The main financial figures of Epsilon Net Group for the 1^st Semester of 2021 are as follows:

Basic Financial Figures 01/01/2021- 30/06/2021

The high growth rates of the financial figures reflect both the continuing dynamics in the organic growth, as well as the significant contribution of the subsidiaries acquired in the last 12 months.

It should be noted that in the present results, Data Communication has been fully integrated, while Technolife is only integrated for a period of almost one month. (Completion of acquisition 07/06/2021).

The consolidation of Singular Logic was done with the equity method. Furthermore, regarding the participation of this acquisition and its positive effect to the Group’s data, we should highlight that in the specific period, only the results of the newly established Epsilon SingularLogic are consolidated, while a significant part of the revenues of self-produced software projects in the private sector were not included, as the split and transfer process was completed on 14/07/2021.

Condensed Statement of Financial Position

It is worth noting that despite the significant acquisitions, company’s cash liquidity is at a very satisfactory and constantly increasing level, ensuring the management’s goal for the smooth execution of the next strategic expansion moves. (Cash and cash equivalents 18.963 million euros, negative net debt while in the specific semester, net cash flows from operating activities amounted to 5.141 million euros). Furthermore, during the first half of 2021, Group’s Equity was considerably strengthened.

Prospects

All the products and services of the Group recorded an impressive increase in sales, during January-June 2021, depicting a year of intense growth, a milestone year and at the same time, a starting point of new auspicious developments in the course of the Group.

The corporate transformation of the Group and the operational integration of the activities and departments that resulted from the strategic acquisitions of last year, were completed successfully and in accordance with the planning of the management. The operational integration of different departments, contributes significantly to economies of scale and is the basis for improving the operating margin, while it will be a business model for the full utilization of future acquisitions.

The factors that guarantee the smooth growth of the Group and the continuous increase of the market share, are the dominant position of the Group in the field of e-invoicing and MyData e-books of IAPR, the expanded portfolio of its products, the maintenance and the prospect of expansion of its customer base, the excellent level of services provided and the high expertise of its human resources. Undoubtedly, the catalyst for the Group’s dynamic growth is the continuous investment in state- of- the art technologies with emphasis in the innovative software platforms Galaxy & Pylon which give important advantage to the products and services of the Group. As a result, both of the strategic acquisitions and organic growth, the number of active installations of the Group from 30,000 in the beginning of 2020 is today more than 80,000.

Epsilon Net Group of companies continues to consistently and continuously implement its strategic planning for the systematic expansion of its customer base, offering technological solutions both horizontally and in dynamic vertical markets in Greece providing specialized applications, while also planning its gradual expansion abroad.
