Commenting on the 9M results, Dennis Malamatinas, Marfin Investment Group’s Chief Executive Officer, stated:
“In these times of continued global challenges, we are encouraged by our strong third quarter, which has contributed to offsetting the historical seasonality experienced by some of our companies during the first half of each year. As we envisioned, this strong performance has resulted in a healthy first 9 months of 2009. Our Group sales have increased by 6.1% over last year, while our gross profit has increased by 15.1%. During the quarter, MIG’s subsidiary and related companies embarked on numerous corporate activities which strengthened their operations, such as the successful launching of the new Olympic Air. The companies are continuing to further strengthen their leadership positions, invest in new products and markets, and preserve their healthy balance sheets. They have continued to follow MIG’s 2009 strategy of implementing cost-cutting initiatives and consolidating market positions. As a result, they are performing at or above expectations and exhibit strong operational performance relative to their peers. This reiterates our strong belief that MIG’s subsidiaries and related companies are favourably positioned for the future and ensures positive long-term prospects for its shareholders. We are looking forward to building on the successes of the third quarter.”
