    Contents Message from the Chairman 02-03 Identity of MYTILINEOS Group 04-07 Annual Report Financial 2016 01 Message from the Chairman The world, as we knew it until today, has radically changed. Every day, the things we had been taking for granted are being overturned. The challenges we have to cope with keep increasing in complexity, evolving and changing, as the stable frameworks that had been in place for decades no longer apply. This was also evidenced by last year’s major political, social and economic developments, both in Greece and abroad, which changed the global landscape. In this new environment of a globalised economy, with political reversal following upon political reversal, our country is trying to find its balance and face the modern world’s challenges. To resolve pending issues and make changes where these needed to be made for years, so that it can enter a course of growth that will ultimately enable it to put in place the conditions for prosperity in the future. It is in this very same environment that MYTILINEOS Group has to operate. Faithful to the values and to the business strategy it has been following all these years, it continues tirelessly to create the conditions that will not only allow it to survive the economic crisis but will also strengthen its capabilities, establishing it as Greece’s new, major industrial player with international prospects. A model business that is driven by vision and is able to contribute its share (and more) to the effort to support the country's modernisation. A leading company which applies a unique and modern employment model, has an active social profile, adopts innovative investment and business growth mechanisms and enjoys international presence and recognition.

In the pre-1974 period Greece’s state-led development strategy based on import substitution and credit allocation produced strong growth (7% with manufacturing on the average at 11.4% annually), combined with low inflation (4%) and small balance of payments deficits (2.1% of GDP) until 1974. From 1974 until 1995 the economy showed a completely different picture. GDP annual growth rate averaged 2%, manufacturing growth slowed to almost zero, annual inflation averaged 18%, and the average external deficit, as a share of GDP, doubled. This performance was much worse than that of its neighbors and the other countries of the European Union (EU). The economic slowdown can be attributed almost completely to two major factors, namely the decline in the share of total investments in GDP, and the decline in the productivity of new investments. In an environment which had led to a downward spiral in economic performance, ultimately resulting in crisis (of slowing growth) and many large private firms that had grown rapidly in

  • Hellenic Equities: a New Start-July 2015
    Hellenic Equities: A New Start-July 2015 In view of the imminent Hellenic stock market re-opening sometime in the short term future we attempt to re-value our preferred picks and affirm our investment thesis. It is more than obvious that in such extraordinary circumstances with low visibility and high volatility in the market and financial /fiscal operations, any assumptions regarding valuations fall under certain culprits. At the core of our problem lies the Risk free rate crucial for our model. We have utilized both the normalized scenario of 6.50% R.f. rate and the 10.50% stressed R.f. rate to better evaluate our picks. We are obliged to pinpoint that at 11.00% current 10yr Hellenic Government Bond yield both our scenarios fall short. Our fundamental research indicates as top picks in our Hellenic Equities Universe the following listed stocks: Coca Cola Hellenic (CCH), OTE Hellenic Telecommunications Organization (HTO), Aegean Airlines (ARAIG), Mytilineos Holdings (MYTIL), Metka S.A (METK), Hellenic Organization of Football Prognostics (OPAP), Titan Cement (TITK) and Hellenic Exchanges Group (EXAE). Additionally we have a positive view on Motor Oil, Thrace Plastics, Kri Kri S.A, Thessaloniki Sewage Company and Terna Energy S.A from smaller capitalizations. Coca Cola Hellenic Bottling operates largely in a broad geographical area covering the Balkan markets, Russia, certain parts of Europe and Greece. The Company is headquartered in Switzerland, a relocation offering an improved risk- return profile due to the significantly lower risk premium. We expect Coca Cola Hellenic to preserve its strong Cash Flow ability and regard it a safe and value play on Greek Equities.
