Annual Report 2006 2 Chairman’s Statement Dear Shareholders and cooperators, Business dexterity is based on Vision and we, in Mytilineos Group, build our strategy on this basis. Besides, the results of 2006 confirmed fully our expectations for high rates of development and profit. We always seek opportunities which push forward our evolution and expand our work in the sectors of our activity. This is what makes us different. We realize the opportunities arising in the newly shaped business environment and we exploit them dynamically, in favour of our shareholders. More specifically, in the Energy and Metallurgy sectors we are moving forward with large investments and international cooperations, while at the same time we are implementing a program for the reduction raw material expenses, in order to significantly increase our financial sizes. In the EPC Projects Sector, the Group was established in 2006 as the most specialized constructor of energy works in Greece, while our international expansion is now a reality. We are the first company who undertook the construction of a turn-key energy production plant abroad and the prospects are favourable for the future. With vision, method, and steady developmental strategy, 2007 is going to be another landmark in our course. Each year is a step closer to our goal: continuation of profit with consistency and respect for the values of fair competition and corporate responsibility. We hope that this year also, as up to now in our long course, the shareholders, employees, cooperators and the local communities shall stand by our side, helping our constant effort for a healthy development in favour of our shareholders.
