ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
FOR THE PERIOD FROM 01.01.2021 TO 31.12.2021
[in accordance with article 4 of Law 3556/2007, Decision #8/754/14.04.2016 of the Board of Directors of Greece’s Capital Markets
Commission, article 2 of Law 3873/2010, article 1 of Law 4403/2016, article 2 of Law 4336/2015 and articles 150-154 of Law
4548/2018]
Dear Shareholders,
this annual report of the Board of Directors for 2021 has been prepared according to corporate and capital markets legislation and
the decisions of the Capital Markets Commission to depict the true development and performance of Group AVAX in 2021, as well as
the main risks and uncertainties to be dealt with.
The annual report of the Board of Directors presents a balanced and complete analysis of Group activities, accompanying the
financial statements included in the Annual Financial Report 2021. To this extent, it presents financial and non-financial basic
information regarding the performance of the Group and the Company in 2021, information on events affecting the business group
and the risks recognized, an overview of the projected course of the Group’s various business areas, and information on transactions
with related parties. It also includes a Corporate Governance Report and an Explanatory Report of the Board of Directors on
Company share capital, in line with current legislation.
therefore this Annual Report of the Board of Directors is issued as a single document with the consolidated information on Group
AVAX being its main reference point. Reference to parent company information is made only when deemed necessary for better
comprehension of the Report.
Α. Important Events during 2021
The following are the most important events during for all Group companies:
Discontinuation of Energy sector operations
In late 2021, the Group revised its strategic plan, taking a decision to divest from certain participations such as its 100% subsidiary
Volterra, which is active in the wholesale and retail energy market and Renewable Energy Sources (RES). The price hike in natural gas
during 2021 resulted in a significant increase in the clearing price of the domestic energy market. Adherence to the supply code
resulted in delayed harmonisation of customers' charges, causing significant losses to the Group. The large increase in Volterra
turnover and the rise in market prices resulted in a jump in the required working capital to a level that Volterra was unable to
manage and needed significant support from the parent company.
In view of the above, the Company decided to divest from the energy market and Volterra's activities, including its profitable
subsidiaries in the field of RES, to enhance its liquidity. To this end, it hired a financial advisor to explore interest from buyers either
9
for the Volterra Group as a whole, or separately for RES projects and activities in the retail & wholesale market of electricity &
natural gas. In any case, management intends and aims to protect the interests of Company shareholders.
Therefore, the Volterra Group (including its energy trading and RES activities) was classified as "Discontinued Activity" in the
Consolidated Financial Statements of 31.12.2021, as per the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS 5). According to IFRS 5,
the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operation are recorded at book value, being the lowest between fair value and book
value. The financial result from the discontinued operation is also presented separately in the consolidated income statement of the
Group for 2021 and the comparable year 2020. International Accounting Standards (IFRS 5) generally provide a 12-month period to
complete the sale of discontinued operations.
[see the relevant Note of the Financial Statements for more details]
Changes in Executive boards and committees
The Annual General Meeting of the Company's shareholders held on 24.06.2021 elected a new Board of Directors, a new Audit
Committee, and established a joint Nominations & Remuneration Committee, in accordance with the provisions of L.4706 / 2020. All
three executive bodies were elected for a three-year term until 23.06.2024.
[see section "K. Corporate Governance Report” for more details]
New Projects
During 2021, the Group signed initial and additional contracts for public & private works, subcontracting and services worth a total of
€1,025 million. The largest in terms of value concerned civil and MEP works towards the new Line 4 of the Athens Metro, while
several other contracts involved the construction of gas networks in various cities of the country, and other private and public
projects.
Athens Marina lease change
Through litigation, the Company achieved the reduction of the annual lease of the Marina of Athens, in which it has a 99.84% stake,
from €3 million to €2 million, lowering the long-term leasing liabilities by €13 million due to the reduction of the present value of
lease payments, in accordance with IFRS 16.
ESG / Sustainable Growth Committee
The Company set up an ESG / Sustainable Growth Committee, to take a systematic and in-depth approach on the issue of sustainable
growth, and improve the socio-economic footprint caused to the economy and society by direct, indirect and induced actions and
construction projects. The executives that make up the committee come from the departments of QSHE & Sustainability, Procurement,
Human Resources, Investor Relations, Internal Audit, Data Protection, Corporate Communication, as well as the Banking Relations and
Risk Management units of the Finance Department.
Litigation Developments
10
a. In the pending court case against construction company "Technical Union", and regarding the arbitration decision #21/2005 which
ordered Technical Union to pay to the Company €16.3 million plus interest, for a deficit in its shareholder funds which was absorbed
by the Company, there are pending acts of the executive process with auctions or confiscation of assets owned by the family of the
former shareholders of Technical Union for collection of the claim. Following the death of the owner of Technical Union, the progress
of the execution is frozen until the identity of his heirs is revealed.
b. The Company wrote off an amount of €22.3 million from the receivables from contractual assets (construction contracts), which
had not been invoiced, following legal developments in the process of a previous consortium appeal against the Greek State for the
project "Extension of the PATHE axis in the Skarfia section -Lamia-Raches”. This impacted turnover by €22.3 million and the net
result by €19.1 million. This amount is not taken into account in the calculation of EBITDA, because it is not a write-off of invoiced
receivables.
c. The Company's lawsuit against PPC for a project in Atherinolakkos, Crete was accepted for an amount of €4,757,158 plus interest,
which are calculated from December 2009 and already amount to €5,400,000. PPC filed an appeal that will be tried in November
2022.
Effect of covid-19 pandemic
The Greek economy returned to a growth trajectory in 2021 after the crisis of the Covid-19 pandemic. According to EUROSTAT
estimates, Greece's economic activity for 2021 recorded an increase of 8.3% in GDP compared to 2020, while the production index in
construction showed an improvement of 6% compared to the previous year, according to Greek Statistics Authority. The easing in
restrictive measures due to the extensive vaccination has positively affected the Greek Economy and consequently the activities of
the Group.
In Concessions, the gradual abolition of travel restrictions increased traffic by 15% in 2021 compared to the previous year. The
largest increases were observed in Egnatia Highway and the Athens Ring Road, by 22% and 17% respectively. Consequently, there
was a corresponding increase in revenue. Also, the fair value reserve of participations increased by €27.5 million for the company
and €29.6 million for the Group. However, they have not yet returned to pre-covid levels in 2019. Due to the normalisation of
activities along with the cash and reserve accounts maintained by the projects, the loan obligations are expected to be serviced
within the stipulated time frame. Due to the covid-19 pandemic, the dividends received by the Group from their participations in
road concessions in 2021 (which related to profits of 2020), are reduced by approximately €20 million compared to 2020 (which
related to profits of 2019).
In the Construction sector, delays in the ongoing projects continue to be observed, while at the same time the procedures in the
assignment of new projects continue to be delayed. At the same time, there are increases in the cost of materials and transportation
costs, which in local public works are adequately addressed with conventional price revisions. In international projects, where no
price revisions are provided, any increases are included in production costs. Nevertheless, relevant claims have been filed with the
clients for delays in the projects and cost burden due to the pandemic which are the subject of negotiation between the Company
and the clients. Ongoing international projects are expected to be completed in 2022.
11
[For the effects of price increases on materials and fuels, see note "Impact of price increases on materials, transport costs and fuel"]
In the context of the support of the Companies by the Greek Government, liabilities in the real estate leases of the Group were
reduced by € 1,276,380 in 2021.
The spread of the Covid-19 pandemic significantly affected operations during the entire 2021. Within 2021, the protection measures
for the staff and associates were intensified, both at the construction sites and at the offices of the Group companies. The AVAX
Group, with a sense of responsibility, monitors the developments in order to respond appropriately at all levels in order to ensure
the health of its employees and its, as smooth as possible business operation and mainly in terms of cash flows and contractual
obligations from the execution of projects.
Impact of price increases of materials, transport costs and fuel
To date, and as the market continues to experience difficulties with rising raw material prices due to the effects of covid-19 and most
recently due to the war in Ukraine, the effects on the results of the Company are significant. The materials, the price increases of
which affect the Company, its branches abroad and the consortia through which the projects are carried out, concern iron, copper,
aluminium, electromechanical equipment, tarmac, etc. The supply prices started to increase in last months of 2020 until today,
without any indication that this phenomenon will be reversed in the coming months. Price increases range between 25% and 70%.
Company projects outside the home market are not covered by price revisions, and it is estimated that the impact on the Company's
gross result amounts to at least €26 million. This amount concerns the roadwork in Croatia, the Casino Resort and Trilogy building
projects in Cyprus, the energy project in Iraq and the IGB gas pipeline in Bulgaria. In the domestic market, the impact mainly
concerns the project at the power plant in Agios Dimitrios of PPC and amounts to at least €4 million.
With the existing projects scheduled to be completed by the 3rd quarter of 2022, approximately 70% of the revaluations have been
absorbed with a reference date of 31.12.2021. Nevertheless, claims have been filed and claims are being negotiated with customers
as the conditions do not relate to normal price increases, but to force majeure. The amount of compensation that may result from
the negotiations is expected to affect the results of 2022.
For public works, the contracts provide conditions for price adjustment. However, as the revisions cover expenses that include
labour, leases, fuel and materials based on average revaluations, the adjustments are smaller than the actual increases, as they only
concern materials and fuel so far. Negotiations are carried out with the relevant ministries so that these materials with great price
appreciation are paid retrospectively. For new projects that are not public, negotiations are underway so that the contracts include
price revision terms.
Loan from Athens Ring Road
The Company participated in the process of obtaining a loan totalling €82.8 million from the Athens Ring Road, in proportion to its
participation in the concessionaire, as provided by the relevant concession agreement.
Property Development by subsidiary AVAX Development
12
Subsidiary AVAX Development agreed with Dimand SA the acquisition of 15% and 55% participation respectively in 3V SA, which
owns a plot of 18,730sqm in Neo Faliro with a building permit for the construction of a 57,450sqm building complex. Following the
redesign, a complex of mixed residential and commercial use will be developed on the property.
Β. Main Risks and Uncertainties for 2022
1. Economic & Political Developments
The outbreak of the covid-19 pandemic in early 2020 and the subsequent measures to prevent its spread reversed the course of the
country's dynamic recovery that began in 2019, after a decade of economic weakness. In 2021, the global and the Greek economies
returned to a growth trajectory as the global economy and business adapted to the new data and showed significant economic growth.
The energy crisis that unfolded in the second half of 2021, and especially the Russian invasion of Ukraine at the end of February this
year, overturned the optimism for further strong growth in 2022. The deterioration of the energy crisis due to the war in Ukraine, the
severe sanctions imposed by the Western world against Russia and Russian-owned businesses, the disruption of agricultural
production in critical foodstuffs in the Eastern European region, and the global geopolitical instability involving powerful military forces
with nuclear capabilities, have created sharp inflationary conditions and uncertainty about the course of macroeconomic data. The
turmoil in Ukraine has substantially undermined the expected recovery of the world economy, at least for the current year, and is
overturning geopolitical and energy conditions, at least in the short and medium term.
2. Risks and Uncertainties
Group activities are subject to various risks and uncertainties pertaining to the nature of its business activities, prevailing geopolitical,
credit and currency conditions, relations with clients, suppliers and subcontractors. To a large extent, the risk arising from these
relations and transactions is predictable or may be dealt with the selection of the appropriate management policy due to the
accumulated expertise of the Group’s senior staff and official procedures. It is always desirable to limit the overall level of risk to
tolerable and manageable levels for Group operations. Nevertheless, no system and risk management policy can offer absolute
security against all risks, as the ever-changing international political and economic environment may overturn any situation which was
taken for granted and considered manageable in advance.
The main risks and uncertainties, their management policies and their impact on Group activities, are as follows:
a. Climate Issues
The social and political response to the anthropogenic climate change will inevitably have an impact on the Group's business activities,
in the context of its participation in the Greek and international economy. The guidelines for the disclosure of financial climate
information published by the European Union identify two main sources of risk associated with climate change:
i. Risks associated with the transition to a lower carbon footprint economy, as may arise from the adoption of strategies and
decision-making to prevent and mitigate the effects of climate change. Examples include the introduction of regulatory incentives
and sanctions, coal pricing systems, energy efficiency solutions, and low carbon products and services, and policies in general that
may indirectly affect certain functions and the value of some of the Group's assets.
13
ii. Risks related to the natural effects of climate change, which include the risks posed by changes in average temperatures and the
increasing incidence of extreme weather events and natural disasters. These weather phenomena and deviations from the climatic
constants can affect the smooth operation of the Group, hindering the smooth progress of its operations on outdoor construction
sites, as well as the supply and transportation of the necessary materials.
Group management is faced with the challenge to monitor, evaluate and respond to the above risks, to mitigate any adverse effects on
the financial data and the operations of the Group, while at the same time it must take appropriate measures to participate in the
wider effort to reduce the environmental impact of Group activities.
b. War conflict in Ukraine
The Group does not have any exposure to the markets of Ukraine and Russia as the Eastern European region is not a strategic choice
for construction or other business activities. The overall footprint of international sanctions against Russia cannot be determined and
quantified yet, but any impact on the Group will only have an indirect effect through international developments in raw material
prices, energy costs and international freight cost.
c. International rise in prices of construction materials, transport and fuel
The gradual return of world markets to normalcy in 2021, after the drastic changes caused by the covid-19 epidemic in 2020, had some
side effects as some industries are now moving with a different business approach and pace from the rest of the economy. One such
consequence was the gradual rise in prices for certain building materials, their transportation costs and fuel, leading to an increase in
project execution costs. Construction cost pressures are not uniform and horizontal, as prices on all materials and all geographic
markets have not been affected in the same way. Projects that are in an advanced stage of completion are not expected to be
significantly affected.
In Greece, the government has already started the procedures for the normalization of the inflationary pressures on the costs of the
projects of public interest, as well as those of the public projects and PPPs that are in the auctioning pipeline. At the same time, the
creation of a price monitoring authority and the establishment of a company for specifications and pricing of technical works and
studies are promoted in order for the price adjustments to be carried out automatically.
Following meetings with the relevant government officials, the construction industry expects the initial state interventions to be made
in the direction of increasing the payments approved for public works, and then to proceed with the finding of resources for the
adjustment of the budgets of the executed projects. and under auction. within the budgetary capabilities of the country.
The impact on the Group's gross result has been largely absorbed and incorporated into the 2021 financial results, but remains part of
the revaluation which will be borne by the 2022 result.
[see the relevant paragraph "Impact of price increases of materials, transport costs and fuel" in section "A. Important Events during
2021”]
14
d. Credit Risk
The Group’s Strategic Planning & Risk Management Committee has adopted a credit policy according to which the credit score of new
clients is assessed individually before being officially offered the standard terms and conditions of payment and delivery. Regarding
public works, until the economic environment improves, the Group follows a policy of participating only in tenders where project
financing is secured with European Union funds.
At any point in time, the Group is involved in a large number of projects in Greece and abroad, with select clients with a proven record
of reliability and credit worthiness. In the local market, the Greek State has traditionally been the largest client, as the private sector
historically is a small player in building facilities and infrastructure projects where the Group specializes in. Participation in self-financed
projects in the form of concessions and PPP has somewhat limited the participation of the Greek State in total Group revenues. With
the exception of the large project for Line 4 of the Athens Metro which the Company added, the participation of PPP projects and
concession-related works is expected to grow larger in total activity in coming years. In international markets, the Group is mostly
involved in private sector projects. Under this light of clientele diversification, the Group presents a medium level of credit risk
concentration.
As a result of the international practice in the construction sector, Group transactions are required to be secured to a large extent by
the intervention of the banking sector and international credit insurance firms in issuing guarantees in all stages of a signed project
contract, from participating in the bidding, to receiving an advance payment, the execution of the project in discrete phases until its
final delivery.
To calculate the provision for impairment of receivables from clients and other debtors, the Group assesses the risk level of each client
according to the aging breakdown of receivables in arrears and their broader credit-worthiness.
This way, the Group provides a realistic view of the level of doubtful receivables in its financial accounts and keeps any adverse impact
in upcoming financial periods in check. It should be noted that the Group has in recent years been charging increased provisions for
impairment of its receivables from clients and debtors, as may be seen in the following table.

e. Input Price Risk
The Group is exposed to volatility in input prices for raw materials and other supplies, which in most cases are internationally-priced
commodities, such as cement, metal rebars and fuel. The Group is centrally purchasing supplies for all its subsidiaries to secure
economies of scale. In several cases it pre-orders large quantities of supplies to lock in their purchase price and escape future price
shifts.
f. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk refers to the likelihood of current assets, ie those that may be disposed off on a short-term span, being insufficient to
cover short-term liabilities when they become due. The following table shows the Group had positive net current assets at the end of
2021, though lower compared to a year earlier.

The Group follows a policy of securing adequate cash to meet upcoming liabilities at any point in time. To this extent, the Group seeks
to maintain cash in physical form or in agreed credit lines sufficing for expected payments over the period of a month. The Finance
Department prepares a detailed monthly and 12-month cash plan, as well as revising on a quarterly basis the 5-year budget and cash
flow statement.
The basic criterion in evaluating the course of cash liquidity is the aging analysis or maturity of the Group’s financial liabilities, starting
from balance sheet date until those liabilities are due.
The following tables provide an analysis of the aging of liabilities for the Company and the Group as of 31.12.2021 and the comparable
date in 2020.

g. Cash Flow Risk
The Group occasionally makes use of complex financial products in association with the banking sector to hedge the cash flow primarily
to specific investments in self-financed projects. The part of the cash flow hedge which was absolutely effective is credited directly to
shareholder funds through the Table of Changes in Own Equity of concessionaires, in line with the provisions of the International
Accounting Standards. The ineffective part of the gain or loss is charged directly to the income statement of the companies. Therefore,
the Group books its share in its consolidated financial accounts according to the respective entries in associated companies, in line with
International Accounting Standard 28.
h. Forex Risk
The Group receives a large part of its revenues from works in international markets, with a significant portion of those revenues
coming from countries outside the eurozone. In cases of projects outside the eurozone, the Group makes an effort to match its
receivables in foreign currency with payables in the same currency, effectively hedging part of its foreign exchange risk. The Group also
carries out, partially at minimum, financial hedging of its receivables and payables in foreign currency through agreements with
banking institutions.
Sensitivity analysis of Group financial position to potential shifts in foreign currency parities shows that the impact on financial results
and shareholder funds of a ±5% variation in the exchange rates which the Group is exposed to amounts to ±€0.43 million at the end of
2021, versus ±€0.19 million in the previous year. It should be noted that the effect on Group results and shareholder funds from
exchange rate swings in 2021 was almost exclusively attributed to the US dollar, used in the Group’s ongoing international energy
projects, while the UK sterling and the Croatian kuna had a much smaller effect.
i. Insurance Risk
The Company and its subsidiaries are covered by reputable insurance companies against basic risk arising from their business activity,
relating to breakdowns and damages in their technical equipment, personnel accidents, and force majeure events. Insurance coverage
20
is bound to usual terms for each contract and is seen adequate overall. Basic insurance provides full coverage of the undepreciated
accounting value of fixed assets against catastrophic and other risks, with an emphasis on technical equipment in Greece and abroad as
well as construction projects. Insurance contracts for projects also cover civil responsibility of the Company versus third parties.
j. Geopolitical Risk
Geopolitical risk is present throughout the Eastern Mediterranean region, the Middle East and Northern Africa Group due to conflicts
and unrest linked to the overturning of old political regimes, the rise of new fanatic religious groups, and the conflict for control of
natural resources.
The international activity and expansion of the Group outside Europe has focused on countries with a reduced geopolitical risk, as
AVAX Group follows an independent international path subsequent to the liquidation in 2018 of the Joannou & Paraskevaidis Group,
with which we cooperated in these local markets.
Receivables from Clients for the Company and the Group include a revised amount of €22.8 million which is in arrears over 4 years.
This amount concerns part of the value of an invoice issued towards a project in Lebanon out of the total claimed amount, for which a
Petition for Arbitration has been filed to the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), which was halted till
31.05.2020 as part of an effort to resolve the dispute off-courts. While this effort towards a friendly resolution of the dispute
continues, the Company decided to re-start the halted arbitration before ICSID. The Company submitted its first full memorandum
(Claimant’s Memorandum) to the Arbitration Court on 22.06.2020. The Lebanese State submitted its detailed memorandum on
23.06.2021, while on 06.08.2021 both sides to the arbitration requested to submit additional documents. The Company submitted on
14.02.2022 its response to memorandum filed by the Lebanese State and rebutted the expert report used by the Lebanese State. The
final filing by the Lebanese State is expected on 12.07.2022.
[see Notes to the 2021 Financial Accounts for more details]
k. Financial Risk
The Group finances its fixed assets with long-term bond loans and its operations with working capital, while also using performance
bonds issued by banking institutions to participate in project tenders and guarantee their proper execution to clients. The terms and
pricing of those financial products, ie interest rates and bond fees, are determined by international and local liquidity conditions
beyond the control of the Group, despite the good relationship maintained with the local banking system. The economic crisis which
started at the end of the 2000 decade, squeezed liquidity conditions in the banking sector, and in turn, the construction sector.
Total debt & leasing for the Group amounted to €495.4 million on 31.12.2021 versus €614.8 million a year earlier, with its long-term
segment accounting for 77% of the total in 2021 as opposed to 83% in 2020. At parent company level, total debt & leasing amounted
to €459.1 million at the end of 2021 versus €517.9 million in the previous year.
According to the sensitivity analysis of the Group’s debt to potential changes in the Euribor rate, the effect of a ±100 basis point
interest rate variation on Group financial results and shareholder funds at the end of 2021 amounts to ±€3.81 million, versus ±€5.12
21
million in the previous year. At parent company level, the respective effect at the end of 2021 amounted to ±€3.49 million versus
±€4.32 million a year earlier.
3. Dividend Policy
Due to the accumulated losses from previous years, Company management proposes to shareholders at the Annual General Meeting
for 2021, which is scheduled for 23.06.2022, that no dividend is distributed for the year.
4. Own Shares
As of the end of 2021, neither the parent company nor its subsidiaries hold any own shares (sovereign stock). The general shareholders
meetings of parent company AVAX SA and its subsidiaries have never discussed or voted for a proposal to purchase own shares, and
have never carried out any transaction in own shares.
C. Important Transactions Between the Company and Related Parties
The most important transactions of the Company over the 01.01.2021-31.12.2021 period with related parties as per IAS 24, pertain to
transactions with subsidiaries, as follows:

2. Financial Results 2021
The activity of the energy sector is classified as discontinued operation in the financial results of 2021 due to the decision to sell the
100% subsidiary Volterra, including its participations in RES projects. More specifically, the discontinued operation in 2021 had a
turnover of €190.6 million, producing a €14.4 million net after tax loss and a negative €7.1 million EBITDA.
2021 financial results were burdened with extraordinary and non-operating charges due to write-off of doubtful receivables and
other provisions amounting to €15.7 million, while in 2020 the corresponding charge for write-offs had amounted to €17.1 million.
Consolidated turnover from continuing operations amounted to €592.2 million in 2021, compared to €462.7 million in 2020.
The gross profit of consolidated results from continuing operations amounted to €31.6 million in 2021 compared to €53.6 million in
2020, with the relative profit margin contracting to 5.3% versus 11.5% in 2020. The drop in gross profitability is due to the increased
cost of ongoing projects, the majority of which are scheduled to be delivered in 2022, on the back of price hikes in building materials
and fuel.
The net after tax result of the Group from continuing operations in 2021 was a €2.0 million profit versus a €10.5 million profit in
2020.
The EBITDA result, ie earnings before taxes, financial expenses and depreciation, from continuing operations of the Group, produced
a €51.0 million profit in 2021, down from €62.3 million in the previous year.
Net financial cost decreased to €22.3 million in 2021 from €24.3 million in the previous year, in line with the trend of total Group
debt, including leasing, which fell from €614.8 million at the end of 2020 to €495.5 million at the end of 2021. Group net debt
decreased to €328.3 million at the end of 2021 from €453.8 million a year earlier, as a result of the drop in debt and an increase in
cash and restricted deposits. During 2021, bank debt fell €55.7 million at Company level, whereas the corresponding figure for the
29
Group was a drop of €114.7 million, of which the amount of €56.3 million was accounted for by the discontinued operation of the
energy segment.
Management places particular emphasis on careful management of cash planning, but at the same time investments are constantly
made mainly in concession projects, while significant working capital is required for the start of new projects. A general trend of
containment of the Group's borrowing is established, with the participation of dividends from concession participations.
According to the parent company and consolidated financial results for the year 2021, the Company covers the financial ratios of
liquidity, capital adequacy and profitability (except for some for which exemptions / waivers were granted by the Bondholders),
which are included in the contracts signed at the end of 2014 with Greek banks for the issuance of syndicated bond loans amounting
to €238 million and €187 million, and were amended during 2022 regarding the repayment schedule and the interest rate margin.
On 31.12.2021, the Group classified €150.3 million worth of assets in its balance sheet as group of assets held for sale due to the
discontinuation of the energy business segment, according to IFRS 5. Correspondingly, it classified €148.3 million worth of liabilities
as a group held for sale.
The main current asset items of the balance sheet, such as receivables from clients and construction contracts, moved lower as the
Group continues its policy of recording significant provisions in each fiscal period. Restricted deposits of the Group are owned by the
Branch of the parent company in Iraq and register a drop in line with the progress of the energy project in Baghdad.
Non-debt and other current liabilities to suppliers increased during 2021, reaching €376.2 million at the end of the year from €421.3
million at the end of 2020, due to a €74.5 million drop in the corresponding balance sheet item for the discontinued operation and a
€45 million increase in continuing operations.
The value of the Group's participations in concessions eased marginally during 2021, reaching €340.4 million at the end of the year
compared to €341.3 million in 2020. For detailed information purposes, it should be noted that the valuation of investments in
concessions in the non-consolidated accounts of the Company is recorded at their fair value, as per independent appraisal reports. In
consolidated Group accounts, these investments are consolidated using the equity method, except for participations below 20%
(Moreas Motorway and Olympia Motorway, which are also recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at their fair values). As a
result, at the end of 2021, a fair value of €176 million, corresponding to the difference between the fair value of consolidated
concessions and their equity value, is not recorded in the consolidated accounts because participations (except those two mentioned
above) are consolidated using the equity method.

At parent company level, turnover in 2021 registered strong growth relative to the previous year. Turnover reached €560.9 million in
2021 versus €444.0 million in 2020. Nevertheless, gross profit decreased to €18.1 million in 2021 from €38.2 million a year earlier, on
the back of a disproportionate increase in the cost of sales relative to the volume of activity, reaching €542.8 million in 2021 versus
€405.8 million in 2020. The increase in the cost of sales of the parent Company is due to the significant price inflation in building
materials, equipment, fuel and freight cost during the year, driving the gross margin of the Company to 3.2% in 2021 from 8.6% in
2020.
Income from participations for the parent Company was lower in 2021, reaching €18.9 million from €40.0 million in 2020, due to the
receipt of reduced dividends for the previous year from concessions on the back of measures to inhibit the spread covid-19 which
limited vehicle traffic.
Earnings before interest, tax and amortization for the parent company recorded a €20.1 million profit in 2021 versus €60.4 million a
year earlier.
3. Activity per business segment
Construction
The Group’s construction segment remained very active in 2021 as the supply chain for building materials and the entire project
execution process adjusted to the new global conditions brought about from the imposition of restrictive measures in transportation
and the operation of businesses in 2020 to combat the covid-19 pandemic. However, price inflation in fuel and raw materials during
2021 adversely affected the grow result of projects, leading to a loss-making result. Following the discontinuation of energy-related
activities, the construction segment contributes 97% of total Group revenues, with the ratio of revenue from international and
domestic projects standing at around 3 to 1.
Energy (Power Plants & LNG)
The Group’s main energy projects in progress in 2021 were the design & construction of a 1,650MW power plant in Iraq, the design
& construction of an exhaust gas desulphurization system at the 375MWe Lignite-fired Unit V of the Aghios Dimitrios power plant in
Northern Greece, and the IGB natural gas pipeline connecting the Greek and the Bulgarian natural gas networks. The Group hopes
that the experience from ongoing projects delivered, as well as those recently completed, such as the TAP gas pipeline in Northern
Greece, the LNG terminal in Malta, the earlier 1,500ΜW power plant in Iraq, and the 3rd LNG tank in Revythousa, will help its
bidding success for other similar projects, mainly in international markets where the demand for design & construction by
specialized manufacturers is very high. Recent developments in the energy market and the pressing need of western economies to
reduce their dependence on Russian natural gas imports is expected to give a significant boost to the construction of LNG terminals
and storage facilities, and even more natural gas pipelines.
Concessions
32
Group accounts include low amounts of revenue from its participations in concessions because it does not fully consolidate them,
with the exception of Athens Marina. Consolidated 2021 results include income from related parties corresponding to Group share in
the profit of concession participations, such as the Athens Ring Road, the Rio-Antirrio Bridge, the Aegean Motorway, Olympia
Motorway, Moreas Motorway etc.
By and large, traffic in road concessions was in line with long-term projections due to their key role in local transportation and
vehicle commutes, up until the imposition of lockdown measures in March 2020 to inhibit the spread of covid-19. In 2021, traffic in
those concessions registered a recovery relative to 2020 due to the gradual ease in lockdown measures. Aggregate vehicular traffic
in Greece’s entire highway network in 2021 versus the (reference pre-covid year) 2019 showed a -12% change, nevertheless
recording significant improvement relative to -24% observed in 2020 relative to 2019.
It should be noted that the rate of recovery in vehicular traffic of Greece’s highways was gradually increasing during 2021. In fact,
aggregate traffic in all highways, except for Egnatia Highway, in the second half of the year was slightly higher in comparison with the
respective period of 2019. In the Athens Ring Road, toll crossing by vehicles were down 11% in 2021 relative to 2019, however in the
second half of the year toll crossings were up 1% relative to the respective six-month period of 2019, despite the fact that passenger
traffic at the Athens international airport served by the Ring Road still being far lower than that of 2019. Average daily toll crossings
in the Athens Ring Road reached around 210 thousand vehicles in 2021, versus around 180 thousand vehicles in 2020 and 236
thousand vehicles in 2019. In the second half of 2021, average daily toll crossings exceeded 241 thousand vehicles.
Concessionaires whose financial results were adversely affected by traffic restrictions imposed by the government, have claimed
compensation for foregone revenue, as provided by the concession contracts. In the long run, the revenues and dividends of these
concessions are expected to trend according to the country’s economic condition, posing no issues regarding the collection of
dividends.
Real Estate
Real estate development for the Group is carried out through subsidiary AVAX Development SA. In recent years, due to the crisis in
the real estate market, the company had not proceeded to the development of new real estate, focusing on pushing forward with
licensing and permitting procedures for some privately owned land in Greece and abroad, and occasional sales of the available
homes developed in the past.
In 2021, AVAX Development was re-activated to a large extent, participating in the developments of the domestic market. In
particular, it started the development of a 2,200sqm plot to build a residential complex in the southern suburbs of Athens, while at
the same time it proceeded with the design and development of holiday housing complexes in Chania, Crete. AVAX Development
also announced its 15% participation, in collaboration with Dimand SA, in the development project of a plot of 18,730sqm in Neo
Faliron for the creation of a 57,450sqm building complex for mixed residential and commercial use, overlooking the Saronic Gulf and
very good transportation accessibility. The company also monitors the developments for the participation in the development
projects of Elliniko, in combination with parent AVAX and international partners.
Facility Management
33
The Group is active in facility management with success through its subsidiary Task J&P-AVAX SA, which boasts a good clientele base
in the private and the public sector. The company offers a wide range of services for managing and maintaining business
installations, corporate offices and buildings. The outlook is positive because the targeting of the client base reduces doubtful
receivables and is based on long-term contracts and relations with clients.

The capital leverage indicator is calculated as the ratio of the total of Short-term and Long-term loans at year-end to Total Shareholder
Funds at year-end, taking into account the funds deposited by a main shareholder towards the share capital increase approved by the
general meeting of Company shareholders. This indicator examines the relationship between loans and own equity to assess whether
the business is adequately capitalized or exhibits excessive exposure to bank loans and borrowed capital. Calculations take into
account project financing and non-bank leasing to offer a more realistic view of Group liabilities for continuing operations.

H. Expectations & Prospects for 2022
Having recorded a GDP growth rate of 8.3% in 2021, the Greek economy is expected in 2022 to continue recovering from the
unexpected 9% recession caused by the covid-19 pandemic in 2020. However, the financial institutions in Greece and abroad
monitoring the performance of the Greek economy, have recently lowered the bar in their forecast for the growth rate of 2022
compared to initial estimates.
Having largely adapted to the new circumstances brought about by the pandemic, mainly in terms of transport and production process,
the Greek and global economy is now being challenged by the intensifying crisis in the energy markets and the rise in prices for basic
foodstuffs and raw materials and construction materials due to the war raging in Ukraine. This blend of adverse developments is
expected to put significant pressure on household disposable income.
The total cost to the growth rate of Greece from the developments in the energy market and the effects of the Russian invasion of
Ukraine will range between one and two percentage points, according to the first estimates of the Greek government. At the same
time, the budget deficit will be widened by at least one percentage point and an increase in inflation will be recorded in a large single-
digit percentage, after several years of small or even negative changes in the consumer price index.
The Report of the Governor of the Bank of Greece, which incorporates the corresponding forecasts of the European Central Bank,
formulates a downward revision of the projected growth rate of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Greece for 2022 to 3.8%, as
opposed to an initial growth forecast of 4.8% posted prior to the outbreak of hostilities in Ukraine, according to the assumptions of the
basic scenario for an end to the crisis in the coming summer. Should the worst-case scenario prevail, according to which the crisis in
international energy and food prices will persist after the summer, with a further deterioration of business confidence and turmoil in
the financial markets, then the impact on GDP growth will be 2 percentage points, whereby GDP will grow by 2.8% in 2022.
Respectively, the inflation forecast has been raised to 5.1% on average in 2022, compared to 4.1% prior to the war, but under the
worst-case scenario the forecast is adjusted upwards to 7.1%.
In particular, with regard to the AVAX Group, in 2022 it is estimated that further improvement in financial performance will be
recorded, with dynamic growth of construction activity and enhanced profitability, especially if the geopolitical risk from the Eastern
European region is soon mitigated, helping to normalize in the markets of energy, transport and construction materials. Most of the
projects undertaken in previous years are completed by the middle of this year, and now the projects that are now entering the
implementation phase and the continuous strengthening of the outstanding balance with new quality projects lay the foundations for
the long-term development of the Group.

With all issues pertaining to sustainability and sustainability coming increasingly in the spotlight, AVAX set up in 2021 an ESG /
Sustainable Development Committee, comprising executives of the main departments of the Company. The aim of the committee is to
have a systematic and in-depth approach to the relevant issues, effectively monitoring and improving the socio-economic footprint
caused to the economy and society by its direct, indirect and induced activities and its construction projects.
In addition, the Company has a Corporate Social Responsibility team, which monitors and records the annual action plan on
sustainability issues and submits proposals, with the aim of creating value for all stakeholder groups.
The following sections summarize the results of the policies and procedures implemented by AVAX, citing relevant reports on its
environmental and social performance (presentation of relevant non-financial indicators).
A detailed report is included in the Annual Report on Sustainable Development of the Company.
Environmental issues
AVAX's commitment to continuous improvement of its environmental performance is based on the adoption of an environmental
policy and the implementation of an integrated environmental management. To implement its environmental policy and achieve the
objectives deriving from it, the Company applies an Environmental Management System which is certified according to ISO 14001. In
this context, it develops and implements environmental programs, while at the same time it systematically invests in environmental
protection infrastructures.
In all projects, from construction to restoration and recovery stage, all issues related to the environment and its protection, constitute
a top priority for the Company. In this context, we take care of the education and continuous information of the employees on
environmental issues, while also implementing specific actions to effectively manage the environmental impact.
Moreover, AVAX implements an Energy Management System according to the ISO 50001 standard, for all its activities and taking into
account the international initiative of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, records, controls and carries out actions to reduce energy usage
(e.g. replacement of older lamps with newer LED technology, installation of electricity monitoring meters, employee awareness
program, etc.)
Based on the Company's Environmental Policy, procedures are applied for the definition of the Environmental Objectives, which are
clear, measurable, achievable and time-bound. By operating in this way, the Company recognizes in a timely manner the
environmental impacts that may be created and manages them effectively. In particular, regarding the proper management and
reduction of energy consumption, the Company's approach includes its certification based on the international standard ISO 50001 and
the Energy Management Policy, which is implemented from 2020. Based on this, AVAX is committed, between others, for:
✓ Achievement of continuous improvement in energy performance and the Energy Management System of the Company
✓ Establishing and reviewing goals and objectives in matters of energy management
41
✓ Contribution to tackling climate change, by improving energy efficiency and saving natural resources throughout the life cycle
of the Company's services
✓ Supply of high energy efficiency products and services
✓ Planning for improvement of energy efficiency
✓ Continuous education, training and motivation of the staff, in matters of energy management
✓ Continuous monitoring, analysis and evaluation of the energy performance and the Energy Management System of the
Company
Environmental management in all projects
In every project and area where it is active, AVAX sets as primary concern the minimization of the environmental burden, so in the face
of an environmental incident the Company immediately puts into operation a relevant intervention plan and the coordination of the
Emergency Situation Team (EST). ESTs usually consist of 4 or 5 employees in each project, including the team leader / team leader.
In addition, the Environmental Engineer and the responsible engineer of the project, contribute to the proper management of
incidents. The Environmental Engineer or the responsible engineer guides and coordinates the EST and takes all necessary measures to
ensure the suspension / resolution of the incident or the containment of its extent.
In addition, the energy consumption, direct and indirect emissions, as well as the use of water are systematically recorded and
monitored in all Company projects. The water used during the production process in the facilities of the projects, comes from the
water supply network of each area, drilling and so on. Finally, waste management (hazardous and non-hazardous) is carried out only in
cooperation with properly licensed management companies.
Labour issues
Company employees are the most important asset in its operation and development. Coupled with the effective implementation of its
policies, the Company implements a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which defines the framework of its operating principles and
comprises the basic tool for the formation of a unified corporate culture. In this context, the Company places particular emphasis on:
• hiring personnel through selection and evaluation systems governed by meritocracy, according to the needs and demands of
each work area
• the provision of equal opportunities in education and career development to all employees
• the objective and evaluation of employees based on merit
• the effective management of health and safety of its employees, and promotion of a prevention culture
• protection of all employees and associates from the implications of the covid-19 pandemic

educational programmes focus mainly on issues of environmental project management, implementation of quality programmes,
security measures, first aid, risk management, as well as issues related to information on personal data protection (GDPR).
In addition, by actively supporting the new generation, AVAX provides the opportunity for young people to do their internship at its
facilities, with the aim of getting to know the working environment, training and gaining work experience.
Equal opportunities and respect for human rights
Establishing a working environment of equal opportunities free of discriminations, where all employees enjoy the same rights and are
treated fairly, is a core value of the Company. The Company incorporates in its corporate values the 10 Principles of the UN Universal
Pact which include in particular the protection of human and labour rights, the safeguarding and promotion of prosperity at all ages,
gender equality, the reduction of inequality within and among countries. AVAX’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics refers to the
above values and gives guidelines to employees by cultivating Respect and Protection of Human Rights.
Covid-19 pandemic
AVAX took immediate action regarding the Covid-19 pandemic, developing an integrated response framework. In the context of the
annual Written Occupational Risk Assessment (WORA) implemented for the Company's office buildings, as well as for all projects, the
Company took all necessary measures to control and prevent the effects of the pandemic, while developing a specific management
process for managing suspicious and possible cases, both inside and outside Company premises. It also maintained constant
communication with all employees, to whom the preventive measures for personal and occupational protection, prepared by the
Company, were communicated. In addition, the Company collaborated with special centres for conducting Covid-19 molecular tests on
employees and associates, in case this was deemed necessary by the occupational doctors.
Health and Safety at work
For the effective management of relevant issues, an integrated Occupational Health and Safety Management (OHSM) system is used,
certified according to international standard ISO 45001. A perpetual goal and commitment for all is the continuous and daily effort to
minimize accidents at work, in all construction sites and areas of activity of AVAX. In this direction, the Company consistently invests in
training, security upgrade projects, medical services, etc.
Through its OHSM at work and the ultimate goal of "zero accidents", the Company implements a specific incident management
procedure, to define an effective mechanism for the management of accidents that may occur during works (at construction sites) or
at other facilities. In addition, at each construction site, the Safety Manager is responsible for health and safety issues, who carries out
inspections at the facilities, takes care of training of employees, as well as for the resolution of any issues that arise, always in
collaboration with the site manager.
Medical consultant: Since 2013, AVAX makes use of the services of a medical consultant, as an additional benefit to its employees.
The medical consultant visits Company headquarters once a week, giving all employees the opportunity to visit him, to be examined
and to seek his advice. It is worth noting that the Company has at its headquarters, a well-equipped doctor's office, for use by the
medical consultant.
44
The Company places great importance on training and participation of its employees in related issues. To monitor and evaluate
performance in the field of health and safety at work, the Company uses internationally applicable and measurable indicators.
LTIFR: Lost

Customer Relations and Quality Assurance
Customer relations
The long-term relationships of trust that AVAX has developed with its customers both domestically and internationally, as well as their
high levels of satisfaction past the completion of the projects, are one of the key components of its successful course. Most projects
must meet specific conditions and requirements set by the clients/project owners themselves. In addition, upon delivery of public
works, a protocol of good project execution is sent, as the Company is interested in recording their satisfaction. Complaints that may
arise are communicated directly to Project Managers, responsible for each project, via e-mail and / or telephone.
An important element for the successful outcome and delivery of the projects, is also the excellent selection of suitable associates
(designers, architectural offices, civil engineers and collaborators of other specialties). AVAX expects from all partners, as well as
members of consortiums to share its values and to comply with any applicable legislation.
Quality assurance
AVAX develops policies and procedures for all its activities, controls the effectiveness of their implementation and takes corrective
action for improvement. The Company implements a Quality Policy, which supports an efficient and effective Quality Management
System, in accordance with the requirements of the international standard ISO 9001. The Management System is designed to cover all
management functions of the Company and has, among others, as a goal:
• Maintaining and improving its reputation for the quality management of its operations.
• The execution of projects in accordance with the requirements and expectations of customers, always in accordance with
applicable regulations, standards, legislation, etc.
• The utilisation of the acquired know-how and the exploration of the knowledge through systematic training of employees.

Responsible supply chain management
AVAX 's relations with suppliers and subcontractors throughout the Company' s range of activities and operations are in accordance
with the principles of fairness, transparency, trust, honesty and integrity. As the promotion of customer relations and the continuous
improvement of the Company's services is a priority for AVAX, the Company places special emphasis on its relationship with suppliers
and great importance in their selection, as well as the supply of materials from local suppliers, where possible.
In this context, the Company has adopted and implements a procurement procedure. The Company is selective on its suppliers, aiming
to build long-term relationships with them. In addition to raw materials, the Company purchases mechanical equipment, necessary for
the execution of projects. The acquisition of mechanical equipment is described in the relevant procedure for managing machinery,
promoting the environmental performance in terms of their maintenance and efficient usage in ongoing projects.
The precise specifications of both raw materials and mechanical equipment are clearly stated by the customer / project owner for each
project carried out by the Company. In this context, the implementation of the procurement procedure by the Company ensures that
the materials incorporated in projects always meet the respective specifications.
Evaluation of suppliers: Suppliers of raw materials and mechanical equipment, as well as mechanical equipment, who have not
conducted prior business with the Company, are evaluated for the first time through a questionnaire with specific evaluation criteria. If
their evaluation is positive, they are registered as approved suppliers in the Company's ERP. During 2021, 189 suppliers were
evaluated, based on labour and social criteria (percentage of total 86.7%).
A management process, which includes their evaluation and their registration in the Company's ERP, is applied for the selection and
monitoring of the performance of subcontractors. Depending on the requirements of the projects and the critical status of works,
stage-2 inspections of the projects may be carried out at worksites by quality inspector engineers.
It is worth noting that 60-70% of the Company’s larger suppliers (suppliers of concrete, metal parts, asphalt) have adopted Sustainable
Growth practices in all their activities.
Social issues
The social commitment of AVAX affects all its actions and strengthens the responsible way in which it operates, enhancing both its
business development and the production of value to its stakeholders. The Company supports local communities and develops
cooperative relationships, for early identification of the needs and concerns of their residents. The Company also supports vulnerable
social groups and provides sponsorships and donations to both organizations and various actions of local communities, covering a
significant range of needs. In particular, the social actions of the Company are distributed in the following axes:
• Actions for the promotion of Cultural Heritage
• Actions for health and vulnerable social groups
• Actions for the protection of the environment
• Support for events and conferences
46
Through its activity, the Company produces multiple benefits for the society. In addition to paying salaries and other benefits to its
employees, it pays the corresponding taxes and contributions to the state, while also making continuous investments and payments to
suppliers of materials and services. That way, the overall positive impact of the Company on the local as well as the wider community is
very significant.
Risk management
AVAX operates in an economic and social environment characterised by a variety of risks, both financial and non-financial. In this
context, it has established procedures for the control and management of both financial and non-financial risks. A key category of non-
financial risks are operating risks, which refer to risks directly related to Company operations, such as environmental, health and safety
hazards. Management of these risks is considered very important by Company management as they involve the risk of directly or
indirectly affecting its smooth operation. The Company's internal operating charter clearly describes the risk areas and includes specific
procedures developed on the basis of the Prevention Principle for the management of Health, Safety and Environment issues.
Moreover, within the framework of the certified Management Systems applied by AVAX, a relevant assessment is carried out on an
annual basis for related risks. To reduce the probability and the importance of the occurrence of risks in the specific sectors, the
Company takes precautionary measures, plans and implements specific programs and actions and monitors its performance through
relevant indicators (quality, environment, health and safety at work) set.
Details on all of AVAX’s financial risks are included in the relevant section of this Report of the Board of Directors.
Anti-corruption and anti-bribery issues
AVAX recognises the need to take precautionary measures to combat potential risks arising from issues related to transparency and
corruption. In this context, management decided during 2019 to proceed with the implementation of an Anti-Corruption Management
System, in accordance with the requirements of the ISO 37001 International Standard, continuously assessing the risk related to anti-
Bribery issues that may arise in the course of its business activities and through it. Furthermore, the implementation of the system
allows the effective prioritisation and evaluation of the risks and opportunities presented, besides improving the entire set of
procedures.
As a result of the policies and relevant practices implemented by the Company, in 2021, as in previous years, no incidents of corruption
/ bribery have occurred.
NOTE:
The non-financial indicators presented in this report are in line with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI Standards) guidelines
for the issuance of Sustainability Reporting Guidelines by the Global reporting Initiative corporation. A detailed analysis is
included in the Annual Corporate Responsibility Report of the Company, which is available at webpage

EU Taxonomy
47
The Taxonomy Regulation is a key component of the European Commission’s action plan to redirect capital flows towards a more
sustainable economy. The EU Taxonomy is a classification system, of activities that can under certain conditions be considered as
environmentally sustainable or as activities that enable the transition to environmental sustainability. Under the Taxonomy regulation,
companies and organizations can attract funds to develop their sustainable activities as well as expand them further, provided they
meet certain criteria. The compliance with said criteria is monitored continuously and reported on an annual basis, included in the non-
financial section of the respective annual report.
The current section is included in the Non-Financial Information Report for the first time, as stipulated in EU Regulation 2020/852. The
information presented herein abide by the Regulation’s requirements and the Delegated Acts issued as of the time of this publication.
The related guidelines have a relative margin of interpretation and are constantly evolving to adjust to the needs of the process.
Following this, AVAX Group will pay close attention to the related developments and will adjust its approach accordingly regarding the
assumptions and applicable methodology.
Taxonomy-eligible economic activity means an economic activity that is described in the delegated acts supplementing the Taxonomy
Regulation. The key performance indicators (“KPIs”) include the turnover KPI, the Capex KPI and the Opex KPI. For the reporting period
2021, the KPIs in relation to Taxonomy-eligible and Taxonomy-non-eligible economic activities (Art. 10 (2) of the supplementary
Delegated Act on Art. 8) are as follows:
Eligible
Non-Eligible
Turnover
38.67%
61.33%
Cap Ex
13.48%
86.52%
Op Ex
67.42%
32.58%
Qualitative Information
Accounting Policy
I. Turnover KPI : The proportion of Taxonomy-eligible economic activities from the total turnover has been calculated
based on the net turnover from services corresponding to Taxonomy-eligible activities (numerator), divided by the total
net turnover (denominator), both of which referring to FY2021. The denominator of the turnover KPI is based on the
48
net turnover in accordance with IAS 1.82(a). Specifically, the total turnover of AVAX Group is presented in the Income
Statement.
II. CapEx KPI. The CapEx KPI is defined as the Taxonomy-eligible CapEx (numerator) divided by the total CapEx
(denominator). As for the reporting period 2021, we only report in the numerator on CapEx from taxonomy-eligible
economic activities, as there are no CapEx plans to upgrade a taxonomy-eligible economic activity to become
taxonomy-aligned or to expand a taxonomy-aligned economic activity. In addition, we have not reported purchases of
output from taxonomy-eligible economic activities and individual measures, enabling certain target activities, as reliable
statements on the taxonomy-alignment of our suppliers’ output are currently not available and we are not obliged to
assess the taxonomy-alignment of our individual measures for the purposes of the simplified reporting. The total capital
expenditure contains the additions to property, plant and equipment as well as intangible assets and right-of-use assets
during the fiscal year, before accounting for depreciation, amortization and any re-measurements, including those
resulting from any revaluations and impairments. The total capital expenditure of the Group is reconciled in the Cash
Flow Statement
III. OpEx KPI. It is defined as the Taxonomy-eligible OpEx (numerator) divided by the total OpEx (denominator). The
definition of EU Taxonomy for the operational expenses includes expenses for research and development, renovation
of buildings, maintenance and repair, as well as any other direct expenses related to the day-to-day maintenance of
property, plant and equipment. Total OpEx consists of direct non-capitalised costs relating to repair and maintenance
and short-term leases (denominator). It does not include expenditures relating to the day-to-day operation of PP&E
such as: raw materials, cost of employees operating the machine, electricity or fluids that are necessary to operate
PP&E. Similar to CapEx above, for the reporting period 2021 we only report in the numerator on OpEx from taxonomy-
eligible economic activities, as there are no OpEx plans to upgrade a taxonomy-eligible economic activity to become
taxonomy-aligned or to expand a taxonomy-aligned economic activity. In addition, we have not reported purchases of
output from taxonomy-eligible economic activities and individual measures, enabling certain target activities, as reliable
statements on the taxonomy-alignment of our suppliers’ output are currently not available and we are not obliged to
assess the taxonomy-alignment of our individual measures for the purposes of the simplified reporting.

Introduction

The term “Corporate Governance” describes the means by which companies are managed and controlled. It refers to a set of relations
between the Company management, its Board of Directors, its shareholders and other interested parties. Corporate governance is the
structure used to approach and set corporate targets, identify the main risks to its operations, define the means to achieving corporate
targets, set up the risk management system and enable the monitoring of the management’s performance and effectiveness in dealing
with all the afore-mentioned issues.
Effective corporate governance plays a meaningful and primary role in promoting competition among businesses and strengthening
the internal structure of their operations. The increased transparency resulting from effective corporate governance helps improve
overall economic activity in a corporation, to the benefit of its shareholders and other stakeholders.
This Corporate Governance Report is a special section of the Annual Report of the Board of Directors, in accordance with article 152 of
Law 4548/2018 and paragraph 3 of article 18 of Law 4706/2020.
The Company has adjusted its Corporate Charter to comply with Greece’s key Corporate Law 4548/2018.
1. Code of Corporate Governance
The Company complies with the principles of corporate governance, as outlined in pertinent legislation (article 37 of Law 3693/2008,
article 152 of Law 4548/2018 and its amendments, as well as Law 4706/2020).
1.1 Disclosure of compliance of the Company with corporate governance practices described in its Code of Corporate Governance
This Statement concerns the entire set of principles and practices observed by the Company in accordance with Law 3873/2010 and
article 152 of Law 4548/2018.
The Company voluntarily complies with the corporate governance practices outlined in its Code of Corporate Governance, accessible at
its website www.avax.gr. The Company has adopted the revised Code of Corporate Governance published in 2021 by Greece’s
Federation of Enterprises in association with the Greek Corporate Governance Council.
Corporate Governance refers to a set of relations between the Company management, its Board of Directors, its shareholders and
other interested parties. Corporate governance is the structure used to approach and set corporate targets, identify the main risks to
its operations, define the means to achieving corporate targets, set up the risk management system and enable the monitoring of the
management’s performance and effectiveness in dealing with all the afore-mentioned issues.
The legal framework of AVAX’s Code of Corporate Governance is the following:
i. Law 3693/2008 which enforced the setup of audit committees and corporate disclosure of sensitive information regarding the
ownership status and governance of companies
ii. Law 3873/2010 which put in effect the European directive #2006/46/EC, acting as a reminder for the need to adopt a Code of
Corporate Governance and becoming the main pillar of that Code
iii. Law 3884/2010 and Law 4548/2018 on shareholder rights and additional obligations regarding corporate disclosure to
shareholders in the run-up to General Meetings of shareholders
55
iv. Law 4548/2018 which updated the obligations of listed companies and the functioning of various administrative committees,
along with the disclosure of the Remuneration Report
v. Law 4706/2020 which will come in effect in July 2021, replacing Law 3016/2002, which focuses on the qualitative aspect of
Board members in listed companies, and introduces a series of statutory documents and administrative committees
Through its Code of Corporate Governance, the Company meets all relevant legal obligations and develops a corporate culture which
rests upon the principles of business ethics as well as the protection of the interests of shareholders and all interested parties.
1.2 Derogations from the Code of Corporate Governance and justification for those derogations. Special clauses of the Code not
applied by the Company and justification for not applying them
In accordance with article 152 of Law 4548/2018 currently in effect, a very important aspect of the Code of Corporate Governance is
the adoption of the standard for justification of non-compliance of the Company with specific areas of its Code of Corporate
Governance. Pertinent legislation and the Company-adopted Code follow the approach of “compliance or justification” and require
either the compliance with the Code of Corporate Governance in its entirety or the detailed analysis of areas of the Code where the
Company derogates from, along with the justification for this derogation.
In relation to the practices and principles of the Company’s Code of Corporate Governance, the following are the existing derogations
and their respective justifications:
i. Ensuring diversity criteria among senior management, with appropriate targeting and timing
Senior executives are meant to help the Company fulfil its purposes and service of its needs. Given that the Company is
predominantly active in the construction industry, the selection of appropriate executives with qualifications and experience in
undertaking, managing and executing technical projects, is based on knowledge, specialisation, skills and perception and not
dependent on their gender as required by diversity criteria. Therefore, there can be no targeting and timeline for achieving the
above criteria. Nevertheless, during the selection of such executives, the company observes the best possible balance of
diversity criteria, as required by law and formal and substantive qualifications.
ii. Ensuring sufficient time availability for the members of the Board of Directors to perform their duties, placing a restriction on
the participation in the administrative bodies of other unrelated companies
The election of the Company’s Board members is based on their knowledge and experience, as well as their familiarity with the
Company’s line of business. The exercise of their duties as well as the provision of their services in managing the company is a
primary priority and takes place unhindered and unaffected by any participation in the management bodies of unrelated
companies.
1.3 Corporate governance practices applied by the Company in excess of legal requirements
The corporate governance practices applied by the Company are in line with pertinent legislation and outlined in its Code of
Corporate Governance. The Company has segregated the duties of its Board Chairman from those of the Managing Director and
applies an integrated system of internal auditing in accordance with international standards and the regulatory framework in effect.
56
It has also introduced a Code of Conduct and an Internal Operating Charter to apply the standards of modern corporate governance
and effective Internal Auditing. The Audit Committee and the Nomination & Remuneration Committee have prepared their own
Operating Policy.
The composition of the Board of Directors meets the requirement for a minimum 25% representation of each gender in the total
number of Board members, as per article 3 of Law 4706/2020.
In line with Law 3016/2002 and 4706/2020, at least two non-executive Board members need also be “independent”. The Company’s
Board of Directors is comprised of 10 members, including five non-executive members, four of which are also Independent.
Company Board members are elected for a three-year term.
1.4 Application of Law 4548/2018 regarding Remuneration Policy and Remuneration Report
In compliance with Law 4548/2018, the Company has adopted an official Remuneration Policy for the members of its Board of
Directors, the text of which was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 01.09.2020.
The Company prepares an annual Remuneration Report which is introduced for discussion as an agenda item at the annual general
meeting. The Remuneration Report contains an overview of all types of remuneration of board members in accordance with
pertinent legislation and the approved remuneration policy.
1.5 Board Directors’ Suitability Policy
The Company has drafted a Suitability Policy for its executive members, in accordance with the provisions of article 3 of Law
4706/2020 and Circular 60/18.09.2020 of Greece’s Capital Market Commission, which was approved by the shareholders at the
Annual General Meeting of 24.06.2021. This text provides the guidelines on the set of principles and criteria that apply as a minimum
in the selection, replacement and renewal of the term of office of the members of the Board, in the context of the assessment of
individual and collective suitability. The Suitability Policy aims to ensure the quality staffing, efficient operation and fulfilment of the
role of the Board of Directors based on the overall strategy and the medium-term business aspirations of the Company in order to
promote the corporate interest.
1.6 Report of Independent Board Directors to Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting
The independent non-executive members of the Board of Directors of the Company submit a Report to the Annual General Meeting
of Shareholders, starting from the year 2021 according to the requirement of Law 4706/2020 (article 9 paragraph 5). This report
expresses an opinion on the quality characteristics of the management exercised by the executive members of the Board of
Directors, in terms of implementing good corporate governance practice and safeguarding the interests of shareholders, as well as
other internal and external stakeholders. Also, there is an opinion on the completeness and correctness of the content of the
Management Report of the Board of Directors and the Corporate Governance Statement which are included in the Annual Financial
Report.
1.7 Internal Operating Charter
57
The Company has approved an Internal Operating Charter to ensure its efficient and correct operation, in line with article 37 of Law
3693/2008, article 152 of Law 4548/2018, and mainly of Law 4706/2020 for corporate governance, coupled with the decisions of the
Hellenic Capital Market Commission on companies listed on the Athens Stock Exchange and the principles set by the Company's
Board of Directors. The Internal Operating Charter includes the description of the Company's management committees, their
membership and responsibilities, as well as the description of the organisational structure of the administrative services reporting to
Company management and their responsibilities. It also includes the procedures for hiring and evaluating the performance of the
Company's executives, as well as the basic principles of operation of the internal auditing unit and the code of transactions on

3.2 Shareholder rights and means of exercising them
Right to participate and vote at the General Assembly of the Company is granted to all holders of common registered shares appearing
on the Electronic Registry System of “Hellenic Exchanges SA”. The status of the shareholder must exist at the beginning of the fifth day
before the date of the initial meeting of the General Meeting (record date) as provided for in Article 124, paragraph 6 of Law
4548/2018. The Company acknowledges the right to participate and vote in the General Assembly only of shareholders as of the
respective recording date. The above record date also applies in case of postponement or recurring session, provided that the repeat
session takes place no more than thirty (30) days from record date. If this is not the case, or if a new invitation is published for a repeat
general meeting, according to the provisions of article 130 of Law 4548/2018, shareholders eligible for participating in the general
meeting are those on record at the beginning of the third day prior to the day of the postponed or repeat general meeting.
Shareholder status may be proven by any legal means, however, based on information received by the Company from the Central
Securities Depository which provides registry services or through the participants and registered intermediaries in the CSD in any other
case.
The exercise of these rights does not require the impounding of the shares of the beneficiary or the observance of any other similar
procedure, which restricts trading of the shares between the record date and the General Meeting.

representing one twentieth (1/20) of the paid up capital, the Board of Directors is obliged to announce to the General Meeting, if it is
regular, the amounts that during the last two years were paid to each member of the Board of Directors or directors of the Company,
as well as any benefit to such persons from any cause or contract of the Company with them. In all the above cases, the Board of
Directors may refuse to provide the information for substantive reasons, which is recorded in the minutes. Such a reason may be the
representation of the requesting shareholders on the Board of Directors in accordance with Articles 79 or 80 of Law 4548/2018. In the
cases of this paragraph, the Board of Directors may respond in unison to shareholders' requests with the same content.

Directors have received the relevant information in a sufficient manner.

Directors to provide information, is resolved by the Court of Justice by a decision given in the interim proceedings. By the same
judgment, the Court also obliges the Company to provide the information that it refused. The decision cannot be challenged by legal
remedies.

shall be made by means of an open vote procedure.

each shareholder. The Company is not obliged to include in the table shareholders holding up to one percent (1%) of the capital.
10. In all the cases of Article 141 of Law 4548/2018, the requesting shareholders are required to prove their shareholder status and,
except in the cases of the first subparagraph of paragraph 6, the number of shares they hold in the exercise of the relevant right. Such
proof is also the deposit of their shares, according to the provisions of paragraph 2 of Article 124 of Law 4548/2018. Shareholder status

Participation Procedure and Voting via Proxy
Each share entitles one vote to the General Meeting. All shareholders are entitled to participate and vote at the General Meeting. The
shareholder who participates in the General Meeting votes either in person or through representatives. Each shareholder may appoint
up to three (3) proxies. A representative acting for more than one shareholder may vote differently for each shareholder.
Legal entities participate in the General Assembly through their representatives.
Shareholders may appoint a representative for one or more General Meetings and for a certain time. The Delegate shall vote, in
accordance with the Shareholder's instructions, if any, and is obliged to archive the voting instructions for at least one (1) year from the
date of the General Assembly, or in case of postponement, of the last Repeat Assembly in which he used the proxy. Failure of the proxy
to comply with the instructions received does not affect the validity of the decisions of the General Assembly, even if the
representative's vote was decisive for achieving majority.
If a shareholder owns shares of the Company that appear in more than one securities accounts, this limitation does not prevent the
shareholder from designating different proxies for the shares appearing in each securities account in relation to the General Meeting.
Proxies are freely revocable.
Under Article 128, paragraph 5 of Law 4548/2018, the proxy of a shareholder is required to disclose to the Company, prior to the
commencement of the General Meeting, any specific event that may be useful to the shareholders for assessing the risk that the proxy
may serve interests other than the interests of shareholder. For the purposes of this paragraph, a conflict of interest may arise, in
particular where the proxy:
1. is a shareholder exercising control over the Company or another legal entity or entity controlled by that shareholder
73
2. a member of the Board of Directors of the Company or a senior director or a director to an entity controlling the Company
or other entity which controls the Company
3. an employee or certified auditor of the Company or a shareholder controlling the Company or other entity which is in turn
controlled by the controlling shareholder
4. a spouse or relative up to first degree of a person referred to in cases 1 to 3 above.
Pursuant to article 128 paragraph 4 of Law 4548/2018, the appointment and revocation or replacement of the representative or
representative of the shareholder are made in writing or by electronic means and are submitted to the Company at least forty eight
(48) hours before the appointed date of the General Meeting.

their physical presence at the venue, along with remote voting either by electronic means or by correspondence.

Internal Auditing Unit
Internal auditing is performed by the Company’s independent Internal Auditing Unit, according to its written operations regulation
(Internal Auditing Charter). The primary role of Internal Auditing is to monitor and improve the operations and policies of the Company
regarding its Internal Auditing System, the evaluation of risk management systems across the Company's operations in terms of

To the Shareholders of “AVAX S.A.”
Report on the Audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements of the Company “AVAX S.A.”

2021, and the separate and consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flow for
the year then ended, as well as a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. In our
opinion, the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company “AVAX S.A.” and its subsidiaries (the Group) as of December 31, 2021, and of
their financial performance and their consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the European Union.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) as incorporated in Greek
Legislation. Our responsibilities, under those standards are described in the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit
of the separate and consolidated financial statements” section of our report. During our audit, we remained
independent of the Company and the Group, in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for
Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) as incorporated in Greek legislation and the
ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements in Greece and we
have fulfilled our responsibilities in accordance current legislation requirements and the requirements of the
aforementioned IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of
the separate and the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters and the related risks
of material misstatement were addressed in the context of our audit of the separate and the consolidated financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these
matters.
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the Key audit
matter
Revenue recognition from construction contracts
As described in notes C.19, C.23.9, E.1. and Ε.20 of the
financial statements, the turnover of the Group and
the Company for the year ended 31.12.2021 amounts to
€592.215 thousand and €560.880 thousand,
respectively, and includes mainly revenue from the
construction contracts.
Revenue recognition from construction contracts, is
based on Management’s significant estimates and
judgments regarding the cost budget of the
construction projects for applying the percentage of
completion method according to IFRS 15.
Our audit approach was based on audit
risk and includes, among other things,
the following procedures:
• Understanding and evaluation of
the applied procedures by the Group and
the Company for the revenue recognition
from construction contracts and
evaluating the effectiveness of their
design.
• Evaluation of significant areas for
77
Revenue from construction contracts is recognized over
time and as the performance obligations are being
satisfied whereas their recognition requires estimates
and judgements according to the followings:
• The recognition of the performance obligations
and the time of their satisfaction,
• the allocation of the transaction price (contract
value) over the performance obligations,
• The determination of the total cost from the
contract date until the estimated date of its
completion (cost budget of project completion),
• Potential revisions of the project cost budget,
• The possibility of any customer approvals for
claims and incentives.
Given the significance of the matter above and the
level of the Management’s judgements and estimations
required we consider revenue recognition from
construction contracts as a key audit matter.
a sample of construction contracts,
under qualitative and quantitative
criteria, in order to examine the proper
accounting revenue recognition,
according to the applied accounting
principles and methods. For that
selected sample we conducted the
following procedures:
- Registering and understanding of
the main contract terms so as to
recognize and confirm, per project,
the performance obligations and the
time of their satisfaction.
- Comparison of the actual results per
sampled contract with the approved
budgets and the historical data so
as to assess the level of reliability
of the Management’s judgements
and estimates.
- Confirmation, on a sample basis, of
the completeness and accuracy of
the cost and other expenses
incurred for the satisfaction of the
performance obligations and their
reference to the corresponding
projects/contracts according to the
accounting data and the relevant
support evidence.
- Recalculation of the percentage of
completion of the performance
obligations based on the incurred
cost, the project managers’
relevant reports and the Company’s
relevant accounting data.
- Examination of the supporting
documentation in order to evaluate
the likelihood claims and incentives
be realized.

Recoverability of trade receivables
As described in Notes C.20, C.23.6 and Ε.21 of the
financial statements, the Group and the Company’s
trade receivables as at 31.12.2021 amount to €202.497
thousand and €186.277 thousand respectively while the

relevant accumulated impairment amounts to €53.484
thousand and €53.088 thousand, respectively.
The trade receivables of the Company and the Group
include receivables from local and foreign customers.
In case customers are unable to meet their contractual
obligations the Company and Group are exposed to high
level of credit risk.
The Management of the Group and the Company
evaluates the recoverability of its trade receivables
and estimates the necessary impairment provision for
the expected credit loss.
Given the significant value of the trade receivables and
the level of the Management’s judgements and
estimations required for the determination of their
recoverable value we consider the evaluation of the
impairment of the trade receivables of the Company
and the Group as a key audit matter.
methodology used by the Management of
the Company and the Group for the
recoverability of trade receivables.
• Examination of the legal
advisors’ letters concerning the matters
they dealt with throughout the year so as
to identify any issues about any trade
receivable balances that may not be
recoverable in the future.
• Receipt of third party
confirmation letters, for a representative
sample of trade receivables and
performance of procedures subsequent
to the date of the financial statements
for the assessment of the year-end
balances’ recoverability.
• Examination of the maturity of
the year-end trade receivable balances
and detection of any debtors facing
financial difficulty.
• Discussions with Management and
evaluation of the relevant estimations
according to the available information.
• Recalculation of the impairment
of trade receivables taking into
consideration specific criteria for
debtors, such as the maturity of the
balances, significant debtors and high
risk debtors.
• Evaluation of the adequacy and
appropriateness of the disclosures
included in Notes of the financial
statements.
Financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income
As described in Notes C.6, C.20, C.23.11 and Ε.15 of the
financial statements, the book value of the Financial
assets at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income
for the year ended 31.12.2021 in the separate and
consolidated financial statements amounts to €399.195
thousand and €120.064 thousand, respectively.
The Financial Assets at Fair Value through Other
Comprehensive Income are recognized at fair value
according to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”. The
determination of the fair value was based on the
estimation of the discounted projected cash flows given
Our audit approach was based on
audit risk and includes, among other
things, the following procedures:
• Review of the valuation
reports of the Financial Assets at Fair
Value through Other Comprehensive
Income which were prepared by
Management’s external experts and
assessment of the appropriateness of
the methodology, the discount rate
determination model, as well as the
reasonableness of the assumptions
79
that no active market exists for those financial assets
(participation in Concession companies). The estimation
of the projected cash flows involves subjectivity which
depends on various factors including estimations over
future revenue, the performance and market risks, cost
estimations as well as the use of the appropriate
discount rate.
Given the significance of the matter above and the level
of the required judgements and estimations we consider
it as a key audit matter.
and criteria of the relevant financial
models.
• Evaluation of the accuracy
and reliability of the inputs used and
are included in the Company’s
valuation data and are referred in the
relevant valuation reports made by
the Management’s external experts,
taking into consideration the relevant
financial data from the Concession
companies.
• Assessment of the
competence, objectivity and
independence of the Management’s
external experts.
• Assessment of the
mathematical accuracy of the
financial models.
• Discussions with Management
regarding any significant change or
facts concerning the aforementioned
Financial Assets.
• Evaluation of the adequacy
and appropriateness of the disclosures
included in Notes of the financial
statements.
Provisions and Contingent liabilities
As described in Notes C.8, C.23.8, Ε.28, and Ε.42 of the
financial statements, pending court and arbitration cases
exist regarding contractual-work disputes and other
issues against the Group’s companies.
Periodically, the Management of the Group examines the
status of each significant case and evaluates the
potential financial risk based on its legal advisors’
opinion. In case the potential loss from any claims and
legal cases is considered probable and the relevant
amount can be valuated reliably, the Management of the
Group recognizes provision for the estimated loss.
Management judgement is required to a great extent for
the determination of the probability and the degree of a
reliable risk assessment.
When other information is available, Management of the
Group re-evaluates the contingent liabilities regarding
pending claims and legal cases and may revise its
relevant estimations if necessary. Such revisions of the
contingent liabilities’ estimations may have a significant
impact on the financial position and results of the
Group.
Our audit approach was based on
audit risk and includes, among other
things, the following procedures:
• Receipt of response letters
from the legal advisors regarding
pending court and other legal cases.
• Discussions directly with the
legal advisors of the Group and
Management regarding the significant
pending legal cases.
• Evaluation of the
Management’s estimations for the
significant legal cases taking into
account the background of the case.
• Evaluation of the adequacy
and appropriateness of the disclosures
included in Notes of the financial
statements.
80
Given the significance of the matter above and the level
of the required judgements and estimations we consider
provisions and contingent liabilities as key audit matter.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information is included in the Board of Directors’
Report, as referred to the “Report on other Legal and Regulatory Requirements” section, in the Statements of the
Board of Directors Representatives, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we will
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the separate and consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on our audit, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement therein, we are required to report that matter. We have nothing to report regarding the
aforementioned matter.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the separate and consolidated
Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate and consolidated financial
statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as endorsed by the European Union,
and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate and
consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the separate and consolidated financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the
Company’s and Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless Management either intends to liquidate the
Company and the Group or to cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Audit Committee (art. 44 of Law 4449/2017) of the Company is responsible for overseeing the Company’s and
the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the separate and consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate and the consolidated financial
statements, as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an
auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee
that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs, as incorporated in Greek Legislation, will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users
taken on the basis of these separate and consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs as incorporated in Greek Legislation, we exercise professional judgment
and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate and consolidated financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
81
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit, in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company’s and the Group’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by Management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of Management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the Company’s and the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a
material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures
in the separate and consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report.
However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and the Group to cease to continue as a going
concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate and consolidated financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the separate and consolidated financial statements represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business
activities within the Group to express audit opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements. We
are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the Company and the Group. We
remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters
communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in
the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key
audit matters.

Notes and accounting policies
A. ABOUT THE COMPANY
A.1 General Information about the Company and the Group
In 2002, AVAX S.A. merged with its subsidiaries J&P (Hellas) S.A. and ETEK S.A. and was renamed into J&P-AVAX S.A, whereas
another 100% subsidiary unit, namely ETETH S.A., merged with its own subsidiary AIXMI S.A. The new business entities which
evolved out of these mergers made use of Law 2940/2001 on contractors’ certification for public works. The Group’s leading
company AVAX S.A. was awarded a 7
th
-class public works certificate, which is the highest class available, whereas ETETH S.A.
acquired a 6
th
-class certificate. In the year 2007 Avax SA acquired the subsidiary Athena SA. which during 2018 was merged by
absorption by the Company following the submission of an optional public offer and the exercise of the squeeze-out right of the
minority shareholders of ATHENA SA.
At the beginning of 2019, the Company was renamed to AVAX SA again in accordance with the General Meeting of Shareholders
of the Company on 27/03/2019 and the Approval Decision No. 40094/09-04-2019 by the Ministry of Economy and Development.
A.2 Activities
Group strategy is structured around three main pillars:
• Concessions
o Intense presence in concession project tenders, to maintain a substantial backlog of projects and secure long-term
revenue streams.
o Strengthening the project finance business unit and expanding our network of specialized external business partners
(design consultants, financial and insurance advisors, legal firms) to enhance the Group’s effectiveness in bidding for
concession projects and maximize the return from their operation by means of financial risk management.
• Business Activities
o Development along the lines of major international construction groups, diversifying revenue through expansion into
related business areas, e.g. environmental projects, facility maintenance & management, waste management,
maintenance of large infrastructure projects, as well as unrelated activities that offer satisfactory prospects, such as the
Auteco network for vehicle technical inspection.
• Energy
o Emphasis on industrial projects in the energy sector, for the construction of power generation and LNG plants,
specializing in EPC type projects (design and construction).
B. FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
B.1. Compliance with I.F.R.S.
91
AVAX S.A.’s consolidated accounts for the period running from January 1st, 2021 to December 31st, 2021 conform to the
International Financial Reporting Standards (I.F.R.S.) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (I.A.S.B.) and the
interpretations issued by IASB’s International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (I.F.R.I.C.) which have been adopted
by the European Union.
B.2. Basis of preparation of the financial statements
Consolidated and Company Financial Statements of AVAX S.A. have been prepared on a going concern basis and the historical
cost principle as amended by adjusting specific assets and liabilities to current values except for certain financial assets and
liabilities (including derivatives), valued at fair value.
The policies listed below have been consistently applied throughout the periods presented.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with I.F.R.S. requires the use of estimates and judgments when applying
the Company's accounting policies. Significant assumptions (C.23) by management for the application of the company's
accounting policies have been identified where appropriate.
C. BASIC ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The Group consistently applies the following accounting principles in preparing the attached Financial Statements:
C.1. Consolidated financial statements (I.F.R.S. 10) and Business Combinations (I.F.R.S. 3)
Investments in Subsidiaries
All companies managed and controlled, either directly or indirectly, by another company (parent) through ownership of a
majority share in the voting rights of the company in which the investment has been made. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated
(full consolidation) with the purchase method starting on the date on which their control is assumed, and are excluded from
consolidation as soon as their control is relinquished.
Acquisitions of subsidiaries by the Group are entered according to the purchase method. Subsidiary acquisition cost is the fair
value of all assets transferred, of all shares issued and all liabilities at the acquisition date, plus any costs directly related to the
transaction. The specific assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired through a business combination are accounted for
at their fair values irrespective of the percentage of participation. The acquisition cost in excess of the fair value of the acquired
net assets is entered as goodwill. Should the total acquisition cost fall short of the fair value of the acquired net assets, the
difference is directly entered in the Income Statement.
Intragroup sales, balances and un-realised profits from transactions among Group companies are omitted. Losses among Group
companies (un-realised on a Group level) are also eliminated, except when the transaction provides evidence of impairment of
the transferred asset. The accounting principles of subsidiaries have been amended for uniformity purposes relative to those
adopted by the Group.
At the Company’s balance sheet, investment in subsidiaries is stated at cost less loss from impairment, if any. IAS 36
“Impairment of Assets” requires an impairment test if there is any indication that an asset is impaired.
Investments in Associates (I.A.S. 28)
92
All companies which the Group may influence significantly but do not qualify for subsidiary or Joint Venture status. The Group’s
assumptions call for ownership between 20% and 50% of a company‘s voting rights to have significant influence on it.
Investments in associates are initially entered in the Company’s books at cost and subsequently consolidated using the equity
method.
The Group’s share into the profit or loss of associates following the acquisition is recognised into the Income Statement,
whereas the share into changes in capital reserves following the acquisition is recognised into the reserves. Accumulated
changes affect the book value of investments in associates. When the Group’s participation into the financial loss of an associate
is equal to or exceeds its participation in the associate, inclusive of provisions for bad debts, the Group does not recognise any
further losses, except when covering liabilities or making payments on behalf of the associate, or taking other actions as part of
its shareholder relationship.
Unrealised profits from transactions between the Group and its associates are omitted according to the participation of the
group into those associates. Unrealised gains are omitted, unless the transactions suggest impairment of the transferred assets.
Accounting principles of associates have been amended for uniformity purposes relative to those adopted by the Group.
Joint Arrangements (I.F.R.S. 11)
I.F.R.S. 11 focuses on the rights and obligations arising from the joint arrangements, rather than in their legal form.
A common agreement has the following basic features:
• The parties are bound by a contractual agreement
• The contractual agreement confers on two or more of the parties joint control
The IFRS classifies joint arrangements into two types—joint operations and joint ventures.
• A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint operators)
have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement.
• A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint venturers) have
rights to the net assets of the arrangement.
An entity determines the type of joint arrangement in which it is involved by considering its rights and obligations.
An entity assesses its rights and obligations by considering the structure and legal form of the arrangement, the contractual
terms agreed to by the parties to the arrangement and, when relevant, other facts and circumstances. Τhe factors that the
Group tests to determine that joint arrangements are under common control include the structure, legal form, contractual
arrangement and other facts and circumstances.
The IFRS requires to recognize and to account for a joint arrangement proportionate consolidation – the party’s share of assets,
liabilities, income and expenses of a jointly controlled entity was combined line-by-line with similar items in the companies’
financial statements.
Also, the party to a joint venture shall account for the above data relating to its participation in the joint venture under the
relevant IFRS.

For the fiscal years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 & 2020 the parent Company and its subsidiaries that are tax audited in
Greece have been subjected to tax auditing from an auditor in accordance with article 65A para 1 of Law 4174/2013 and have
received a “Tax Compliance Certification” with an unqualified opinion. It should also be noted that for fiscal years 2016 onwards,
tax audit and issuance of a Certificate of Tax Compliance by the statutory auditors are optional. The Group and the Company
have opted for continued audit by the statutory auditors.
For the fiscal year 2021, the parent Company and its subsidiaries that are tax audited in Greece have been subjected to tax
auditing from an auditor in accordance with article 65A para 1 of Law 4174/2013 as it is amended and still in force . This control
is in progress and the related tax certificate is projected to be provided after the publication of the financial statements of 2021.
The Group’s management believes that upon completion of the tax audit no additional tax liabilities will be occur that will have
substantial impact beyond those recognized and reported in the financial statements.
It is noted that in the fiscal year 2021 the company was audited by the Large Corporation Tax Bureau for the fiscal year 2015 and
the resulting tax differences burdened the results of the current fiscal year of the company and the Group.
The Group consolidates the following associates using the equity method:

C.2a. Property, Plant & Equipment (I.A.S. 16)
Group Management has utilised the basic valuation method (at acquisition cost, less accumulated amortisation and
impairments), as per IAS 16, for classifying operating fixed assets (Technical Equipment, Vehicles, Furniture and other
Equipment).
The revaluation method was chosen by management for classifying land and fixtures.
98
Revaluation Model
Upon recognition as an asset, a fixed asset whose fair value may be estimated reliably may be revalued, to reflect the fair value
at recognition date less any subsequent accumulated impairment of value.
The fair value of land and buildings is usually appraised by auditor-valuators. The fair value of equipment and fixtures is usually
their acquisition price.
When tangible fixed assets are revalued, the entire class of similar assets should be revalued. When the book value of a fixed
asset increases as a result of revaluation, the increase is credited directly into the Equity as a Revaluation Surplus. Increases in
value due to revaluation will be recognised through the Income Statement to the extend it reverses an earlier impairment of the
same asset, charged in the Income Statement.
Should the book value of an asset be reduced as a result of a revaluation, the decrease in value should be charged in the Income
Statement. If a revaluation surplus for that asset exists in Equity, the decrease will be charged directly into Equity up to the value
of that surplus. Revaluation surpluses in Equity are transferred to Retained Earnings as soon as the fixed assets are sold or
derecognized. Tax effects on the revaluation of tangible fixed assets are recognised and disclosed according to IAS 12 Income
Tax. The initial implementation of a tangible fixed asset revaluation policy is treated as a revaluation according to IAS 16, not IAS
8.
While applying I.A.S. 36 (on Impairment of Assets), on each reference date, Group management effectively estimates whether
its asset base shows signs of impairment, comparing the residual value for each asset against its book value.
Subsequent expenditure on fixed assets already appearing on the Company’s books are added to that asset’s book value only if
they increase its future economic benefits. All expenditure (maintenance, survey etc.) for assets not increasing their future
economic benefits are realised as expenses in the financial period incurred.
Expenditures incurred for a major repair or survey of a fixed asset are realised as expenses in the financial period in which they
are incurred, except when increasing the future economic benefits of the fixed asset, in which case they are added to the book
value of the asset.
Depreciation of tangible fixed assets (excluding land which is not depreciated) is calculated on a straight-line basis according to
their useful lives. The main depreciation rates are as follows:
Operating Property
(buildings)
3%
Machinery
5.3% - 20%
Vehicles
7.5% - 20%
Other equipment
15% - 20%
Residual values and useful lives of tangible fixed assets are subject to revision on balance sheet date. When the book value of
fixed tangibles exceeds their recoverable value, the difference (impairment loss) is directly charged as an expense item in the
Income Statement.
When disposing of tangible fixed assets, the difference between the revenue from the sale and the book value of the assets is
realised as profit or loss in the Income Statement.
99
Own-produced fixed tangibles constitute an addition to the acquisition cost of the assets in the form of direct cost of personnel
participating in their production (including related employer’s social security contributions), cost of materials and other general
expenses.
C.2b. Investment Property (IAS 40)
For investment property, management has opted to apply the method of revaluation (fair values), based on IAS 40.
Management believes that the use of fair values in appraising investment property provides reliable and more pertinent
information, because it is based on updated prices.
C.3. Intangible Assets (I.A.S. 38)
Only expenses meeting the criteria of I.A.S. 38.18 are capitalized, such as expenses for computer software and licenses.
Intangible assets includes computer licenses.
C.4. Impairment of Assets (I.A.S. 36)
i) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the additional price paid by the Group for the acquisition of new subsidiaries, joint ventures, and associates.
It arises from the comparison of the price paid for the acquisition of a new company with the proportion of the group share to
the fair value of the net assets, during the acquisition date. The arisen goodwill from the acquisition of the new subsidiaries and
joint ventures is recognized to intangible assets. Every year impairment test for the goodwill is conducted, which decreases the
original amount as it is recognized in the balance sheet. During the calculation of profit or loss arisen from participation disposal,
the relevant (if any) goodwill is taken under consideration of the disposed company.
For an easier processing of impairment tests, goodwill is allocated to Cash Generating Units (CGU’s). The CGU is the smallest
identifiable unit of assets which creates independent cash flows and represents the level at which the Group collects and
presents the financial data for reasons of internal information. The impairment for the goodwill, is determined from the
calculation of the recoverable amount of the CGU’s with which the goodwill is connected. Impairment loss which is related with
goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods. The Group conducts the annual test for goodwill impairment at 31 December of
each accounting period.
In case that the fair value of net assets of a company during the acquisition date is higher than the price paid for the acquisition,
negative goodwill is recognized (income), which goes directly in the Income Statement.
ii) Other Assets
Intangible assets with an infinite useful life are not depreciated and are subject to annual review for impairment, whenever
events take place showing their book value is not recoverable. Assets being depreciated are subject to review of their value
impairment when there are indications that their book value shall not be recovered.
Net Selling Price (NSP) is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable
willing parties, less the costs of disposal. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from
the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. At each balance sheet date, management assess
whether there is an indication of impairment as required by I.A.S. 36, requiring that the book value of assets does not exceed
their recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the highest between Net Selling Price and Value in Use.
100
This evaluation also takes into account all available information, either from internal or external sources. Impairment review is
applied on all assets except for inventories, construction contracts, deferred tax receivables, financial assets falling under I.F.R.S.
9, investment property and non-current assets classified as being held for disposal.
Impairment losses are charged in the Income Statement.
C.5. Inventories (I.A.S. 2)
On Balance Sheet date, inventories are valued at the lowest between cost and Net Realisable Value (NRV). NRV is the estimated
selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make
the sale. Inventory cost does not include financial expenses.
C.6. Financial Instruments: Presentation (I.A.S. 32)
The principles in this Standard complement the principles for recognising and measuring financial assets and financial liabilities
in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.
This Standard is concerned with the classification of financial instruments into financial assets, financial liabilities and equity
instruments, as well as the classification of related interest, dividends, losses and gains, and the circumstances in which financial
assets and financial liabilities should be offset.
A financial instrument is any contract that simultaneously gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or
equity instrument of another entity.
Participatory security is any contract that proves a right to the remaining balance, if from the assets of an entity are deducted its
liabilities.
Fair value defined the price that somebody would receive for the sale of an asset or that somebody would pay for the transfer of
an obligation to a normal transaction between market participants at the date of measurement.
C.7. Financial Instruments: Disclosures (I.F.R.S. 7)
I.F.R.S. 7 refers to all risks arising from all financial instruments, except those instruments specifically excluded (e.g. interests in
subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, etc.). The objective of the disclosures is to provide an overview of the Group’s use of
financial instruments and its exposure to risks they create. The extent of the disclosure required depends on the extent of the
Company’s use of financial instruments and its exposure to risk.
C.8. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (I.A.S. 37)
Provisions are recognized when the Group faces legal or substantiated liabilities resulting from past events, their settlement may
result in an outflow of resources and the amount of the liability can be reliably estimated. Provisions are reviewed on Balance
Sheet date and adjusted to reflect the present value of the expense estimated for settling the liability. Contingent liabilities are
not recognized in the financial statements but nevertheless are disclosed in the accompanying notes, except when the
probability of an outflow of resources is minimal. Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements, but are
disclosed in the notes, provided an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
C.9. Accounting for Government Grants and disclosure of Government Assistance (I.A.S. 20)
The Group recognizes government grants (subsidies) only when there is reasonable assurance that:
101
a) the enterprise will comply with any conditions attached to the grants,
b) the grant is likely to be received.
Subsidies are entered in the company’s books at their fair value and recognized on a consistent basis as revenue, in accordance
with the principle of matching the receipts of subsidies with the related expenses.
Subsidies on assets are included in long-term liabilities as deferred income and recognized on a consistent basis as revenues
over the expected useful life of the assets.
C.10. The effects of changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (I.A.S. 21)
The financial statements of all Group companies are prepared using the currency of the economic area which the Group mainly
operates in (operating currency). Consolidated financial reports are denominated in euros, the operating and presentation
currency of the parent Company and its subsidiaries.
Transactions in foreign currency are converted in the operating currency according to the going foreign exchange rates on the
date on which transactions take place.
Profit and losses from foreign exchange differences arising from settlement of transactions in foreign currency during the
financial reporting period and the conversion of monetary items denominated in foreign currency according to the going
exchange rates on balance sheet date are recognised in the Income Statement. Foreign exchange adjustments for non-monetary
items valued at fair value are considered part of the fair value and are therefore treated as differences in fair value.
C.11. Earnings per share (I.A.S. 33)
Expenses incurred due to the issue of new shares appear below the deduction of related income tax, reducing the net proceeds
from the issue. Expenses incurred due to the issue of new shares to finance the acquisition of another company are included in
the target company’s total acquisition cost.
C.12. Dividend Distribution (I.A.S. 10)
Dividend distribution to the parent's shareholders is recognized as a liability in the consolidated financial statements at the date
that the distribution is approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders.
C.13. Income Taxes & Deferred Tax (I.A.S. 12)
Income tax expenses appearing in the Income Statement include both tax for the period and deferred tax, which correspond to
tax charges or tax returns arising from benefits realized within the reporting period in question but booked by the tax authorities
in earlier or later reporting periods. Income tax is recognized in the Income Statement for the reporting period, except for tax
relating to transactions directly charged against shareholders’ funds; in that case, income tax is similarly charged directly against
shareholders’ funds.
Current income tax includes short-term liabilities and/or receivables from the tax authorities related to payable tax on the
taxable income of the reporting period, as well as any additional income tax from earlier reporting periods.
Current tax is calculated according to the tax rates and fiscal legislation applied on each reporting period involved, based on the
taxable income for the year. All changes in short-term tax items listed on either side of the balance sheet are recognized as part
of the tax expense in the Income Statement.
102
Deferred income tax is calculated by means of the liability arising from the temporary difference between book value and the
tax base of asset and liabilities. No deferred income tax is entered when arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities
in a transaction, excluding corporate mergers, which did not affect the reported or taxable profit / loss at that time.
Deferred tax income and liabilities are valued according to the tax rates expected to apply in the reporting period in which the
receipt or payment will be settled, taking into account the tax rates (and fiscal laws) introduced or in effect until the reporting
date. The tax rate in effect on the day following the reporting date is used whenever the timing of reversal of temporary
differences cannot be accurately determined.
Deferred tax receivables are recognized to the extent in which taxable profits will arise in the future while making use of the
temporary difference which gives rise to the deferred tax receivable.
Deferred income tax is recognized for the temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and affiliates, excluding
those cases where de-recognition of temporary differences is controlled by the Group and temporary differences are not
expected to be derecognized in the foreseeable future.
Most changes in deferred tax receivables or liabilities are recognised as tax expenses in the Income Statement. Only changes in
assets or liabilities affecting temporary differences (e.g. asset revaluations) which are recognized directly against the Group’s
shareholders’ funds do result in changes in deferred tax receivables or liabilities being charged against the relevant revaluation
reserve.
C.14. Personnel Benefits (I.A.S. 19)
Short-term benefits:
Short-term benefits to personnel (excluding termination benefits) in money and in kind are recognized as an expense when
deemed payable. Portions of the benefit yet unpaid are classified as a liability, whereas if the amount already paid exceeds the
benefit then the company recognizes the excess amount as an asset (prepaid expenses) only to the extent to which the
prepayment will result in a reduction in future payments or to a fund return.
Retirement benefits:
Benefits at retirement from service include a defined contribution plan as well as a defined benefit plan.
Defined Contribution Plan:
According to the plan, the company’s legal liability is limited to the amount agreed for contribution to the institution (social
security fund) managing employer contributions and handing out benefits (pensions, medical plans etc).
The accrued cost of defined contribution plans is classified as an expense in the corresponding financial reporting period.
Defined Benefit Plan:
The Company has legal liability for personnel benefits due to lay-offs ahead of retirement date or benefits upon retirement from
service, in accordance with pertinent legislation.
The Projected Unit Credit Method is used to calculate the present value of defined benefit obligations, the related current cost
of services and the cost of services rendered which is the accrued services method, according to which benefits are paid at the
financial periods in which the retirement benefit liability is founded. Liabilities arise while employees provide services qualifying
for retirement benefits.
The Projected Unit Credit Method therefore requires that benefits are paid in both the current reporting period (to calculate the
current cost of services) and in the current and past reporting periods (to calculate the present value of defined benefit
obligations).
Despite the fact that remaining in service with the Company is a prerequisite for receiving benefits (ie benefits cannot be taken
for granted by employees), liabilities are calculated using actuarial methods as follows:
103
Demographic Assumptions: Personnel Turnover (Staff Resignations / Staff Lay-offs), and
Financial Assumptions: discount rate, future salary levels (calculated using government bond yield of equal maturities) and
estimated future changes in state benefits affecting payable benefits.
The Group has not formally or unofficially activated any special benefit program for its employees, which program is committed
to benefits in case of departure of employees. The only program that is valid and has been activated in the past is the
contractual obligation to provide a lump sum according to 40% of the scale (based on the current legislation l.2112 / 20, l.3198 /
55 and l.4093 / 12).
Also, the Company is not bound, neither legally nor presumably, by the provision of labor law (paragraph (a) of article 8 of law
3198/55), on compensation of employees who leave voluntarily after completing 15 years of service. The company also intends
to maintain the aforementioned "non-commitment" regime towards employees in the future.
C.15. Leases (I.F.R.S. 16)
Leases are recognized in the Statement of Financial Position as a right to use an asset and a lease obligation on the date that the
leased asset becomes available for use. Each lease is divided between the lease liability and the interest, which is charged to the
results throughout the term of the lease, in order to obtain a fixed interest rate on the balance of the financial liability in each
period.
Subsequent measurement
Subsequent measurement of right of use asset
After the lease date commencement, the Group measures the right to use the asset in the cost model: (a) less any accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses, and (b) adjusted for any subsequent lease measurement, applies the requirements of IAS
16 regarding the depreciation of the right to use an asset, which it examines for impairment.
Subsequent measurement of the lease liability
Following the effective date of the lease period, the Group measures the lease liability as follows: (a) increasing the carrying
amount to reflect the financial cost of the lease; (b) reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease, and (c) remeasuring the
carrying amount to reflect any revaluation or modification of the lease. The financial cost of a lease liability is allocated during
the lease period in such a way as to give a fixed periodic rate of interest on the outstanding balance of the liability. After the
effective date of the lease period, the Group recognizes profit or loss (unless costs are included in the carrying amount of
another asset for which other relevant Standards are applied) and the following two elements: (a) the financial cost of the lease
obligation; and (b) variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of the lease liability during the period in
which the event that triggers those payments is made.
Sale and Leaseback
According to IFRS 16, the treatment of a sale and leaseback transaction depends on whether the transaction constitutes a sale of
the asset in accordance with IFRS 15 "Revenues from contracts with customers".
If the transaction constitutes a sale of the asset in accordance with IFRS 15, then:
• The company as a lessee recognizes a profit or loss from the transaction in proportion to the rights transferred to the
buyer,
• The company as a lessor applies the lessor's accounting based on the provisions of IFRS 16
104
If the fair value of the sale price of the asset is not equal to the fair value of the asset, then the company should make the
following adjustments:
• Any price lower than the market is considered as an advance on future lease payments
• Any price higher than the market is considered as additional financing from the buyer - lessee to the seller - lessor.
C.16. Borrowing Cost (I.A.S. 23)
Borrowing cost refers to interest charged on debt, as well as other expenses incurred by the company in securing that debt.
Included in borrowing costs are:
- Interest expenses on short-term and long-term bank loans, as well as overdraft interest charges
- Amortisation of par discount arising from bond loan issues
- Amortisation of additional expenses incurred in securing a loan
- Financial expenses from leases, as defined in I.F.R.S. 16
- Foreign exchange adjustments, to the extent that they constitute a financial expense
Borrowing costs that can be allocated directly in acquisition, construction or production of an asset which fulfils the
requirements should be capitalized.
C.17. Operating Segments (I.F.R.S. 8)
The Group recognizes the sectors of constructions, concessions, energy and other activities as its primary business operating
segments. It also recognizes Greece and international markets as its secondary operating geographic segments. Those operating
segments are used by Management for internal purposes and strategic decisions are taken on the basis of the adjusted
operating results of each segment, which are used to measure their performance.
C.18. Related Party Disclosures (I.A.S. 24)
Related party disclosures are governed by I.A.S. 24 and refer to transactions between a company reporting its financial
statements and other related parties. The main issue is the economic substance of transactions, as opposed to their legal form.
A company is considered a related party to a reporting company if:
a) It is directly or indirectly via intermediaries in control, or controlled by or under joint control of the reporting company
b) It controls an equity stake in the reporting company which grants substantial control, or joint control of the reporting
company
c) It is an associate, as defined in IAS 28
d) It is a joint venture, as defined in IFRS 11
e) It is a key member of the top management team (Board of Directors) of the reporting company or its parent firm
f) It is closely related family-wise to any person matching the first and fourth case noted above
g) It is a company controlled (or under joint control or under substantial influence) by a person matching the fourth and
fifth case noted above
h) It is has an employee defined benefit plan in place, where those eligible for receiving the benefits are either the
reporting company or the employees of the reporting company
Related party transaction is any transfer of resources, services or liabilities between related parties, irrespective of the payment
of a price in return.
105
C.19. Revenue from contracts with customers (I.F.R.S. 15)
The standard establishes a five-step model for determining revenue from customer contracts:
1. Identify the contract with the client.
2. Determination of enforcement obligations.
3. Determination of the transaction price.
4. Allocation of the transaction price to the contractual obligations.
5. Recognition of revenue when or when an entity fulfills its obligation to execute.
In accordance with IFRS 15, revenue is recognized at the amount that an entity expects to be entitled to in return for the
transfer of goods or services to a customer. The standard also specifies the accounting for the additional costs of obtaining a
contract and the direct costs required to complete the contract.
Revenue is the amount that an entity expects to be entitled to in return for the goods or services it has transferred to a
customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (value added tax, other sales taxes). Variable amounts are
included in the price and are calculated either by the "expected value" method or the "most probable amount" method.
An entity recognizes revenue when (or as it) satisfies a contractual obligation by transferring the goods or services promised to
the customer. The customer acquires control of the good or service if he is able to direct the use and derive substantially all the
financial benefits from that good or service. The control is transferred over a period or at a specific time.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when control of the good is transferred to the customer, usually upon delivery,
and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer's acceptance of the good.
Revenue from the provision of services is recognized in the accounting period in which the services are provided and measured
according to the nature of the services provided, using either out put methods or in put methods.
A customer's receivable is recognized when there is an unconditional right for the entity to receive the consideration for the
contractual obligations to the customer. A contractual asset is recognized when the Group and the Company have satisfied its
obligations to the customer before the customer pays or the payment becomes due, for example when the goods or services
are transferred to the customer prior to the Group's right to invoicing.
A contractual liability is recognized when the Company and the Group receive a payment from the customer (prepayment) or
when they retain a right that is unconditional (deferred income) before the performance of the contract obligations and the
transfer of the goods or services. The contractual liability is derecognised when the obligations of the contract are executed and
the income is recorded in the income statement.
The Group is active in the fields of Construction, Concessions, Energy Trading and Real Estate Investments. In the context of
assessing the impact of applying IFRS. 15, the Group divided its revenues into revenues from construction and maintenance
contracts, revenues from the sale of goods, revenues from electricity trading and other income.
Revenue from construction contracts and maintenance contracts
Contracts with customers of this category concern the construction or maintenance of public projects and private projects in
Greece and abroad.
106
Each construction contract contains a single performance obligation for the contractor. Even in the cases of contracts that
contain both the design and construction of a project, in substance the contractor’s obligation is to deliver one project, the
goods and services of which form individual components.
Contract revenue will continue to be accounted for over the time of the contract by using an estimation method similar to the
percentage of completion method. The completion stage is measured on the basis of the contractual costs incurred up to the
balance sheet date in relation to the total estimated cost of construction of each project.
IFRS 15 states that any variable consideration, i.e. claims for delay/acceleration costs, reward bonus, additional work, should
only be recognized as revenue if it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue
recognized will not occur in the future. In making this assessment, Management has to consider past experience adjusted to the
circumstances of the existing contracts. Additional claims and variation orders are included in contract revenue when it is
probable that they will be approved by the customer and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured.
Costs of Projects: Project costs include the following:
- Costs directly linked to this project,
- Costs attributable to the specific project and attributable to the project,
- Other costs charged to that particular customer in accordance with the terms of the contract.
In the second case, general construction costs are also included. These costs are allocated on an ongoing basis using reasonable
methods and bases that are consistently applied to all expenses with similar characteristics.
Indirect project costs include costs such as the preparation and processing of the payroll of construction sites, bank costs
directly related to the projects.
Costs that are not attributed or allocated to a project include sales expenses, research and development costs, general
administrative expenses and depreciation of machinery inactivity, which are not occupied in the specific project.
There are also contracts with clients for the maintenance of construction projects. Recognition of the revenue from these
contracts is made during the contract using the percentage cost-based approach.
C.20. Financial Instruments (I.F.R.S. 9)
Under I.F.R.S. 9, financial instruments are measured and classified at either fair value (fair value through profit or loss or fair
value through other comprehensive income) or amortized cost.
The classification is based on two criteria:
a) the business model for managing the assets and
b) whether the instruments’ contractual cash flows represent “solely payments of principal and interest” on the principal
amount outstanding (the ‘SPPI criterion’).
The classification of equity instruments is based on the business model for managing the investments concerned.
The Group and the Company measure financial assets initially at their fair value by adding transaction costs, and if a financial
asset is not measured at its fair value, it will be measured through profit or loss. Trade receivables are initially measured at the
transaction price.
Impairment
107
The Group and the Company recognize impairment provisions for expected credit losses for all financial assets. Expected credit
losses are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows and all cash flows that the Group and the Company
expects to receive. The difference is discounted using an estimate of the original effective interest rate of the financial asset. For
contractual assets, trade receivables and leases, the Group and the Company have applied the simplified approach to the
standard and have calculated the expected credit losses on the basis of the expected credit losses over the life of those assets.
Risk Hedging
The IFRS 9 enables entities to continue to apply the requirements of IAS 39 for hedge accounting. The Group and the Company
have chosen to continue to apply IAS 39 for the existing hedging relationship at the date of first application. Therefore, they will
continue to apply their present hedge accounting policy, although they will consider initiating the hedge accounting in
accordance with IFRS 9 requirements when a new hedging relationship arises.
Classification & measurement
A. Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets will be measured at amortized cost if they are held within a business model for the purpose of holding and
collecting the contractual cash flows that meet the SPPI criterion. Interest income of these items is included in financial income
and is recognized using the effective interest rate. Any gain or loss resulting from the write-off is recognized immediately in the
income statement.
Financial assets classified in this category mainly include the following assets:
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognized at their fair value and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective
interest method, unless the result of the discount is not material, less any impairment loss. Trade and other receivables also
include foreign exchange and receivables.
B. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Debt Securities
This category includes investments in Subordinated Debt, in concessions in the Group and the Company, which will be measured
at fair value through the statement of other comprehensive income if they are held as part of a business model whose objective
both the collection of cash flows and the sale of financial assets, and these contractual cash flows relate exclusively to capital
and interest payments. Changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income and upon their
recognition the accumulated profits or losses will be recycled to the income statement.
According to I.A.S. 32 «Financial Instruments: Presentation», when a financial instrument includes a contractual commitment to
deliver cash or other financial asset to another entity, then the financial instrument is classified as a debt security.
Furthermore, according to I.A.S. 32, there is the possibility of reclassifying a financial instrument from a participatory to debt
security due to changes in the substantive terms of the contract without changing the contractual terms.
Some concession contracts will be reclassified from participatory to debt securities in subsequent periods, due to a contractual
obligation of the Greek State for a total guaranteed return and payment of dividends.
Participatory Securities
108
This category includes equity investments mainly in concession companies that the Group and the Company intends to hold in
the foreseeable future and have decided to classify them in their initial recognition or transfer to the IFRS 9. Dividends from such
investments continue to be recognized in the income statement unless they represent a recovery of part of the cost of the
investment. Changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income and, upon their recognition,
accrued gains or losses will not be recycled to the income statement.
C. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss
In all other cases, the financial assets will be measured at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets measured at fair value
through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in
which they arise. Realized and unrealized gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets measured at
fair value through profit or loss are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
The Group and the Company do not have any assets in this category, however maintains the right, in the event of a change in
the business model, to reclassify financial assets from the category of amortized cost to the category of fair value through profit
and loss. In this case, any profit or loss resulting from the difference between the previous amortized cost of the financial asset
and the fair value is recognized in profit and loss (according to I.F.R.S. 9)
Furthermore, the Group and the Company maintains the right, in the event of a change in the business model, to reclassify
financial assets from the category of fair value through other comprehensive income to the category of fair value through profit
and loss. In this case, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the other comprehensive income is reclassified from
equity to profit and loss as adjusted from reclassification (according to IAS 1 and IFRS 9) on the date of reclassification.
C.21 Restricted Cash Deposits
Restricted cash are cash equivalents not readily available for use. These cash equivalents may not be used by the Group until a
certain point in time or an event is reached or occurs in the future. In the cases where restricted cash is expected to be used
within one year from the date of the statement of financial position, these are classified as a short-term asset. However, if they
are not expected to be used within one year from the date of the statement of financial position, they are classified as a long-
term asset.
C.22 Non-current assets held for sale & discontinued operations (I.F.R.S. 5)
The Group classifies a non-current asset or a disposal group (assets and liabilities that will be transferred to a single transaction)
as held for sale, if their value is expected to be recovered primarily through sale and not through their use.
The basic conditions for classifying a non-current asset or a disposal group as held for sale, are the asset or group to be available
for immediate sale in their present condition, and the completion of the sale depends only from conditions that are common
and typical for the sale of such items and the sale should be very likely.
In order for a sale to be considered very likely, it must be:
1. management has committed itself to the sale,
2. has started an active program to find a buyer and complete the program,
3. the non-current asset must be marketed for sale at a reasonable price in relation to the present fair value,
4. its sale must be considered complete within 12 months from the date of its classification as held for sale.
Assets held for sale and disposal groups are measured at the lowest value between the book value and the fair value deducted
the sale expenses. Also profit or loss from the sale of these items are recognized in the statement of income.
Immediately before the initial classification of the asset or the disposal group as held for sale, the asset (or all assets and
liabilities included in the group) are valued on the basis of the applicable IFRS.
109
Non-current assets (or disposal groups), that classified as held for sale are valued (after the initial classification as above) at the
lowest value between the value that appears to the financial statements and their fair value, reduced the direct selling
expenses, and the resulting impairment losses are recorded in the statement of income. Any possible increase in the fair value
in a subsequent valuation is recorded in the statement of income but not for an amount greater than the initial impairment loss.
From the date on which a non-current asset (or non-current assets which included in a disposal group) is classified as held for
sale, depreciation on such items is not considered.
[See note 25c Disposal Group Held for Sale]
C.23 Significant accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimations and judgments that affect the reported
disclosures. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, the most important of which are presented below.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including
expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These management’s estimation and
assumptions form the bases for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily available
from other sources. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates
and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
within the next financial year are discussed below.
C.23.1 Impairment of goodwill and other non-financial assets
Management tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in
paragraph C.4.i. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations.
These calculations require the use of estimates which mainly relate to future earnings and discount rates.
Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in paragraph C.6.
C.23.2 Income taxes
Group entities are subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the
worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is
uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts
that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such
determination is made.
C.23.3 Deferred tax assets
Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based
upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. Further details on taxes
are disclosed in note 17.
C.23.4 Asset lives and residual values
Property, plant and equipment (PPE) are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The actual lives of the assets are assessed
annually and may vary depending on a number of factors.
C.23.5 Allowance for net realizable value of inventory
110
The allowance for net realizable value of inventory, in accordance with the accounting policy as stated in paragraph C.5,
represents management’s best estimate, based on historic sales trends and its assessment on quality and volume, of the extent
to which the stock on hand at the reporting date will be sold below cost.
C.23.6 Allowance for doubtful accounts receivable
The Group’s management periodically reassess the adequately of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable using
parameters such as its credit policy, reports from its legal counsel on recent developments of the cases they are handling, and its
judgment/estimate about the impact of other factors affecting the recoverability of the receivables.
C.23.7 Provision for staff leaving indemnities
The cost for the staff leaving indemnities is determined based on actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuation requires
management making assumptions about future salary increases, discount rates, mortality rates, etc. Management, at each
reporting date when the provision is re-examined, tries to give its best estimate regarding the above mentioned parameters.
[See note 27 Provisions for retirement benefits]
C.23.8 Contingent liabilities
The existence of contingent liabilities requires from management making assumptions and estimates continuously related to the
possibility that future events may or may not occur as well as the effects that those events may have on the activities of the
Group.
C.23.9 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (I.F.R.S. 15)
Whenever the financial result of a contract may be estimated with reliability, the income and expenses of the contract are
recognized during the life of the contract respectively as income and expenses. Income is only recognized to the extent that the
cost arising from the contract may be recovered, while that cost is recognized as an expense in the period in which it arose.
C.23.10 Joint Arrangements (I.F.R.S. 11)
The factors examined by the Group to assess whether a company is a joint arrangement, include the structure, the legal form,
the contractual agreement and other facts and conditions.
C.23.11 Fair Value measurement (I.F.R.S. 13)
A number of assets and liabilities included in the Group’s financial statements require measurement at, and / or disclosure of,
fair value. The Group measures a number of items at fair value:
* Tangible Fixed Assets & Property for Investment
* Financial Assets available for Sale
* Long-Term and Short-Term Loans
* Derivative Financial Instruments
C.23.12 Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
Group Companies consider, as applicable, entering into derivative financial instrument contracts with the aim of hedging their
exposure to interest rate risk deriving from long-term loan agreements. The Group documents at the inception of the
transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and
111
strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. This procedure includes linking all derivatives defined as hedging
instruments to specific asset and liability items or to specific commitments or forecast transactions. The Group also documents
its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging
transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. Any changes in the value of
the derivative that does not meet the recognition criteria as a hedging instrument are recognized in the income statement. The
estimated fair value is calculated on the basis of current prices. The total fair value of hedging derivatives is classified as equity.
Cash flow hedge
Derivative assets are initially recognized at fair value as of the date of the relevant agreement. The portion of change to the
derivative’s fair value considered effective and meeting the cash flow hedging criteria is recognized in other comprehensive
income. Profit or loss associated with the non-effective portion of change is directly recognized in the Income Statement, under
“Finance income” or “Finance cost”. Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the
hedged item affects the profit or loss of the period. Profit or loss associated with the effective portion of the hedging of floating
interest rate swaps is recognized in the Income Statement under “Finance income” or “Finance cost”. However, when a
prospective transaction to be hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset (such as inventory or PPE), then profit or
losses previously recognized in equity are transferred from Equity and are accounted for at the initial cost of such asset. The
deferred amounts are ultimately recognized in cost of goods sold in the case of inventory or in depreciation in the case of fixed
assets. When a hedging instrument expires or it is sold, or when a hedging relation no longer meets the criteria of hedge
accounting, the cumulative profit or loss recorded to that time under Equity remain in Equity and are recognized when the
prospective transaction is ultimately recognized in the Income Statement. When a prospective transaction is no longer expected
to occur, the cumulative profit or loss recognized in Equity is directly transferred to the Income Statement under “Other
operating profit/(loss)”.
D. NEW STANDARDS, INTERPRETATIONS AND AMENDMENT OF CURRENT STANDARDS
Significant Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out in note C. The
policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in €, which is also the Company’s & the Group’s functional currency.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and International
Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and Interpretations (collectively IFRSs).
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with adopted IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting
estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas
where significant judgments and estimates have been made in preparing the financial statements and their effect are disclosed
in note C.23.

New and amended standards and Interpretations issued by the IASB did not impact the Group as they are either not relevant to
the Group’s activities or require accounting which is consistent with the Group’s current accounting policies.
In addition to the above pronouncements, the IFRS Interpretations Committee has issued a number of agenda decisions which
set out the Interpretations Committee’s rationale on how the requirements of applicable IFRSs should be applied.
Accounting Standard
Topic
IAS 19 Employee Benefits
Attributing Benefit to Periods of Service
The application of the agenda decision relating to IAS 19 resulted in changes in the accounting policies applied by the Group.
Details of the impact this amendment has had are given below.
IAS 19 Employee Benefits - Attributing Benefit to Periods of Service
The IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) has issued, in May 2021, a tentative decision “Attributing Benefit to Periods of
Service (IAS 19 Employee Benefits)” where additional explanatory application guidance is provided on the method used to
attribute employee benefits on specific defined benefit schemes with similar characteristics of the scheme contemplated in
article 8 of legislation Ν.3198/1955 which refers to staff retirement indemnity.
The application guidance modifies the method currently used in Greece to apply the basic principles of IAS 19 and as a result,
entities which prepare IFRS financial statements are required to change their accounting policy accordingly.
Any changes are presented as a change in accounting policy and applied retrospectively in the annual financial statements for
the year ending 31 December 2021, adjusting comparatives balances for 2020 and the opening balance of reserves for amounts
relating to previous periods, as if the new policy had always been applied.
The effect of applying the practical expedient is disclosed in the tables below:

The Company and the Group is currently assessing the impact of these new accounting standards and amendments.
The Company and the Group does not believe these standards and interpretations will have a material impact on the financial
statements once adopted.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
There were no significant changes in the nature and amount of assumptions and estimates used in previous periods.
However, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to sources of uncertainty, and concerns important estimates regarding:
1. Assessing whether the conditions for recognizing government grants are met
2. Determining the net realizable value of stocks which may be slow-moving or impaired due to the pandemic
3. The calculation of the recoverable amount of cash-generating units and any goodwill for which there is evidence of
impairment due to the pandemic
4. Assessing whether information available after the end of the period and until the publication of the financial
statements constitutes adjusting or non-adjusting events
5. Estimates regarding impairment of receivables from customers and the effect on the calculation of expected credit
losses
6. The methodology used for the valuation at fair value, investments for which level 3 variables are used in accordance
with IFRS 13.

15c. Net Investment in Concession Companies subscribed in the form of Last Priority Financial Assets (Subordinated Debt)
The group participates in some Concession Companies, in two ways: i) participation in the form of Share Capital, and ii) participation in the form of Financial Assets
of Last Priority (Subordinated Debt), which are issued by the Concession Companies.
The FA's LP are classified and accounted for according to IAS 39, as Available-for-Sale Financial Assets (Net investment to Concession Companies). The FA's LP along
with the participation in the Share Capital of the Concession Company, are measured to Fair Value (method of Present Value). The difference between the cost and fair
value is recognized directly to Other Comprehensive Income (namely, to Equity).
The main characteristics of the above Last Priority FA's are the following:
a) The participation in the form of FA's LP is issued contractually with specific and fixed analogy to the Share Capital (pro rata),
b) The subscription of FA's LP is maintained steadily throughout the lifetime of the concession proportionally to the participation in the Share Capital,
c) The transfer of the FA's LP contractually is carrying out along with the corresponding transfer of an equal percentage of Share Capital,
e) The FA's are of Last Priority; they have last priority against all other claims of the Assets of the Concession Company in case of liquidation (subordinated debt - last
in line). They are treated as equity equivalent to the Share Capital, bearing the same risk,
1) Aegean Motorway
(Participation > 20%)
2) Olympia Odos
(Participation < 20%)
d) The FA's LP do not contractually have a fixed terminated date, and the Group cannot demand for their future repayment,
f) The capital structure of the Concession Companies Equity, contractually does not distinguish the subscription in the form of Share Capital with the subscription in
the form of the FA's LP (equity equivalent).
The following table provides analytically the financial data of the Concessions Companies, whereas the Company participates both to Share Capital and to Last
Priorities FA's.

2) Contract Cost to complete the contract
According to the Budgetary Control System applied by the Group, revisions and re-evaluations are carried out on a semi-annual basis.
Revenues and expenses relating to each construction contract are recognised in the income statement, depending on the percentage of
completion on reporting date. Expenses which have incurred but the relative construction work has not yet been invoiced to clients and are
recognised in the income statement, along with the proportional profit or loss provided for in the contract. According to GR GAAP, these
expenses were recognised as work in progress, and their relative profit or loss was instead recognised in the reporting period in which the
works were invoiced rather than carried out. Moreover, for any project with an estimated loss, that loss is recognised immediatelly in the
income statement.
The Group uses the Percentage of Completion Method, whereby the percentage of completion is calculated using the following ratio: Realised
Cost / Total Estimated Contract Cost
The Group uses an integrated Management Information System which produces the following information to draw consistent and reliable
estimates of the percentage of completion of contracts:
1) Total Revised Contract Revenue

Therefore the Group and the Company will continue bidding for state projects taking into account of course the possibility of delays in receipt.
The Account Receivables balance of the Company and the Group include a revised amount of € 22.8 million which is overdue for more than four years.
This amount is part of an invoice from a total claim for which an application for Arbitration has been submitted to the International Center for the
Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID)and is related to a technical contract in Lebanon. The application is suspended until 31.05.2020 in the
context of ongoing negotiations. While the effort of a friendly settlement of the dispute continues, the company decided to resume the suspended
arbitration before ICSID. The Company finally submitted its first full memorandum (Claimant's Memorandum) to the Arbitration Court on 22 June
2020. On 23/6/2021 the State of Lebanon submitted its detailed memorandum and on 6/8/2021, the two parties submitted simultaneous requests
submission of documents. On 14/2/2022 the company submitted its response to the memorandum of the Lebanese state and refuted the expert report
submitted by Lebanon. The last written submission on behalf of Lebanon is expected on 12/7/2022.
Based on these data, the assessment of the recoverability of the claim as at 31/12/2021 was further limited to the amount stated above.

21c. Other Debtors / Ongoing litigation
c. The Company's lawsuit against PPC for a project in Atherinolakko, Crete was accepted for an amount of €4,757,158 plus interest, which are
calculated from December 2009 and already amount to €5,400,000. PPC filed an appeal that will be tried in November 2022.
b. Appeal of the ATHENS - MICHANIKI J/V (now AVAX SA after the replacement of MICHANIKIS SA by AVAX SA) against the Greek State for the project
"Extension of the PATHE axis in the section Skarfia - Lamia - Raches The appeal was discussed on 7.5.2014 and a decision was issued (sub-number
3329/2014) accepting the appeal in the amount of € 22,291,987 plus VAT. The decision of the Court of Appeal was reversed by the Court of Appeal
in favor of the State for lack of reasoning and was referred to the Administrative Court of Appeal of Piraeus, which on 14.1.2021 rejected the appeal
with decision 466/2021. According to the lawyers, the appeal is sufficiently supported, although in any case the outcome of the case is subject to a
judicial decision and a decision of the competent courts. The Company wrote off an amount of €22.3 million from the receivables from contractual
assets (construction contracts), which had not been invoiced, following legal developments in the process of a previous consortium appeal against
the Greek State for the project "Extension of the PATHE axis in the Skarfia section -Lamia-Raches”. This impacted turnover by €22.3 million and the
net result by €19.1 million. This amount is not taken into account in the calculation of EBITDA, because it is not a write-off of invoiced receivables.
a. In the pending court case against construction company "Technical Union", and regarding the arbitration decision #21/2005 which ordered
technical union to pay to the Company €16.3 million plus interest, for a deficit in the net position of Technical Union which was absorbed by the
Company, there are pending acts of the executive process with auctions or confiscation of assets owned by the family of the former shareholders of
Technical Union for collection of the claim. Following the death of the owner of Technical Union, the progress of the execution is frozen until the
identity of his heirs emerges.

2016 onwards, the tax audit and the issuance of a Certificate of Tax Compliance by the Statutory Auditors, are valid on an
optional basis. The Group and the Company chose to continue the tax audit by the Certified Public Accountants.
For fiscal year 2021, the tax compliance audit is already being performed by the statutory auditors for the Group's
companies and is expected to conclude after the publication of the year end 2021 financial statements. The Group’s
management believes that it is not expected to bring any significant differentiation on the tax liabilities incorporated in
the financial statements.
The tax rate of the Company according to art. 58 Law 4172/2013, as amended by art. 120 of Law 4799/2021 (Government
Gazette AD78 / 18.05.2021) and is valid, amounts to 22%.

Discontinued Operations and disposal group assets/liabilities held for sale
The Group has been facing serious challenges since 2020, such as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and most recently the effects of the
war in Ukraine.
Specifically, there was a) decrease in activity in 2020, mainly from the domestic market given the difficulty in the execution of projects, b)
decline in concession revenues (there was a recovery in 2021, but not a full return to 2019 levels) and c) significant delay in bidding and
undertaking of new projects.
The effects of the recent aggravation of the pandemic and the war are reflected in the significant increases in raw materials and fuels, the
significant delays in the delivery of materials and the uncontrolled rise in electricity market prices.
Given the ongoing tenders for concession and PPP projects and the tenders that have been completed within 2022 (and the projects are
expected to start at the beginning of 2023), the Group in late 2021 revised its strategic plan, including the VOLTERRA Group in the
participations for divestment.
The uncontrollable, frightening increases in gas prices have resulted in a significant increase in the clearing price of the market. Adherence to
the supply code had the effect of delaying the harmonization of customers' charges, causing significant losses to the Group. The large
increase in VOLTERRA customers and the significant increase in market prices resulted in an increased need in the required working capital
respectively ,to a level that the company itself (VOLTERRA) could not manage and needed significant support from the parent company AVAX.
In view of the above, AVAX proceeded with a decision on the one hand to divest from electricity and on the other hand to enhance its liquidity,
to divest the entire VOLTERRA Group, thus including the profitable Renewable Energy Sources of its VOLTERRA subsidiaries.
To this end, it entered into a contract with a financial advisor to find a buyer for the entire VOLTERRA Group, or separately buyers for the
company's energy sector and buyers for its Renewable Energy Sources. For the time being, there is no aggrement or conclusion of negotiations
regarding the transfer or partial sale of Volterra.
In any case, the intention of the Management is that the sale price represents the fair value of the VOLTERRA Group and considers any offers
that are made from potential buyers.
Therefore, in the Consolidated Financial Statements of 31/12/21, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS5), the
VOLTERRA Group (which includes the production of energy from RES projects and energy trading), was categorized as "Discontinued Activity".
In accordance with IFRS 5, the assets and liabilities of the disposal team are recorded at book value, as it is the lower of fair value and
accounting. International Accounting Standards (IFRS 5) generally provide a period of 12 months to complete the sale.
At the same time, it presents separately the result from the discontinued activity in the consolidated income statement of the Group as

According to the Greek legislation, employees are entitled to compensation in the event of dismissal or retirement, depending on the employee's salary, years of service and
the manner of departure (dismissal or retirement). Employees who resign or are reasonably dismissed are not entitled to compensation. In Greece, retired employees are
entitled to 40% of the compensation according to Law 2112/1920. The specific programs are defined benefit programs in accordance with IAS. 19.
The estimates for the defined benefit obligations of the Group in accordance with IAS. 19 was calculated by an independent actuaries company. The movement of the net
liability in the Statement of Financial Position, after the adoption of the revised IAS. 19, is as follows:
The table below outlines where the Company’s retirement benefit amounts are included in the financial statements . The DBO plan was carried out by an independent
employee benefits consulting company.
The number of employees on 31/12/2021 in the Group was 2.441 people (compared to 2.186 on 31/12/2020) and at company level amounts to 2.027 (compared to 1.680 on
31/12/2020). The number of employed personnel does not include the staff of the Joint Ventures in which the Group and the Company participate.
The comparative figures for the year 2020 have been revised by the change brought about by the change in the accounting policy of IAS 19

provision was made for the Group. It is our view that any claims collected following a Court Order will not change appreciably the
Groups Equity.
When additional information becomes available, the Group's Management reviews the potential or probable liabilities for
outstanding claims and legal affairs and may revise the estimates. Such revisions may have a material effect on the Group's
financial position and results.
On a periodic basis, the Group's Management examines the stage atwhich each significant matter occurs and evaluates the potential
economic risk based on the views of its legal advisers. If the potential loss from any claims and legal claims is considered probable
and the relevant amount can be reliably estimated, the Group's Management recognizes a provision for the estimated loss. The
management's judgment is required to a significant extent both to determine the probability and the extent to which the risk can be
reliably estimated.
There are pending court cases and arbitrations on contractual disputes and other issues against the Group's companies. To cover
potential losses from pending litigation has formed a provision of € 5.968 thousand, of which € 5,540 thousand relates to previous
years and € 428 thousand relates to the current year.

The Cash Flow Hedging regards the following self-financed projects:
The Group uses complex financial products on a case by case basis in cooperation with the banking sector in order to offset the cash
flow mainly to specific investments in self-financed projects. The part of the high effectively cash flow hedge of these investments is
recognised directly in equity through the statement of changes in the Equity of the concession companies, in accordance with the
International Accounting Standards. The ineffective portion of profit or loss is recognised directly in the income statement of the
companies. Therefore, in the consolidated financial statements, the Group records its share, respectively, of how it is recorded in
associates in accordance with International Accounting Standard 28.

37. Joint Venture Projects with J&P (Overseas) Ltd
1a. Roadworks in Qatar
1β. Qatar Foundation Stadium
2.Jordan
The Group fully consolidated, for the first time the activities in Qatar, through the consolidation of AVAX ME in the financial statements on
30.06.2019, as it essentially replaced the J&P (Overseas) Ltd group, which had already been liquidated, in order to ensure the completion of local
projects, with the main one being the Qatar Foundation Stadium, which will host the 2022 World Cup.
On 11.10.2018, itwas announced that international contractor J&P (Overseas) Limited, incorporated in Guernsey, filed for liquidation to address the
deficits and liquidity problems itfaced. Given that the Company participated in four joint venture projects with J&P (Overseas) Limited in Jordan and
Qatar, it was necessary to review the respective contracts with the clients and banks involved in these projects. The Company made, and still does,
every effort to continue and complete these projects (except the two in QATAR that have already been completed) in the most technically perfect way,
to ensure the Company’s future presence in the construction market of the wider Arab world as well as its access to the local banking system.
A detailed report on this matter may be found in the Report of the Board of Directors for the Annual Financial Report 2018, under the “Important post
balance sheet date Developments & Events” section.
More specifically, the status of each project is as follows:
The projects have been completed
With this agreement, AVAX SA fully undertakes the continuation of the project as well as the purchase of the used fixed assets of J&P Overseas Ltd
(office space, and limited mechanical equipment employed exclusively by the project in question), according to the assessment of an AVAX appraiser
and the liquidator of J&P (Overseas) Ltd). There is a delay in the signing of the contact between Liquidators, Banks and the Concession's financing
bank due to the fact that ARAB BANK that has issued the Letters of Credit of the initial project contract (that has been completed and it is in the defect
liability period) must agree. This is AVAX responsibility that executes the extention of the contract and there is no anticipation of the Letters of Credit
to be called and therefore any loss for the Bank due to the project.
The involvement came from the transfer of the share revenue of J&P (Overseas) Ltd to ARAB Bank. Nevertheless, the final agreement for the provision of
consent by ARAB Bank has been reached. Then due to the fact that the liquidators asked for the Novation Agreement to be signed by the Developer as
well, the Developer announced that he did not receive the approval from the lenders of the concession project. Therefore, the Novation Agreement was
not signed but the project is executed regularly and we also receive payments from the client.
Bank guarantees for advance payment & for good execution of the project, for a total value of € 12.40 million, have been issued by our Company
alone , and the deposit guarantee of € 9.3 million has been returned. The performance guarantee has been reduced to € 3.6 million.
The project has been completed and is in the maintenance stage which ends in August 2022.
The QFS project was carried out on a joint venture between the Company and former subsidiaries of J&P (Overseas) Ltd, which came under the control
of AVAX ME. The Company indirectly increased its participation in the execution of the project. The remaining projects were acquired through the
acquisition that involved large-scale E / M subcontracting for third party clients in Qatar.
During the consolidation process, significant loan liabilities and outstanding project balances were initially identified. However, the course of the
liquidation of J&P (Overseas) Ltd made difficult the financial position of the Group. A relevant report has been made in the Company's Prospectus on
20.01.2020, where it was recorded that the inability to collect receivables from projects totaling approximately $ 140m. created conditions of
temporary cash constraints for which the Company was considering since the end of 2019 various possible actions, including discussions with the
local partner Fahad Trading W.L.L. (who owned 51%), for a full acquisition of these companies.
Eventually, due to the continuous deterioration of cash liquidity, the Company proceeded to this solution, ie it decided to sell these companies to the
local partner with whom a draft contract of sale was made. Specifically, according to the draft contract of sale, the Group of companies of AVAX SA.
will have to pay a compensation for the sale to the local partner of € 29.4m. (QAR 120m.), for which a provision has already been made in the
Financial Statements of 31.12.2019 and it will be settled with a payment of € 21.0m. from AVAX SA, while the remaining amount of € 8.4m. will be
given by AVAX S.A. for the share Capital increase of "AVAX INTERNATIONAL LIMITED" (100% subsidiary of AVAX SA), which will be a sale compensation
for the sale of AVAX ME subsidiaries in Qatar.
The local partner Fahad Trading WLL, has essentially taken over the management of the projects in question since the beginning of 2020, has full and
exclusive communication with the banks, the communication with the customers and the receipts and payments of the project. As a result, the
companies Conspel Qatar WLL and J&P Qatar WLL as well as the project 'Education City Stadium' (24% belongs to AVAX SA) are not included in the
financial statements of the Group.
The aforementioned companies and their projects under management (including the Education City Stadium in which AVAX participated by 24%) are
included in the sale agreement between the AVAX Group and the local partner. This sale agreement, where the QAR 120 million (approximately € 29.4
million) payment has been finalised, ithas not been signed yet.The reasons for the delay were the issues relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic and also
that the Arab Bank, which financed the projects of Conspel Qatar WLL, was in negotiations with the local partner as it had to sign the agreement.
Eventually, an agreement has been reached between them and the process is in the phase of exchanging draft agreements between the parties
involved, until a final draft is accepted by both parties. Part of the agreement is a letter from QNB Bank, which finances the QFS project and to which
bank the corporate guarantee of AVAX has been given for 25% of the consortium's liabilities to the bank.
The relevant letter states that upon completion of the terms of the agreement (the QAR 120m payment plan from AVAX), all of AVAX's liabilities under
its corporate guarantee are transferred to the local partner. In any case, given that the project of ‘Education City Stadium’ is practically completed, we
estimate that the provisions of € 29.4 million are sufficient to cover any losses that may arise in the event of non-implementation of the sale
agreement.
This project regards the upgrade of the baggage management system in Queen Alia International Airport (Amman), and is an extension of an earlier
contract signed by the local government to build a modern airport. The contract was signed on 12.04.2018 representing a value of € 24.8 million for
our Company, which corresponds to a 50% participation.

Fair Value Hierarchy
The administration estimated that the cash and short-term deposits, customers, suppliers and other current liabilities approximate their carrying
value, primarily because of their short maturities.
Below is a comparison by category of the accounting and fair values of assets and liabilities of the Group and the Company, which are presented in
the statement of financial position as at 31 December
The financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (Long-term and Other Financial Assets - Long-term) of level 3 relate mainly to
investments in concession companies. The valuation of the most important concession companies was carried out by independent appraisers. They
were based on data from financial models, approved by concession companies and financing banks. The discount rate for 31/12/2021 ranges
between 6.5% and 8.1%, in proportion to the stage of completion and the degree of maturity of each concession project, and in proportion to the total
risk assessed in Greece and abroad.
For financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, the estimate is made at current prices because they are listed and traded on
regulated stock markets in Greece and abroad.
Long-term and short-term borrowing is assessed by the Group and the Company based on parameters such as interest rates, specific country risk
factors or current prices at the date of preparation of the financial statements.
The Group and the Company use the following hierarchy to define and disclose the fair value of receivables and payables per valuation method:
Level 1: based on negotiable (non-adjusted) prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities
Level 2: based on valuation techniques for which all data with substantial effect on the fair value are visible, either directly or indirectly, while also
including valuation techniques with negotiable prices at less active markets for similar or equivalent assets or liabilities
Level 3: based on valuation techniques utilising data with substantial effect on fair value, as opposed to apparent market data
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is the value at which an asset or liability could be traded in a current transaction between
consenting parties, differing from the price of a forced liquidation or sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to calculate the fair
values:
For 2021, and property for investment and for own use (property / buildings) in their majority were valued by independent auditors. The method used
for the valuation is market value.
153
39. Risk Management
The Group is exposed through its operations to the following financial risks:
- Credit risk
- Market risk
- Interest rate risk
- Foreign exchange risk
- Other market price risk, and
- Liquidity risk.
In common with all other businesses, the Group is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This
note describes the Group's objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure
them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements.
There have been no substantive changes in the Group's exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and
processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous year unless otherwise stated in
this note.
(i) Principal financial instruments
The principal financial instruments used by the Group, from which financial instrument risk arises, are as follows:
- Trade receivables
- Cash and cash equivalents
- Investments in quoted and unquoted equity securities
- Trade and other payables
- Bank overdrafts
- Floating-rate bank loans
- Fixed rate bank loans, and
- Interest rate swaps.
(ii) Financial instruments by category
Financial assets and liabilities by category please refer to note 38.
(iii) Financial instruments not measured at fair value
Financial instruments not measured at fair value include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade
and other payables, and loans and borrowings.
Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and
other payables approximates their fair value.
154
(iv) Financial instruments measured at fair value
The fair value hierarchy of financial instruments measured at fair value is provided in note 38. There were no transfers
between levels during the period. There were no changes to the valuation techniques during the period.
For the reconciliation of the opening and closing fair value balance of level 3 financial assets, and for the sensitivity
analysis of a reasonable change of the discount factor (±1%) used for the measurement of the fair value of level 3
financial instruments, please refer to note 15.
General objectives, policies and processes
The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group's risk management objectives and policies and,
whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes
that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and the policies to the Risk Management Committee. The Board
receives monthly and quarterly reports through which it reviews and controls the effectiveness of the processes put in
place and the appropriateness and the management of the objectives and policies it sets. The Group's internal auditors
also review the risk management policies and processes and report their findings to the Audit Committee.
The overall objective of the Board through the Risk Management committee is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as
far as possible without unduly affecting the Group's competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these
policies are set out below:
Credit risk
The Risk Management Committee has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually
for creditworthiness before the Group's standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. As far as public
works are concerned, the Group’s policy is to participate only in tenders where the financing is secured by the EEC funds.
Cash in bank and short-term deposits
The Risk Management Committee through the Finance Function monitors the credit ratings of counterparties regularly and at
the reporting date does not expect any losses from non-performance by the counterparties.
Market risk
Market risk arises from the group’s use of interest bearing, tradable and foreign currency financial instruments. It is the
risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates
(interest rate risk), foreign exchange (currency risk) or other market factors (other price risk).
Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk from long-term borrowings atvariable rate (Euribor interest rate). For sensitivity
analysis in a reasonable change (+1%) in the interest rate on loans, see note 25.
Foreign exchange risk
Please refer to note 9c.
Other market price risk
The group holds some strategic investments abroad through branches, or strategic equity investments in other companies
abroad for the purpose to expand its operations and diversify the relevant risks. The risk management committee believes
that the above exposure is acceptable in the group’s circumstances.
Liquidity risk
The Group's policy is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become
due. To achieve this aim, it seeks to maintain cash balances (or agreed facilities) to meet expected requirements
analytically for a period of a month. The Board receives a 12-month cash flow projection on a monthly basis, prepared by
the Finance Division which also prepares summarised 5-year budgets and cash flows which are updated on a quarterly
basis.

Athens Metro, while several other contracts involved the construction of gas networks in various cities of the country, and
other private and public projects.
Athens Marina lease change
Through litigation, the Company achieved the reduction of the annual lease of Athens Marina (99.84% participation), from €3
million to €2 million, reducing the long-term leasing liabilities by €13 million due to the reduction of the present value of
lease payments, in accordance with IFRS 16.
ESG committee/Sustainable development
The Company set up an ESG / Sustainable Development Committee, in order to have a systematic and in-depth approach to the
issue of sustainable development, and to improve the socio-economic footprint caused to the economy and society by direct,
indirect and induced actions and its construction projects. The executives that make up the committee come from the
departments of QSHE & Sustainability, Procurement, Human Resources, Investor Relations, Internal Audit, Corporate
Communication and from the departments of Management, Banking Relations, and Risk Management of Group Management.
Litigation Issues
a. In the pending court case against construction company "Technical Union", and regarding the arbitration decision
#21/2005 which ordered technical union to pay to the Company €16.3 million plus interest, for a deficit in the net position of
Technical Union which was absorbed by the Company, there are pending acts of the executive process with auctions or
confiscation of assets owned by the family of the former shareholders of Technical Union for collection of the claim. Following
the death of the owner of Technical Union, the progress of the execution is frozen until the identity of his heirs emerges.
b. The Company wrote off an amount of €22.3 million from the receivables from contractual assets (construction contracts),
which had not been invoiced, following legal developments in the process of a previous consortium appeal against the Greek
State for the project "Extension of the PATHE axis in the Skarfia section -Lamia-Raches”. This impacted turnover by €22.3
million and the net result by €19.1 million. This amount is not taken into account in the calculation of EBITDA, because itis
not a write-off of invoiced receivables.
c. The Company's lawsuit against PPC for a project in Atherinolakkos, Crete was accepted for an amount of €4,757,158 plus
interest, which are calculated from December 2009 and already amount to €5,400,000. PPC filed an appeal that will be tried in
November 2022.
Effect of covid-19 pandemic
The Greek economy returned to a growth trajectory in 2021 after the crisis of the Covid-19 pandemic. According to EUROSTAT
estimates, Greece's economic activity for 2021 recorded an increase of 8.3% in GDP compared to 2020, while the production
index in construction showed an improvement of 6% compared to the previous year, according to Greek Statistics Authority.
The easing in restrictive measures due to the extensive vaccination has positively affected the Greek Economy and
consequently the activities of the Group.
In Concessions, the gradual abolition of travel restrictions increased traffic by 15% in 2021 compared to the previous year.
The largest increases were observed in Egnatia Highway and the Athens Ring Road, by 22% and 17% respectively. Consequently,
there was a corresponding increase in revenue. Also, the fair value reserve of participations increased by €27.5 million for the
company and €29.6 million for the Group. However, they have not yet returned to pre-covid levels in 2019. Due to the
normalisation of activities along with the cash and reserve accounts maintained by the projects, the loan obligations are
expected to be serviced within the stipulated time frame. Due to the covid-19 pandemic, the dividends received by the Group
from their participations in road concessions in 2021 (which related to profits of 2020), are reduced by approximately €20
million compared to 2020 (which related to profits of 2019).
In the Construction sector, delays in the ongoing projects continue to be observed, while at the same time the procedures in the
assignment of new projects continue to be delayed. At the same time, there are increases in the cost of materials and
transportation costs, which in local public works are adequately addressed with conventional price revisions. In
international projects, where no price revisions are provided, any increases are included in production costs. Nevertheless,
relevant claims have been filed with the clients for delays in the projects and cost burden due to the pandemic which are the
subject of negotiation between the Company and the clients. Ongoing international projects are expected to be completed in
2022.[For the effects of price increases on materials and fuels, see note "Impact of price increases on materials, transport
costs and fuel"]

In the energy sector, the large increase in VOLTERRA's turnover (in electricity trading) and the significant increase in market
prices resulted in a spike of the required working capital, to a level that the company itself (VOLTERRA) could not manage and
it was needed a significant support from the parent AVAX. This is due to the fact that the significant increase in gas prices
resulted in a corresponding increase in the Purchase Price which is repaid on the same day. According to the Procurement
Code, in order to be able to pass on the cost increase to the customer, the supplier is obliged to inform the customer in writing
about the harmonization with the new data and if it does not have the client's consent, it takes 60 days before the supplier
activates new turnover charges. This resulted in the loss-making effect of the company and especially in the significantly
increased required working capital.
Due to the aforementioned facts, the AVAX GROUP took the decision to divest from the electric energy and also, in order to
increase its cash flow, to divest from the whole VOLTERRA GROUP, hence, including and the profitable RES of the VOLTERRA
subsidiaries.
To this end, it entered into a contract with a financial advisor to find a buyer for the entire VOLTERRA Group, or separately
buyers for the company's energy sector and buyers for its Renewable Energy Sources.
In the context of business support by the Greek Government, a reduction of liabilities in the Group's real estate leases
amounting to €1.276.380 was made in the year 2021.
The spread of the Covid-19 pandemic significantly affected the whole year 2021. Within 2021, the protection measures of the
staff and associates have been taken and intensified, both at the construction sites and at the offices of the Group companies.
The AVAX Group, with a sense of responsibility, monitors the developments in order to respond appropriately atall levels in
order to ensure the health of its employees and its, as smooth as possible business operation and mainly in terms of cash
flows and contractual obligations from the execution of projects.
Impact of price increases of materials, transport costs and fuel
To date, and as the market continues to experience difficulties with rising raw material prices due to the effects of covid-19
and most recently due to the war in Ukraine, the effects on the results of the Company are significant. The materials, the price
increases of which affect the Company, its branches abroad and the consortia through which the projects are carried out,
concern iron, copper, aluminium, electromechanical equipment, asphalt, etc. The supply prices started to increase in last
months of 2020 until today, without any indication that this phenomenon will be reversed in the coming months. Price
increases range between 25% and 70%.
Company projects outside the home market are not covered by price revisions, and it is estimated that the impact on the
Company's gross result amounts to atleast €26 million. This amount concerns the roadwork in Croatia, the Casino Resort and
Trilogy building projects in Cyprus, the energy project in Iraq and the IGB gas pipeline in Bulgaria. In the domestic market, the
impact mainly concerns the project at the power plant in Agios Dimitrios of PPC and amounts to at least €4 million.
Given that the existing projects will be completed by the 3rd quarter of 2022, approximately 70% of the revaluations have been
absorbed with a reference date of 31.12.2021. Nevertheless, claims have been filed and claims are being negotiated with
customers as the conditions do not relate to normal price increases, but to force majeure. The amount of compensation that
may result from the negotiations is expected to affect the results of 2022.
For public works, the contracts provide conditions for price adjustment. However, as the revisions cover jobs that include
labor, leases, fuel and materials based on average revaluations, the adjustments are smaller than the actual increases, as
they only concern materials and fuel so far. Efforts and negotiations are being made with the relevant ministries so that these
materials with great price appreciation are paid retrospectively. For new projects that are not public, negotiations are
underway so that the contracts include price revision terms.
Loan from Athens Ring Road
The Company participated in the process of obtaining a loan totaling €82.8 million from the Athens Ring Road, in proportion
to its participation in the concessionaire, as provided by the relevant concession agreement.

Property Development by subsidiary AVAX Development
Subsidiary AVAX Development agreed with Dimand SA the acquisition of 15% and 55% participation respectively in 3V SA,
which owns a plot of 18,730sqm in Neo Faliro with a building permit for the construction of a 57,450sqm building complex.
Following the redesign, a complex of mixed residential and commercial use will be developed on the property.
Discontinuation of the Energy Sector
The Group has been facing serious challenges since 2020, such as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and most recently the
effects of the war in Ukraine.
Specifically, there was a) decrease in activity in 2020, mainly from the domestic market given the difficulty in the execution of
projects, b) decline in concession revenues (there was a recovery in 2021, but not a full return to 2019 levels) and c)
significant delay in bidding and undertaking of new projects.
The effects of the pandemic and the war are reflected in the significant increases in raw materials and fuels, the significant
delays in the delivery of materials and the uncontrolled rise in electricity market prices.
Given the ongoing tenders for concession and PPP projects and the tenders that have been completed within 2022 (and the
projects are expected to start at the beginning of 2023), the Group in late 2021 revised its strategic plan, including the
VOLTERRA Group's participation divestment.
The uncontrollable increases in the clearing price of the gas market resulted to unforeseen gas price increases.Adherence to
the supply code had the effect of delaying the harmonization of customers' charges, causing significant losses to the Group.
The large increase in VOLTERRA customers and the significant increase in market prices resulted to the spike of the required
working capital to a level that VOLTERRA could not provide and needed significant support from the parent company AVAX.
Due to the aforementioned facts, the AVAX GROUP took the decision to divest from the electric energy and also, in order to
increase its cash flow, to divest from the whole VOLTERRA GROUP, hence, including and the profitable RES of the VOLTERRA
subsidiaries.
To this end, it entered into a contract with a financial advisor to find a buyer for the entire VOLTERRA Group, or separately
buyers for the company's energy sector and buyers for its Renewable Energy Sources. For the time being, there is no aggrement
or conclusion of negotiations regarding the transfer or partial sale of Volterra.

41. Significant developments and events from the end of the fiscal year 2021 until the day of submission of the Report
New Projects added
Since the beginning of 2022, the Company has signed a number of new contracts and has been awarded as the preferred
contractor in relevant tenders, sufficiently replenishing the outstanding balance of the Group in a period when the overall
pace of project execution is accelerating. The most important of these projects are the following:
· Eastern Ring Road of Thessaloniki (PPP), announcement as the preferred contractor in a 50% -50% consortium with the
Mytilineos Group, with a total budget of approximately € 380 million
· Upgrading of electronic traffic light systems and track changes atthe Thessaloniki-Eidomeni railway section, signing of a
contract in a joint venture with ALSTOM Transport SA, with a total value of approximately € 41 million
· Ellinikon Project Phase A infrastructure construction projects (main contractor)
· Maintenance and Operation of the Psytaleia Wastewater Treatment Center for a period of 5 years, signing a contract in a
joint venture with the companies AKTOR and ERGOTEM in which the Company has a percentage of 40%

42. Contingent Receivables and Liabilities
(a) Litigation against the Group is proceeding for labour accidents which took place during construction
works by companies or joint ventures which the Group participates in. Given that the Group is insured against
labour accidents, no significant impact from contingent adverse legal decisions is expected. Other litigation or
arbitration cases, as well as pending court or arbitration decisions are not expected to have a significant
impact on the financial status or operation of the Group or the Company. As of 31.12.2021 total provisions
have been made of € 5,968 thousand, of which € 5,540 thousand relates to previous years and € 428 thousand
relates to the current year.
(b) Regarding a case of arbitration for a project in Greece, a decision was issued on 30/3/2020 of the
International Arbitration Court against the company, amounting to € 5.5 m., plus interest of € 8.8 m., plus
arbitration and litigation expenses amounting to €4.5 m. The outcome of the case is considered uncertain at
this stage, as pending before the International Arbitration Court, stands an action for annulment of its Final
Decision. On 02.04.2020 the adversary demanded the calling of the two letters of credit worth €2.9 million it
held, which were paid in August 2020.
According to IAS 37 "Provisions for Contingent Liability", the Company has made a provision of € 13.5 million
after the payment of the amount that is covered by the letters of guarantee.
(c) There is a relevant note for audited and unaudited tax years.
(d) The Group has contingent liabilities in relation to banks, guarantees and other issues arising from its
ordinary operations, which are not expected to yield any negative impact.
After out-of-court negotiations, an agreement was signed on 9.9.2021 for the repayment of the remaining
amount in 7 annual installments until 31.7.2027. The provision that has been made and concerns the present
value of the liability covers the above liability.
