Key highlights regarding the successful restructuring debt agreement of the parent company and 2020 performance:
- Restructuring of the parent company's total debt: Within the first quarter of 2021, the parent company concluded the negotiations for the restructuring of its debt and improved all the major terms. In particular, it was achieved an extension of the loan repayment period for 3 years with the right of extension for 1 additional year at the discretion of the creditor bank as well as significantly reduced interest rate. The total existing borrowing of the parent company will become long-termas no interim repayments are foreseen and the total loan liabilities are expected to be contractually payable at their maturity in 2024. The process is expected to be completed within May when a detailed announcement will follow.
- Attica Group: Consolidated sales amounted to €290.4m vs €405.4m in 2019, while consolidated EBITDA resulted to gains of €40.5m vs gains of €78.0m last year. The consolidated result after tax for 2020 amounted to losses of € 49.4m vs gains of € 20.8m in 2019. The decrease in sales and consequently in EBITDA during 2020 comparing to the fiscal year of 2019 is attributed to the reduction of the traffic volumes because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Notably, during the first two months of 2020 (before the COVID-19 outbreak), Attica group's traffic volumes increased significantly compared to the corresponding period of the previous year, a trend that was reversed completely by the pandemic outbreak and the restrictions imposed on the free movement of passengers and vehicles. Attica's traffic volumes dropped, compared to 2019, by 53% in passengers, 38% in private vehicles and 14% in freight units. Number of sailings were reduced by 27% compared to 2019, while Attica group re-scheduled many sailings to secure the uninterrupted connection of the islands. It is worth mentioning that Attica group proceeds to new investments in line with its sustainability strategy enabled by its solid financial position. In this context, Attica group has signed an agreement with the Norwegian shipyard Brødrene Aa for the construction of 3 state-of-the-art Aero Catamaran type vessels, which will be deployed on the routes of the Saronic Gulf, in replacement of existing group vessels. In addition, Attica group completed the installation of scrubbers on the vessels BLUE STAR PATMOS, SUPERFAST XI, and BLUE STAR DELOS, which contribute significantly to the reduction of sulfur oxides (SOx) emissions. The key strategic priorities during the pandemic is the health and the safety of passengers and employees as well as the preservation of the connection of the islands to secure the uninterrupted transfer of goods and the service of the inhabitants.
