With our highly skilled manpower, our strong know-how, and our healthy economic environment, we managed, once again, to offer our customers high quality services. As the company that manages and provides the most precious of the natural resources, that being water, EYDAP sensitively and consistently strives to meet consumers’ needs and demands while simultaneously ensures environmental protection. The aim and objective of our Company’s economic policy is to be able, to autonomously fulfill our obligations towards our employees, our shareholders, and society. And this is an objective that we have successfully achieved through 2014. With zero debt and high cash balances, along with our social responsibility actions, EYDAP continued to thrive for 2014. In this context, we managed to implement our pricing policy with reduced rates throughout past year, while at the same time maintaining -and in many cases expanding, by using new favorable to the public price adjustments - our special social tariff for financially vulnerable households, as we believe that a water and sewage company, must first and foremost “serve” the customers. We set operational efficiency as our primary objective and despite the expected revenue decrease, as a result of our social initiatives, we succeeded in gaining strong profitability. In particular, for 2014 our turnover amounts in 326.4m € earnings before taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization amounts in 87.6m € and our profit before taxes amounts in 63.5m €. This current year, will be the first year of the implementation of our new Investment and Business Framework Strategic Action Plan for 2015-2019, which was completed in November 2014 in cooperation with consultants both from Greece and abroad. This strategic action framework includes all the company’s development and modernization investments plan, along with projects of high reward and effectiveness, without committing to one-way implementation actions while at the same time giving the opportunity for evaluation, focused on towards higher quality services and further company’s efficiency improvement. Our strategy in 2015 is tracked towards Society and Environment, providing at the same time specific actions to further increase company’s profitability. Our strategy includes a series of crucial initiatives which will contribute to company upgrading with respect to the extent of its environmental performance, modernization of fixed assets under the required International and European standards, to the continuous increase of the functional and technical performance, to the further improvement of processes and finally to the customer service methods. 2 ANNUAL BULLETIN & ANNUAL REPORT 2014 We have already launched multipart actions in order to reshape company’s Operation Centre towards a more integrated, modern and customer-oriented operating model that will emerge as a strategic communication and consumer service hub. Through simple, fast and innovative procedures, we will be able to deal effectively and responsibly with our consumers’ demands as reflected in today’s society. Additionally, we launched a new investment activity in order to reduce the percentage of non-revenue water and revenue loss, mainly created due to the aged installed water meters and to the lack of coordinated business activities and investment needs.
