KEY EVENTS AND HIGHLIGHTS OF Q1 2015:
VIVARTIA
Q1 2014 Q1 2015
Sales €129.8m €138.4m FMCG (Dairy & Frozen) €99.7m €108.3m Food Services (FSE) €31.3m €31.4mEBITDA €(2.8)m €5.1m FMCG (Dairy & Frozen) €0.8m €7.8m Food Services (FSE) €(3.6)m €(2.5)mNet Income after minorities €(15.3)m €(10.0)m
• The key features of Q1 2015 performance are the revenue growth (6.6% y-o-y) and the significant operating profitability improvement (group EBITDA turned profitable to
€5.1m), courtesy of the efficiency improvements (gross profit margin widened by c470bps y-o-y to 30.9%).
• Dairy: reported sales declined 8% y-o-y (or c3% on a like-for-like basis after adjusting for last year's non-recurring revenues related to special projects), following 6.5% y-o-y revenue decline in the Greek Dairy market, due to the prolonged challenging macroeconomic conditions in Greece. DELTA remains the undisputed leader in the Greek dairy market (total Greek milk market: 26.7% share in Q1 2015), with a leading position in the fresh milk segment (31.3% share in Q1 2015). EBITDA turned profitable (€2.7m profit vs €1.6m loss in Q1 2014), thanks to significant and structural efficiency improvements, lower raw material costs as well as innovative product launches in value accretive segments (e.g. cereal bars, yogurt with oat). Moreover, yogurt exports in Italy (Granarolo partnership) continue to show very strong consumer acceptance, resulting in
5.6% market share (or 10.9% market share of handlers) in March 2015, within a year since launch (April 2014).
• Frozen Foods: reported EBITDA reached €5.1m, 12% y-o-y increase on a comparable basis, driven by revenue growth of c16% y-o-y on a comparable basis (excluding the positive effect from the change of the consolidation method of Elliniki Zimi M. Arabatzis SA) vs. c13% y-o-y growth for the total Greek market. Note that as of 01.07.2014
Vivartia consolidates fully Elliniki Zimi M. Arabatzis SA (compared to the equity method as an associate in Q1 2014). The division remained the undisputed leader in the frozen vegetables market (65.5% in Q1 2015) as well as the leader among branded products in the frozen dough market (24.0% market share in Q1 2015). This validates the effectiveness of the strategy of increasing brand awareness and penetration (especially in frozen vegetables), expanding into value accretive sub-segments as well as improving price competitiveness.
• Food Services (FSE): revenues came in almost unchanged y-o-y, despite prolonged challenging market conditions in Greece (declining consumption). FSE like-for-like

revenues for the network increased c8% y-o-y. Moreover, the Travel related business (airport, vessels and national road motorist service stations) registered 13% y-o-y revenue growth on a like-for-like basis. The ongoing cost cutting efforts, the significant EBITDA margin improvement of all FSE brands, as well as the improved performance at Goody's Burger House (the new concept of Goody's currently being rolled out with 43
POS) supported the significant containment of operating (EBITDA) losses.
ATTICA GROUP
Q1 2014 Q1 2015
Sales €41.1m €39.6m EBITDA (recurring) €(7.2)m €2.3m Net Income after minorities €(16.6)m €(10.9)m
• The key feature of Q1 2015 performance is the return to operating (EBITDA) profitability for the first time since Q1 2007 (€2.3m profit vs. €7.2m loss in Q1 2014). The operating performance turnaround is attributed to the containment of operating (-21% y-o-y) and SG&A expenses (-11% y-o-y), despite 3.7% y-o-y decline in revenues (€39.6m vs. €41.1m in Q1 2014) (note that Attica operated with one fewer vessel in Q1 2015 vs. Q1 2014).
• The ongoing active fleet deployment improved fleet capacity utilization per sailing, as well as, reduced fuel oil consumption, which, combined with the fuel oil price reduction, have contributed to the substantial decrease in operating expenses. In Q1 2015, the fuel cost per metric tonne, expressed in € terms, declined 35% y-o-y.
• Note that the 1st quarter is the weakest in terms of traffic volumes due to seasonality;
hence it is not indicative of full-year trends.
• As regards Attica's traffic volumes (data derived from the Greek Port Authorities and
Attica estimates; y-o-y change vs Q1 2014):
./ Domestic market routes (Cyclades, Dodecanese, North Aegean, Crete):
o passengers: -12.3%
o private vehicles: -8.8%
o freight units: -4.8%
o sailings: -14.0% (one vessel less in Q1 2015)
./ Adriatic Sea routes (Patra-Igoumenitsa-Ancona and Patra-Igoumenitsa-Bari):
o passengers: -11.7%
o private vehicles: -14.4%
o freight units: +1.0%
o sailings: -10.3%
• In September 2014, Attica completed the comprehensive, long-term refinancing of its entire debt, as well as the agreement for €75m investment from funds managed by Fortress Investment Group.

HYGEIA GROUP
Q1 2014 Q1 2015
Sales (reported) €57.5m €56.7m EBITDA (reported) €6.5m €6.7m Net Income after minorities €(0.6)m €(0.4)m
• The key feature of Q1 2015 performance is the improvement to the operating (EBITDA)
profitability (3% y-o-y increase to €6.7m vs. €6.5m in Q1 2014).
• The EBITDA increase is attributed to ongoing efficiency improvements (group EBITDA margin widened by 50bps y-o-y to 11.8%), despite the marginal revenue decline (-1% y- o-y to €56.7m vs. €57.5m in Q1 2014).
• Sales and EBITDA have been adversely impacted by the legal obligation to implement the automatic claw back and rebate mechanisms in the healthcare sector (imposed by law in July 2013). The relevant charge in Q1 2015 is €3.2m vs. €3.4m in Q1 2014.
• In December 2014, Hygeia acquired the remaining 12.1% minority stake in its subsidiary Hygeia Hospital Tirana for €3.8m, bringing its stake to 100%. The transaction forms part of the group's strategy to maintain complete control over the ownership and
management of the subsidiaries, aimed at ensuring the high level of offered services.
