fixed spread and a floating base interest rate linked to Euribor. In order to reduce the interest rate risk associated with long‐term financing and to reduce the consequent volatility of financial expenses, the Group implements specific policies that include Interest Rates Swaps.
The largest component of the Group's short‐term debt is in Euro at a floating base interest rate linked to Euribor. Short‐term loans are mainly issued as a bridge financing in order to cover temporary needs during the implementation phase - construction of investments of the Group. The Group's policy is to convert these loans into long‐ term fixed spreads linked to Euribor and, where deemed necessary due

On 31.12.2024, 19% of the Group’s total debt bares fixed interest rate, 71.4% bares floating interest rate that have been offset through derivatives, with which future fixed interest rate payments are exchanged against floating rate based receivables, while 9.6% of the Group’s loans bare floating rate based on the Euribor.
These loans are repaid through the operating cash flows from the Group's operations.
Sensitivity analysis of interest rate risk
The following table presents the sensitivity of profit or loss for the period against the Groups short‐ term debt and deposits, towards a change in variable interest rates amounting to +20% –20% (2023: +/-20%). The changes in interest rates are estimated to be logical in relation to the current market conditions and until now they have been consistent with the previous year.

2)Risks arising from existing financial conditions prevailing in Greece and from the global economy
In 2024, the Greek economy continued its growth trajectory, having increased its GDP by 2.3%, driven mainly by the increase in investments, the rise in private consumption as a result of increased household income, as well as the reduction in unemployment. The momentum in tourism continued, leading to an increase in exports in the services segment; however, the rising domestic demand led to higher imports, with the balance remaining negative. It is noted that the Greek economy moved at a pace higher than the European Union.
To date, with the current estimates of the continuation of the energy crisis with reduced intensity in terms of duration, but with increased intensity of hostilities in Ukraine and the Middle East, as well as with the contradictory solutions proposed by the U.S., a likely resolution does not appear imminent.
At the same time, with the indicative decisions for tariff impositions by the U.S.A., for each individual country, have created negative conditions in the global economy and by extension in the Greek economy, should they ultimately be enforced.
The harmonized inflation rate for 2024 stood at 3.0%, with no further reduction in sight due to increased rental prices, food items and extraordinary events (e.g., severe weather, etc.) that create supply issues for goods and services.

(Amounts in thousands Euro, unless otherwise stated)
36
At the same time, at the Eurozone level, decisions on tariffs and the armament of each member state with weapon systems, following the decisions of the USA, will result in a reduction of the disposable incomes of its residents.
With regard to the Greek economy, apart from the above, there are additional causes of uncertainty that need to be resolved to positively contribute to achieving the objective of further growth of the Greek economy, which are mentioned below:
Strengthening competitiveness, so that the economy becomes export-oriented and addresses the current account deficit.
Accelerating the reduction of the public debt ratio.
Reducing high bank lending rates, which leads borrowers to face difficulties in repaying installments of their mortgage loans for the first residence and the agricultural land.
Stabilizing the prices of consumer goods, which reduces the real disposable income and household purchasing power and deprives the ability to create savings for future investment.
Increasing disposable income for citizens through real wage increases.
Utilizing Recovery Fund resources by executing projects and reforms undertaken by the Government.
Reforming the justice system to reduce the time for issuing decisions
Overcoming bureaucratic issues in Public Administration to become more functional and capable of making necessary plans, including for emergency situations (natural disasters, fires, climate changes).
Despite the new conditions that have arisen due to the geopolitical developments, the contradictory decisions of the United States on the major problems (Ukraine, Middle East, equipment) and inflationary pressures, and given that the Group does not have any meaningful activity in Russia, Ukraine and the Middle East, the outlook for the Group remains positive in the medium term and long term due to the following factors: a) The occupied investment - even without the full upgrade by a specific rating agency, regarding the creditworthiness of the Greek economy, which entails more inflows of investment capital with favorable lending terms required for investments, b) Investments with long-term yields in the form of Concessions and PPPs, c) Significant signed and pending construction contracts for execution, d) The increase in the share of electricity generated in the Greek economy using natural gas as fuel, as well as the market share in electricity trading and e) the increase in energy storage capacity.
3)Other Risks and Uncertainties
Backlog of the construction contracts
The backlog of the construction contracts does not necessarily constitute an indication of future revenues from the Group's operations in this segment. Although the backlog of these contracts represents projects that are considered certain, no guarantee can be given that cancellations or adjustments will not be performed.
GEK TERNA GROUP
Annual Financial Report of the fiscal year 1 January 2024 - 31 December 2024
(Amounts in thousands Euro, unless otherwise stated)
37
The backlog of the Group's construction contracts may fluctuate in connection with the delays in the project’s implementation and/or receivables or inability to fulfill contractual obligations.
Climate change risk
The increase in the average temperature of the planet has caused a series of extreme natural phenomena (disastrous floods, extreme natural phenomena, but also large-scale wildfires from prolonged drought, as well as damage to the primary food production sector).
The risks arising from the effects of climate change and the transition to a low-carbon economy are expected to affect most, if not all, business entities in matters related to their sustainability.
The Group owns and operates in Greece three major highways and has signed contracts for two other highways which it will operate in the future, where the effects of climate change in recent years consist of intense weather phenomena and long-term natural turnarounds.
Taking into account the extreme natural phenomena that have occurred in recent years, the Group takes all necessary measures to eliminate or minimize the problems that may arise, in addition to insurance coverage for the risks that are insurable.
Cyber Security risk
Potential violations in the security of networks, information and operating systems threaten the integrity of the Group's data, sensitive information, as well as the smooth operation of its business activities. Such a breach could adversely affect the Group's reputation and competitive position. Also, a possible occurrence of damages, release of fines or loss of business (including restoration costs) could have a significant negative impact on our financial position and operating results. In addition, managing cybersecurity breaches may require a significant investment of time by the management.
In order to avoid the Cyber Security risks, GEK TERNA Group has established and implements Cyber Security Policies and Procedures, with which all the executives and the external collaborators of the Group must comply. In cases where it is deemed necessary, the IT Department provides additional instructions and guidance.
The Group is in continuous cooperation with companies providing specialized Cybersecurity services, as well as with experienced consultants in the field, in order to provide full technical and organizational coverage in the field of Cybersecurity.
E. Outlook and Prospects
GEK TERNA the parent company of the Group (www.gekterna.com) is listed on Athens Stock Exchange (FTSE / Athex Large Cap / Athex ESG) and comprises one of the largest business groups in Greece, with selective presence in Central and Southeastern Europe as well as in Middle East.
GEK TERNA Group with a Turnover of 3,249.9 mn euros is active in the following segments:
a) infrastructure, b) the production of electricity with natural gas fuel and the trade of electricity and natural gas, c) the construction and operation of the Concessions, as well as the construction and joint operation co-financed projects (PPPs) and waste management projects, d) real estate management and sale of properties and e) mining activities.

(Amounts in thousands Euro, unless otherwise stated)

GEK TERNA Group in the field of construction activities has a backlog of works to third parties, which on 31.12.2024 amounted to 4.1 bn euros proximately. Furthermore, the Group expects to sign contracts for new projects for which it has been prequalified, amounting to 2.8 bn euros, of which 1 bn euros concern the execution of public projects, 1 bn euros concern the execution of private projects and 0,8 bn euros concern projects related to Group investments (such as Egnatia, IRC Hellinikon, etc.). Through its subsidiary TERNA, the Group also carries out targeted acquisitions of companies as part of its strategy to strengthen and further specialize its construction activities.
In the field of energy production using natural gas as fuel, the Group owns and operates one (1) unit with a total installed capacity of 435 MW, while it participates in the construction and is expected to operate one (1) unit of 877 MW at the end of the first half of 2025, with a 50% stake. In the electricity supply sector, the Group holds a market share of 11.4% in the Greek market, while at the same time, it engages in electricity trading both domestically and internationally.
In the field of Concessions, the Group continues to implement its strategic plan through new significant investments in 2024. Specifically, the acquisition of the right to operate the Motorway Concession of NEA ATTIKI ODOS CONCESSION SOCIETE ANONYME, the additional 3.48% stake acquired in the Motorway Concession OLYMPIA ODOS CONCESSION SOCIETE ANONYME and the acquisition of an additional 55% stake in the company SARISA SUB-CONCESSION S.A. confirm the Group Management's commitment to the importance of the Concessions sector within its development strategy.
Furthermore, these transactions reinforce the Group’s growth plan through the acquisition of companies such as AEIFORIKI EPIRUS M.A.E.E.S., which operates the Waste Treatment Plant of Epirus, PERIVALLONTIKI PELOPONNISOU S.M.S.A. which is implementing the PPP project "INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT OF PELOPONNESE REGION", 35% in the Societe Anonyme company HELLAS SMARTICKET S.A. for the provision of electronic ticketing services, 70% in the joint venture TERNA ENERGY INDIGITAL AMCO for the project " DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION, TELEMATICS AND THE UNIFIED AUTOMATED COLLECTION SYSTEM FOR THESSALONIKI (ACST)", in the context of the TERNA ENERGY sale transaction concerning the transfer of Non-Core Assets.
Finally, the Group is active in the management and sale of real estate, owning commercial properties with a total estimated value of approximately 130 mn euros, as well as in the field of industry/quarry through the extraction and processing of magnesite, as well as the production of aggregates.
For its existing activities in 2024, the Group employed more than 5,419 employees on international level.
The total investments in the current period amounted to 3.4 bn euros, with the main recipient being the concessions sector. In recent years, investments have exceeded 6.2 bn euros, actively supporting the Greek economy, but also the country's banking system, constantly maintaining all the Group's assets from operations in Greece in Greek banks.
Despite the prevailing uncertainties in the global economy due to geopolitical developments and the contradictory decisions by the U.S. regarding the imposition of tariffs, the outlook for the Greek economy remains positive in the medium term, in view of a number of conditions that could facilitate the change in the pattern of economic growth, which is expected in turn to derive from investment spending to an even greater extent.

(Amounts in thousands Euro, unless otherwise stated)
39
In this changing economic and geopolitical environment, GEK TERNA Group, which is one of the most important Greek corporate groups and holds a leading position in the fields of infrastructure, clean energy, electricity production and concessions, implements and expands its investment plan (mainly in the segments of Concessions Self/Co-financed projects and Infrastructure), as its capital structure remains strong while the Group continues to have a selective presence in countries outside Greece. Furthermore, the Group has practically demonstrated during the last years its ability to expand and further solidify its market position.
It is worth noting, however, that the boost of investment activity in the segments in which GEK TERNA Group operates (such as in RES, Concessions, Constructions and Infrastructure) constitute a priority for both the Greek State and the European Union. Infrastructure projects, through their higher multiplier effect, contribute significantly to the increase in GDP and to the strengthening of employment.
In 2025, GEK TERNA Group will continue to implement its strategy for continuous development in the Greek and international markets in the fields of infrastructure, production, supply and trading of electricity and natural gas, in the concessions segment and in the construction segment. The objective is to maintain its leading position in the Greek market and to pursue its sustainable development in the international markets, in order to achieve a satisfactory diversification of corporate risk and to maintain return on equity at satisfactory levels.
The Group's investment plan continues intensively in all areas of its activity (infrastructure, concessions - PPPs, energy production and storage, circular economy - environmental projects), with the total investments planned or in which the Group participates, in the medium term, expected to exceed the value of 10 bn euros.
With the investments that are in progress and those that will follow, GEK TERNA Group creates thousands of well-paid jobs, giving the opportunity to the Greek scientific workforce, to our young men and women to live with dignity and optimism for the future in their homeland, but also to those who left we provide the incentive to gradually return back to the country.
The prospects for achieving the targets of 2025 and beyond are positive, given that:
In the Construction Operating Segment:
TERNA S.A., the construction arm and 100% subsidiary of GEK TERNA, is the largest construction company in Greece in executing a wide range of large and complex public and private projects, of high budgets and complex know‐how, such as construction of motorways and rail networks, buildings, hospitals, museums, industrial facilities, hydroelectric projects, dams, power plants, etc.
The prospects for the coming years are in favor of improving the financial performance of this operating segment, while the backlog of construction work is maintained at high levels, amounting to 4.1 bn euros on 31.12.2024 with third-party contracts. The above backlog does not include approximately 2.8 bn euros in new construction contracts for projects where the Group has already been declared the contractor or preferred investor and is awaiting their signing.
In addition, the prospects of the construction sector in Greece are particularly positive, as in the coming years the budget of the new projects expected to be auctioned will exceed the level of 8-10 bn euros, of which a significant part is estimated to be executed by the Group.
GEK TERNA GROUP
Annual Financial Report of the fiscal year 1 January 2024 - 31 December 2024
(Amounts in thousands Euro, unless otherwise stated)
40
It should be noted that the execution of the above projects will deliver significant positive multiplier results to the Greek Economy.
The Group, with the consistency and the high sense of corporate social responsibility that distinguishes its actions for years now, will remain a leader in the construction sector and will seek to increase the financial size of the particular market segment, while generating satisfactory earnings to the benefit of its shareholders.
Operational Segment of Production & Trading of Electricity from Thermal Energy Sources
The GEK TERNA Group is active in the Production, Supply and Trading of Electricity and Natural Gas, mainly through its subsidiary HERON ENERGY S.A., where it is the sole 100% shareholder. Its vertical presence is a key factor in mitigating market-related risks, while at the same time enabling it to take advantage of opportunities that arise at various levels. At the same time, it seeks new opportunities to increase or diversify its production capacity in Greece or abroad.
In the Electricity Production Sector, the Group participates in the market through its combined cycle gas turbine power plant with an installed capacity of 435 MW.
Furthermore, the GEK TERNA Group and the MOTOR OIL Group continue the joint development, construction, and operation of the new state-of-the-art Combined Cycle Gas Turbine Station with a fuel capacity of 877 MW in the Komotini Industrial Area, through the company THERMOELECTRIC KOMOTINIS S.A., with each holding a 50% stake.
At the same time, GEK TERNA Group and MOTOR OIL Group, through their participation in the company KOMOTINI THERMOELECTRIC S.A. (with a percentage of 50% each), continue the joint development, construction, and operation of the new state-of-the-art Combined Cycle Gas Turbine Station with natural gas as fuel aiming at an installed gross capacity of 877 MW in the Industrial Area of Komotini, Greece.
The technology of the main equipment that has been selected for the Station is the most modern one and will lead to very high degrees of overall net efficiency. The amount of the investment is estimated at approximately 375 mn euros and has created around 500 jobs during the construction period and about 80 jobs during the operating period. Construction of the new unit has been completed, with the trial operation period soon to be concluded. The station is expected to commence commercial operation by the end of the first half of 2025.
The Group, through its subsidiary HERON ENERGY S.A., utilizing its know-how in energy production from the operation of factories via the use of natural gas, continues to operate the production units, based on the principle of cost benefit from this activity.
In the area of Electricity Distribution to final consumers, the stabilization of electricity and natural gas prices in 2024 has helped HERON ENERGY S.A. to consolidate its already strong position among independent suppliers. Amidst strong competition, HERON ENERGY S.A. managed to fully cope with the difficult market conditions, even increasing its market share to 11.4% compared to 2023, resulting in it continuing to be among the top two independent suppliers in the domestic market.
It should be noted that the risk of large sales contracts with a time horizon of more than one month is ensured through future contracts for the purchase and sale of electricity and natural gas, in order to minimize the risk of changes in the cost of buying and selling energy. The existing experience in
GEK TERNA GROUP

(Amounts in thousands Euro, unless otherwise stated)
41
handling electricity and gas trading ensures the Group's positive outlook for the operating segment of Electricity Production from Thermal Energy Sources.

The total portfolio of motorway projects of GEK TERNA Group after the start of the operation of EGNATIA ODOS, including the concessions of the NRAC and ATTIKI ODOS, now exceeds 1,800 km. This is the largest motorway portfolio in the country and one of the largest in Europe, further enhancing the Group's ability to generate significant, stable and recurring returns over time.
Finally, the Group's business activity in the Car Parking Station Management and Operation Segment will continue in the following years, and the number of car parking spaces attributed to the Group as a whole amounts to 2,171.
Apart from the above, at the same time the Management continues to pursue new investments for the expansion of the Group's business activity in Greece and abroad, by constantly monitoring the developments in the Greek economy, collaborating with financial agents and expert analysts of the international markets.
The Group confirms its strategic decision to invest dynamically in the Concessions segment and in the fields of PPPs, while creating satisfactory earnings and returns for its shareholders.
Taking into consideration the above, the prospects of the concessions segment of GEK TERNA Group for the year 2025 and for the following years are positive, despite the difficult period that the global economy is going through.

(via mining licenses and concessions it holds), is active in the extraction and processing of magnesite, as well as its industrial processing for the production of caustic and refractory magnesia products of various qualities and chemical characteristics. Following the actions undertaken during the last two months of 2024, the Group is in continuous evaluation of how and to what extent it can best leverage the investments it has made to date in this particular operational sector.
F. Alternative Performance Measurement Indicators (“APMI”)
(In the context of applying the Guidelines “Alternative Performance Measures” of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA/2015/1415el) which are applied from 3rd of July 2016 in the Alternative Performance Measures Indicators [APMI])
The Group utilizes Alternative Performance Measurement Indicators ("APMI") in its financial, operational, and strategic planning decisions, as well as in evaluating and publishing its performance. These APMI serves to better understand the Group’s financial and operating results as well as its financial position. Alternative indicators should always be considered in conjunction with the financial results prepared in accordance with IFRSs and in no case should they replace them.
The following indicators are used when describing the Group's performance by segment:
A. ‘’Net Debt/(Surplus)’’
It is a ratio, through which the Group’s Management assesses the cash position of an operating segment at any given time. The ratio is defined as total loan liabilities and bank leases less cash and

H. Sustainability Statement
1.General Disclosures
1.1Basis for preparation
1.1.1General basis for preparation of sustainability statements [ΒP-1]
The Sustainability Statement for the fiscal year 2024 has been prepared on a consolidated basis for GEK TERNA Group, with the scope of consolidation aligning with the scope of the financial statements. The subsidiaries included in the consolidation are exempt from the individual sustainability statement according to Articles 19a(9) and 29a(8) of Directive 2013/34/EU, as no subsidiary is exempt from consolidated sustainability reporting1.
To ensure alignment with the requirements of the ESRS standards, the sustainability statement includes information from the value chain (upstream and downstream) and all activities of the Group's operating sectors, as mentioned in the relevant chapter of the financial statements. Additionally, policies, actions, and goals extend to both upstream and downstream value chain. Finally, when disclosing quantitative data, the Group considers information from the upstream and downstream value chain, provided it is feasible based on the availability of data directly from the value chain participants. If direct data is not available, the information is based on estimates or approximations.
In preparing this statement, the option to omit any relevant information pertaining to intellectual property, know-how, or innovation results in accordance with ESRS 1, section 7.7 has been utilized. GEK TERNA Group, based in Greece, an EU member state, utilizes the option to exempt from disclosing future developments or matters under negotiation, as specified in Articles 19 and 29 of Directive 2013/34/EU.
The Sustainability Statement provides a detailed description of the Group's approach to issues considered significant, based on the results of the Double Materiality Assessment, which is aligned with ESRS standards.
1.1.2Disclosures in relation to specific circumstances [BP-2]
Time horizons
GEK TERNA Group utilizes the following time periods, as defined in section 6.4 Definition of short-term, medium-term, and long-term periods for reporting purposes, specifically:

Value chain estimation, sources of estimation and outcome uncertainty
The table below presents the indicators that were calculated based on data from the upstream and/or downstream value chain, estimated using indirect sources. The indicators, the basis for their preparation, the level of accuracy, and the planned actions to improve accuracy in the future are described below:

Topic

Indicator

Basis for preparation

Resulting level of accuracy

Planned actions to improve the accuracy in the future

 

ESRS E1 – Climate Change

Gross Scope 3 Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Spend-based method

In calculating Scope 3 emissions, certain factors may lead to uncertainty in the results. The absence of primary data in various Scope 3 categories, due to its unavailability, means that calculations often depend heavily on secondary data and emission factors from general sources. This reliance can lead to discrepancies between actual emissions and the estimated figures recorded.

Supplier awareness and education for using supplier-specific activity data

For cases where measurements include data from the upstream and/or downstream value chain estimated using indirect sources, this is noted in the relevant section. The description covers the defined measurements, the basis for preparation, and the outcomes concerning accuracy levels.
Regarding the sources used for these estimates and the associated uncertainty, the Group specifies the assumptions made and provides information about the sources of uncertainty for the relevant quantitative measurements and/or monetary amounts.
Changes in the preparation or presentation of sustainability information
The current Sustainability Statement marks the first publication of sustainability information by GEK TERNA Group, in alignment with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), as mandated by the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and Law 5164/2024. As this marks the Group's initial disclosure under the CSRD legislation, and in line with the transitional provisions for the first year of reporting, comparative data or changes from previous years are not included.
Disclosures resulting from other legislation or generally accepted sustainability reporting statements
The statement includes information from additional reporting standards, specifically the GRI Standards. Appropriate referencing of the relevant reports has been incorporated into the respective paragraphs.
Integration of information through referencing
To meet the requirements, information has been integrated by reference, which is summarized in the following list of ESRS requirements.

Experience, knowledge, and skills
The Board of Directors and the ESG Committee consist of members who have the essential skills and specialized knowledge needed to manage sustainability issues effectively. This ensures they can supervise and guide the Group's sustainability strategy proficiently. Members are assessed and selected based on their expertise in areas like environmental management, social responsibility, and corporate governance, as well as their capacity to incorporate ESG principles into business decision-making.
The Suitability Policy ensures that the Board of Directors has the necessary collective expertise to meet both medium-term and long-term sustainability objectives while also advancing the Group's strategic growth. Each Board member must adhere to defined individual and collective suitability standards. Moreover, the training policy for Board members and executives guarantees ongoing education for senior management and the ESG Committee on issues related to environmental, social, and governance matters.
Roles and responsibilities of relevant bodies/representatives regarding sustainability issues
To ensure an organized and standardized oversight process, a comprehensive governance framework has been developed. This framework includes clearly defined procedures, policies, and monitoring tools, as well as regular reports to the Board of Directors. The responsibilities and duties of each body or individual regarding sustainability related impacts, risks, and opportunities are documented in relevant policies. These include the Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) Policy, the Code of Ethics and Conduct, and the Internal Rules of Operations.
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors (BoD) plays a crucial role in overseeing the ESG strategy, setting goals related to significant impacts, risks, and opportunities through the analysis of the internal and external environment. The BoD ensures the allocation of necessary resources, including human, financial, and technological resources, and approves appropriate actions to achieve the Group’s goals. The Group's progress towards its goals is monitored through regular reports and audits, allowing the BoD to make revisions when deemed necessary. This ensures alignment with strategic priorities and adjustments to the changing conditions of the business environment.
ESG Committee
The ESG Committee is responsible for monitoring the Group's performance in Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance issues and submitting proposals for improvement actions, aiming to create long-term value. The Committee's role includes overseeing processes related to identifying impacts, risks, and opportunities associated with sustainability (Double Materiality Analysis) and integrating non-financial factors into the Group's strategy and business decisions by informing the Board and supporting its decision-making process. This approach ensures the Group's resilience and its ability to adapt to changes in the business environment.
Additionally, the Committee closely monitors
