1. Financials - Business report - Major events
Α. Financials - Business Report
The year 2025 was marked by heightened geopolitical uncertainty, the imposition of tariffs on aluminium and copper product imports into the U.S., disruptions in the scrap and raw materials markets, persistently high energy prices, and overall inflationary cost pressures. Nevertheless, the Group’s operating profitability remained resilient and at the same level as the previous year.
Consolidated turnover for 2025 amounted to €3,614.5 million, an increase of 5.1% compared to €3,438.5 million in 2024, driven by higher sales volumes and increased LME prices.
Metal prices on the LME reached higher levels throughout the year compared to 2024. Specifically, LME prices recorded a notable increase during the first quarter of the fiscal year, followed by a decline at the end of March and then a rapid rise in December, driven by renewed optimistic expectations. The average price of aluminium reached EUR 2,333/tn in 2025 compared to EUR 2,236/tn in 2024, increased by 4.3%, The average price of copper stood at EUR 8,801/tn versus EUR 8,454/tn the respective prior year, increased by 4.1% while the average price for of Zinc was EUR 2,543/tn versus EUR 2,569/tn in 2024, decreased by 1.0%.
In terms of volume, sales of aluminium products reached 428 thousand tons, up from 414 thousand tons in the corresponding period last year. Although the second half of 2025 was marked by market turbulence-following the imposition of 50% tariffs on U.S. imports, which affected global trade flows and aluminum demand-the sales volume was successfully redistributed across alternative geographical regions and end markets. The increased demand for packaging products in the Aluminium Segment contributed to a 2.6% increase in sales volume. The sales volume of the Aluminum segment increased by 3.4%, with 64% of sales directed to the food packaging sector (rigid and flexible), 12% to the transportation sector, 12% to the building and construction sector, and the remaining 12% distributed among other industrial applications.
Sales volume of the Copper segment increased by 0.5% for the fiscal year 2025, reaching 172 thousand tons, supported by the expanding activity of data centres and applications in power networks, particularly in the United States. Despite subdued demand across all sectors of the economy, sales volumes of extruded copper products (bus bars/rods) and copper tubes increased by 10.9% and 4.8%, respectively. It is worth noting that although the trade tariffs affected sales to the United States during the second half of the year, the annual sales volume for copper bus bars remained higher compared to 2024.Conversely, copper rolling products recorded a decrease of 4.7% due to intensifying competition. As regards the product mix, copper tube sales accounted for 38% of total sales volume, followed by copper and copper alloy rolled products for industrial uses, which represented 33%. Copper strips accounted for 22%, brass rods and tubes for 6%, and products of of Epirus Metalworks for 1%.
Consolidated adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (a-EBIDTA) reached Euro 236.0 million for 2025 compared to Euro 237.5 million thein the respective prior year, marginally decreased by 0.6%, affected by the high energy costs, the overall inflationary cost pressures, and the adverse sales mix. Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amor- tisation (EBITDA) amounted to Euro 226.1 million in 2025, compared to Euro 242.7 million in 2024, representing a decrease of Euro 16.7 million. The decline was mainly driven by lower metal results, which stood at profits of Euro 5.8 million versus Euro 11.4 million in 2024, as well as by losses arising from the fair value measurement of financial assets.
Consolidated profit before tax reached Euro 125.0 million in 2025 compared to Euro 126.0 million in 2024, having been positively affected by the reduced financial result, which improved by €9 million. Finally, consolidated profit after tax and minority interests, was maintained at the same level as in the prior year, amounted to Euro 109.6 million and Euro 0.27615 per share.

Finally, the subsidiaries of the Copper segment invested Euro 18.6 million while the subsidiaries of the Aluminium segment invested Euro 14.8 million, with the aim to improvements to the production process.

Metal result stems from:
1. The time period that runs between the invoicing of the purchase, holding time and metal processing versus the invoicing of sales.
2. The effect of the opening balance of inventory (which in turn is affected by the metal prices of prior periods) on the amount reported as Cost of Sales, due to the valuation method used which is the weighted average.
3. Specific customer contracts containing fixed forward price commitments which result in exposure to changes in metal prices for the period of time between when our sales price fixes and the sale actually occurs
ELVALHALCOR and its subsidiaries use derivatives to reduce the effect of the fluctuation of metal prices. However, there will always be a positive or negative effect in the result due to the safety stock that is held. The calculation of the metal price lag as derived from the financial statements can be analysed as follows:

3. Main risks and uncertainties
Based on its activities and strategic objectives, the Group, through a structured Risk Management framework, has iden- tified and classified its risks into five key pillars: Financial Risks, Strategic Risks, Operational Risks, Legal & Regulatory Compliance Risks, and Sustainability Risks.
A. Financial Risks
Credit risk
The Group and the Company’s exposure to credit risk are primarily affected by the features of each customer. The demo- graphic data of the Group’s clientele, including payment default risk that determines the specific market and the country in which customers are active, affect credit risk to a lesser extent since no geographical concentration of credit risk is noticed. No client exceeds 10% of total sales (for the Group or Company), and, consequently, the commercial risk is spread over a large number of clients. More specific, it should be noted that INTERNATIONAL TRADE S.A trades products of the Group ELVALHALCOR to various foreign countries, with the delivery provided directly from the production facilities of the Group to the end use customers, none of which exceeds 10% of total sales. ELVALHALCOR’s transactions with INTERNATIONAL TRADE are approved by the Board of Directors and are published to the Business Registry (GEMH), pursuant to art. 99-101 of the Law L4548/2018.
The Company complies with and follows the established credit policy, which has been approved by the Group’s Board of Directors. Under this policy:
(a) each new customer is individually assessed for creditworthiness before standard payment terms are offered. The credit assessment performed by the Group and the Company includes the review of banking references;(b) credit limits and pay- ment terms are set for each customer and are reviewed in accordance with prevailing conditions;(c) insurance limits are obtained for these customers from insurance companies, and the Company subsequently insures its receivables based on those limits;(d) customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics, the ageing profile of their receivables, and any past issues related to recoverability. Customers identified as ‘high risk’ are placed on a special monitoring list, and any future sales must be prepaid;(e) depending on the customer’s history and status, collateral or other forms of security (e.g., letters of guarantee) are requested whenever feasible.
Bearing in mind that there is no official definition of default, ElvalHalcor considers as default the occurrence of one or both of the following events: i) The Company assumes that the counterparty is unlikely to fully recover its obligation to the Com- pany, unless the Company obtain measures, such as the liquidation of any collateral provided in favour of the insurance company. ii) The counterparty is overdue for payment / fulfilment of its obligation to the Company for a period of more than 30 days (provided that the terms of the credit have not been changed by agreement of the Company). Any write-off is carried out following the completion of the legal actions.
The Group and the Company record impairment allowances that reflect its assessment of losses and expected credit losses from customers, other receivables, and investments in securities. This allowance mainly consists of impairment losses of specific receivables that are estimated based on given circumstances that they will be materialized though they have not been finalized yet, as well as an allowance for expected credit losses according to the Group’s analysis which was formulated for the implementation of IFRS 9.
It is the policy of the Group and the Company not to provide financial guarantees, except—and only by exception—following a decision of the Board of Directors and in accordance with the provisions of Articles 99–101 of Law 4548/2018, as in force. The guarantees issued by the Group do not entail significant risk.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the inability of the Group to discharge its financial obligations when they mature. The approach adopted by the Group to manage liquidity is to ensure a strategic diversification of financing sources and working capital management, by holding the necessary cash and having adequate credit limits from cooperating banks a and trade finance services that it will always have adequate liquidity in order to cover its obligations when they mature, under normal or more difficult conditions, without there being unacceptable losses or its reputation being jeopardized. It is noted that the Group held cash and cash equivalents on 31 December 2025, which amounted to Euro 53.8 million and the Company Euro 37.5 million as well as approved but not utilized lines of credit to cover current and medium-term liabilities. For investment purposes, the Group and the Company ensure the raising of additional loans by securing financing under more competitive terms (see
Annual Report 2025
15
note 23). Moreover, the Group communicates with the banks to secure proper refinancing of loans that expire.
In order to avoid liquidity risk, the Group and the Company examine a cash flow projection for one year while preparing the annual budget as well as a monthly rolling projection for three months to ensure that it has adequate cash to cover its operating needs, including the fulfilment of its financial obligations. This policy does not take into account any impact of extreme conditions which cannot be foreseen.
Market risk
Market risk consists of the risk arising from changes in interest rates, exchange rates, and the prices of key raw materials and energy, which affect the results of the Group and the Company. The purpose of the market risk management policy is to monitor and control the Group’s and the Company’s exposure to such risks within acceptable parameters, while simultaneously optimizing returns.
The Group and the Company enter into derivative financial instrument transactions in order to hedge part of these risks.
(a)Exchange rate risk
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk in relation to the sales and purchases carried out and the loans issued in a currency other than the functional currency of Group companies, which is mainly the Euro. The currencies in which these transactions are held are mainly the USD and the GBP.
Over time, the Group and the Company hedge part of their estimated exposure to foreign currencies in relation to the antic- ipated sales and purchases and the greatest part of receivables and liabilities in foreign currency. The Group enters mainly into currency forward contracts with external counterparties so as to deal with the risk of the exchange rates variation, which mainly expire within less than a year from the balance sheet date. When deemed necessary, these contracts are renewed upon expiry. As the case may be, foreign exchange risk may be hedged by taking out loans in the respective currencies.
Loan interest is denominated in the same currency with that of cash flows, which arises from the Group’s operating ac- tivities and is mostly the Euro.
The investments of the Group in other subsidiaries are not hedged because these exchange positions are considered to be long-term.
(b)Interest rate risk
The Group finances its investments and its needs in working capital through bank and bond loans, thus interest charges burden its results. Rising interest rates have a negative impact on results since borrowing costs for the Group rise. The high benchmark interest rates applied to control inflation and bring it down to the desired levels have affected the Group’s borrowing costs in recent years. To the extent feasible and effective, the Group and the Company may obtain fixed-rate loans and/or enter into interest rate hedging transactions through interest rate swap agreements in order to reduce their exposure to interest rate risk.
The Group and the Company have entered into fixed rate loan agreements for a portion of their long term debt as a meas- ure to hedge the risk arising from interest rate fluctuations. In addition, the Group and the Company carry out interest rate hedging transactions through interest rate swap agreements, converting variable interest rates to fixed rates for part of their long term debt.
The Group and the Company document the existence of an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument based on reference interest rates, time periods, maturity dates and nominal values.
(c)Risk from the fluctuation of metal prices (aluminium, copper, zinc, other metals), gas & electric energy-Cash flow Hedging
The Group and the Company base both their purchases and their sales on exchange-traded prices for copper, aluminium, and the other metals used and contained in their products. They are able to price these metals separately to customers, as well as to conduct purchases from suppliers for the quantities of metal required for their operations. In cases where daily purchases and sales cannot be immediately offset (back-to-back), the Group and the Company apply cash-flow hedging transactions. Accordingly, for every sale of a product or any other form of inventory containing metals, at the moment the LME price is agreed with the customer, they take a long position on the LME for the corresponding embedded quantity, using derivatives. For every new order of physical raw-material inventory placed with suppliers, at the moment the LME
ElvalHalcor
16
price is agreed with the suppliers, they take a short position on the LME for the corresponding quantity, also using deriv- atives, if these daily purchases and sales cannot be offset against each other (back-to-back).In this way, fluctuations in international metal prices do not affect operating cash flows, ensuring the smooth, sustainable, and efficient operation of the Group and the Company. However, the Group does not hedge the entirety of its core operating inventory; therefore, a potential decline in metal prices may negatively affect results through the impairment of inventories.
The Group and the Company engage in derivative financial instrument transactions (Commodity Swaps) in order to hedge the risk arising from fluctuations in natural gas prices linked to the Title Transfer Facility (TTF) index, and in electricity prices linked to the Day-Ahead Market (DAM), which are embedded in certain future purchases of these commodities. Specifically, the Company has entered into agreements with counterparties to exchange a fixed price for a floating market price for predetermined quantities of natural gas and electricity that will be consumed in future production of products for which a sales commitment exists at a fixed price. Upon initiation of the hedging transaction, the Group and the Company document the relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument with respect to risk management and the strategy for entering future natural gas and electricity transactions. The Group and the Company document the assessment of hedge effectiveness in terms of offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged items, both at the inception of the hedging relationship and on an ongoing basis. The Group does not hedge all of its future requirements for natural gas and electricity; therefore, any increase in their prices may negatively affect a portion of its cost base. Finally, to mitigate the risk of rising electricity prices, the Group and the Company have entered into a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with a producer, which will be supported by renewable energy sources.
Capital management
The Groups’ policy is to maintain a strong capital base to ensure investors’, creditors’ and market’s trust in the Group and to allow Group activities to expand in the future.
The Board of Directors tries to maintain equilibrium between higher returns that would be feasible through higher bor- rowing levels and the advantages and security offered by a strong and robust capital structure. For this reason, the Group monitors the efficiency of the capital employed, which the Group defines as Profit before tax and finance results divided by total capital employed, as well as the Net Debt to a-EBITDA ratio and the dividends paid to holders of common shares.
In addition, within the framework of the obligations of the listed bond loan issued by the Group, it monitors the following ratios:
• a-EBITDA / Net finance expenses
• Total liabilities / Equity
There were no changes in the approach adopted by the Group in how capital was managed during the financial year.
Inflation pressures
Recent data indicate that inflation in Europe, as well as globally, remains volatile while maintaining a downward trend— slow but steady. Inflationary pressures may increase the Group’s operating costs, including expenses related to energy, supplies, and payroll. Despite the overall stabilization of the core price index, the prices of key metals (such as copper and aluminium) remained at elevated levels throughout 2025—reaching historical highs in many cases—thereby limiting the extent of the decline reflected in raw material costs.
At the same time, energy costs continue to be a critical factor for the competitiveness of domestic production: in terms of final (‘all-in’) energy costs for energy-intensive industries, Greece records significantly higher levels compared with countries that apply mechanisms similar to the ‘Italian model’ (Energy Release 2.0). Consequently, although the easing of inflation offers some support, the net impact on production costs remains highly sensitive primarily to energy and metal prices, as well as to geopolitical and trade developments. In this context, the Group and the Company are implementing measures to mitigate these pressures, such as operational cost control, procurement optimization, operational excellence and production-efficiency programs, as well as financial hedging instruments for energy and metals.
B. Strategic Risks
Duties
The imposition of trade duties continues to constitute a significant source of economic uncertainty, as their introduction and/or increase intensifies volatility in raw material prices, affects their availability and procurement cost, disrupts the smooth operation of the supply chain, and burdens inventory and purchasing planning. Accordingly, the Group system-
Annual Report 2025
17
atically monitors developments, evaluates potential impacts and possible costs, and seeks to safeguard its cash flows through strategic adjustments, risk-hedging policies, and production planning, in order to ensure business continuity and maintain competitiveness.
With respect to the Group’s sales in the United States, these represent approximately 8% of its revenue for 2025, primarily affecting sales during the second half of 2025. Management is closely monitoring developments and is examining the expansion of the Group’s presence into new markets, with the aim of gradually substituting markets where trade restrictions are applied.
Country Risk & Geopolitical Developments
Adverse political and geopolitical conditions may negatively affect the resources, financial position, and future cash flows of both the Group and the Company in countries where they operate production facilities, hold investments, or have entered into contracts governed by the legislation of those countries. The Company continuously monitors developments in the international and domestic environment and promptly adjusts its business strategy and risk-management policies in order to mitigate the impact of macroeconomic and geopolitical disruptions.
Ongoing geopolitical tensions—particularly the recent developments in the Middle East—have led to increased volatility and upward pressure on international energy prices, including oil and natural gas. Given the energy-intensive nature of the Group’s activities, any prolonged increases in energy costs may affect the Group’s production cost.
At the same time, geopolitical uncertainties beyond the energy sector influence global markets for key raw materials and metals, causing fluctuations or increases in their prices, which may further burden the overall production cost. These developments, combined with broader inflationary pressures and higher compliance costs stemming from international sanctions and regulatory constraints, may create an environment of uncertainty for the Group’s business operations.
The Group continuously strengthens the tools used to monitor and manage geopolitical and macroeconomic risks, aiming at the timely identification of potential impacts and the implementation of appropriate measures to ensure operational resilience and the long-term sustainability of its activities.
Industry Risk
Volatility in sector-specific risks, in the ability of competitors to identify and manage such risks, as well as in other conditions affecting the industrial sector in which the Group and the Company operate, may negatively influence the attractiveness or even the long-term viability of the sector. Industry risk is primarily associated with the cyclicality of demand and with the degree/ability of substitution for certain products manufactured by the Group.
To mitigate this risk, the Group expands its exports and its product portfolio in order to diversify its exposure across the different phases of the economic cycle in international markets and to shift part of its production towards products with a lower degree of substitutability.
Competitor Risk
Actions, strategies, or changes in the behavior of competitors may negatively affect the financial performance, market share, pricing power, or strategic position of the Group and the Company.
Competitor risk is closely monitored, and continuous efforts are made to mitigate it through a strong commitment to quality at all stages of production, the development of solutions that are difficult to substitute, investment in technology and innovation, a competitive pricing policy, and a consistent focus on specialized, high value-added products.
Macro-economic environment
The macroeconomic environment in 2025 was characterized by ongoing uncertainty, stemming from the combination of geopolitical tensions and volatility in energy and raw material prices. The imposition of U.S. tariffs under Section 232 is closely monitored by the Group. Although inflation shows signs of gradual easing in certain markets, it continues to remain at relatively elevated levels, affecting production costs and demand.
At the same time, most sectors of the economy exhibit weakened demand, while disruptions in supply chains and high energy costs continue to be significant sources of pressure that could impact the Group’s operating profitability and working capital needs. The Group closely monitors developments in the international economic environment and takes appropriate measures to mitigate potential impacts on its operations and financial position.

C. Operational risks
Supply Chain Risk
The availability of key raw materials, metals, energy, and other critical commodities, as well as the uninterrupted opera- tion of the relevant distribution networks, may be affected by broader geopolitical developments, particularly the recent increase in instability in the Middle East. These developments may disrupt existing transportation and distribution channels, increase delivery times, limit the production or export capacity of certain countries, and reduce the availability of metals and raw materials originating from the region.At the same time, heightened geopolitical uncertainty may lead to significant increases in freight rates and transportation costs, as well as the need to redirect shipments through alternative routes. Such conditions may affect the ability of the Group and the Company to produce and supply high-quality products at competitive prices and within the required timelines.To mitigate this risk, the Group implements all necessary measures, including, among others, maintaining a geographically diversified supplier base where feasible, developing and regularly updating lists of alternative materials and suppliers, entering into Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with key partners, and reducing reliance on spot markets through long-term contracts that help ensure adequacy, stability, and predictability in prices, quantities, and delivery times.
TPM | Third-Party Managemen t
With the aim of preventing, mitigating, and managing risks that could undermine responsible sourcing, the Group and the Company systematically collect, verify, and archive information regarding customers, suppliers, contractors, and other partners with whom they maintain regular commercial relationships. In view of the increasing frequency of incidents related to money laundering and the continuous updates to global sanctions regimes due to geopolitical tensions, the Group and the Company assess and, insofar as possible, implement all necessary measures to ensure that they are not involved in prohibited commercial relationships nor in transactions with countries, companies, and/or materials that could be associated with money-laundering activities or are subject to sanctions.
Furthermore, strict safeguards and control mechanisms are applied to ensure that no illegal transactions are conducted, thus protecting the reputation of the companies and preventing potential sanctions or fines from supervisory authorities worldwide.
Going Concern Risk
The risk of damage to production equipment or systems, shortages of personnel or services, or failures in processes may jeopardize the Company’s ability to continue its operations. As this risk is evidently critical for industrial production, all facilities perform thorough maintenance of their equipment through specialized maintenance departments (distinct for each site) and according to a well-organized preventive maintenance program.
In addition, plant equipment and production lines are systematically upgraded to incorporate new technologies and artificial intelligence, thereby reducing the risk of obsolescence. All spare parts and consumables are classified according to their criticality for production, and inventory safety levels are continuously monitored. Certain factories, facilities, and produc- tion lines have been designated as suitable for use in the production of alternative products, and contingency plans are in place to allow for swift transfer of production to these units if necessary. Furthermore, a significant portion of this risk is transferred to insurance companies through business interruption insurance policies.
Product Failure Risk
A defective product or a product that does not perform as intended may expose the Group and the Company to customer complaints, warranty claims, onsite repairs, returns, product liability claims, legal disputes, and loss of revenue, market share, and business reputation. To mitigate this risk proactively—arising either from actual defects or from customer claims—the Group has established strict quality-management systems at its manufacturing facilities. Standardized and consistent quality-control procedures are applied, and appropriate insurance coverage is maintained against such claims. Quality-control processes include, among others, batch-based or product-level sampling inspections at specific produc- tion stages, the installation of monitoring equipment at designated stages and production lines, dedicated units for the detection of potential defects, and the implementation of full traceability systems. In addition, product liability insurance policies are maintained.
Information Systems & Cybersecurity Risk
Information systems risk is generally defined as the likelihood that a specific threat may be triggered—either accidentally
Annual Report 2025
19
or through the deliberate exploitation of a vulnerability in IT systems and processes—and the resulting impact of such an event. The Group is capital-intensive and relies heavily on information systems for the management and optimization of production. These systems inherently carry risks that are typical within a production environment and, consequently, the broader commercial environment, and may lead to financial losses or legal liability. Such risks may arise from IT system outages due to equipment failure, natural disasters, human error, or unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or destruction of information. The effective identification of vulnerabilities that may pose risks, the assessment of existing control mechanisms, and the determination and implementation of risk-reduction actions constitute an ongoing process that considers the constantly evolving landscape of threats, controls, and regulations. The continuous identification and implementation of appropriate and proportionate control mechanisms that reduce exposure to the aforementioned threats are critical both for the integrity of IT systems and for compliance with legal obligations. The Group conducts risk assess- ments and gap analyses related to information systems and information security in order to continuously evaluate and strengthen its position against such risks, as well as to ensure compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2016/679.
D. Legal and Regulatory Compliance Risks
Regulatory Compliance
With respect to the requirements arising within the regulatory compliance framework, Greek Corporate Law — and specifically Law 4706/2020 on Corporate Governance for Sociétés Anonyms — the Group and the Company have estab- lished the necessary structures and procedures to ensure continuous compliance and to safeguard their reputation. This includes the adoption of an approved Operating Regulation and an internal Corporate Governance Code covering matters such as the accountability of Board members and Directors, principles of sound governance, insider-information-related transactions, and conflicts of interest.
Many aspects of operations are defined by laws and regulations, including, indicatively, labor legislation, health and safety regulations, environmental laws, and construction and operating permits. The Group requires all its companies and fa- cilities to comply with all applicable laws and regulations — at local, European, or international level — relating to health and safety at production sites, labor and human rights, environmental protection, anti-corruption, and the prevention of bribery and financial fraud.
Privacy Risk
The Group and the Company recognize the need to protect personal data not only as a requirement for legal compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2016/679 and other established legislation, but also because it offers added value and competitive advantage. The Company is committed to safeguarding the personal data of employ- ees, customers, suppliers, partners, and investors. Its objective is to adhere to international standards and best practices, thereby minimizing the risk to the privacy of individuals and their personal data.
To this end, ElvalHalcor has adopted and implements a personal data protection policy, has established specific roles, procedures, and control mechanisms for personal data protection across all activities of its subsidiaries, and has put in place oversight mechanisms for monitoring mitigation actions and continuously improving them.
E. Sustainability Risks
Climate Change Risk
The challenges posed by climate change may lead to damage to assets and infrastructure, shortages of raw materials, fluctuations in raw-material prices, and disruptions in the supply chain. Recognizing the current challenges related to climate change, energy efficiency, and the circular economy, the Group and the Company are committed to managing and addressing these issues by continuously reducing their carbon emissions and environmental footprint through the imple- mentation of specific policies, procedures, and initiatives. Further details are provided in the sustainability report section:
a) Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism | CBAM
The implementation of CBAM is expected to increase the cost of raw materials due to additional import charges, thereby affecting production costs and competitiveness. At the same time, there is concern about potential circumvention of these charges, to the detriment of EU based producers. The possibility of such a distorted framework could lead to increased imports of competing products, making it imperative for lawmakers to respond and ensure fair and proper enforcement.
ElvalHalcor
20
b) Emissions Trading System |ETS
At the same time, the gradual reduction of free ETS allowances from 2026 is expected to lead to an indirect increase in thermal energy costs, as natural gas consumption and its associated emissions affect companies’ operating expenses. The volatility of energy prices and the complexity of regulatory initiatives represent significant transition risks, stemming from the integration of renewable energy sources into the energy mix, the cost of energy storage, and the expansion of networks required to accommodate RES. Achieving a balanced transition to sustainable energy is of critical importance for many industries and constitutes a major legislative challenge.
c) Water Availability
Water scarcity, as a result of changes in rainfall patterns due to climate change, may hinder the Company’s production activities. The energy required for water recycling would increase operating costs as well as indirect carbon emissions.
Employee Training & Development
Employee training and development has been identified as a key sustainability topic for ElvalHalcor from an economic perspective. Insufficient training programs and limited training hours could hinder employee development as well as their potential and overall well-being within the Company’s operations. Further details are provided in the sustainability report section.
Insufficient Employee Training
The inability to empower and upskill personnel may reduce efficiency and productivity, potentially impacting performance, profitability, and the long-term success of the business. Conversely, investments in employee development not only strength- en individual performance and job satisfaction but also enhance the overall success of the business, helping ElvalHalcor maintain its competitiveness and agility in response to market trends and business changes. To address potential negative economic impacts, ElvalHalcor allocates substantial resources to specialized training programs tailored to its workforce. The Group’s commitment to continuous learning and skills improvement is an integral part of its strategic objectives, ensuring that its workforce remains adaptable, capable, and ready to meet the evolving demands of the industry. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries are committed to supporting and recognizing employee development, as well as providing opportunities for improvement through evaluation and feedback processes.

4. Outlook and targets for 2026
ElvalHalcor looks to the future with cautious optimism, despite the continued challenges. Macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty persists. Recent developments in the Middle East add a further layer of geopolitical risk. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical hub for the global transportation of energy resources, and any disruption in the region could lead to higher energy prices, increased transportation and insurance costs, as well as new disturbances in global supply chains. Management will continue to monitor developments closely and assess potential implications.
Despite these challenges, the fundamental drivers supporting global demand remain strong, providing a solid basis for growth in the medium and long term. At the same time, supply constraints, intensifying competition and price volatility on the LME may increase pressure on working capital and financing needs. Within this environment, strict cost manage- ment—combined with prudent working capital and debt management—will remain critical to maintaining a strong financial position and steady performance.
In these conditions, ElvalHalcor is well-equipped to respond effectively to evolving global market dynamics, leveraging its important role in the global decarbonization effort and the transition toward a circular economy. Recent investments aimed at enhancing production capacity and expanding the product range are expected to strengthen the Group’s growth prospects. In parallel, major global trends—such as the increasing demand for packaging with high recycled content, energy-efficient buildings, the expansion of data centres, investments in energy infrastructure, and the spread of heat pumps—create additional growth opportunities.
The Group has already demonstrated remarkable resilience, achieving further increases in market share and sales volumes in both aluminium and copper products, despite geopolitical challenges and elevated raw material costs.

6. Subsequent events
1. On March 3rd, 2026, the Board of Directors of ELVALHALCOR resolved to propose to the Annual General Meeting of shareholders, which will be held on May 11th, 2026, the approval of a gross dividend distribution of €0.11 per share.
2. On March 5th, 2026, the parent company ELVALHALCOR entered into an agreement for a common bond loan amount- ing to €8,000,000 with Credia Banking Société Anonyme. The purpose of the loan is the repayment of an existing loan previously issued by the Company and subscribed by the above-mentioned Bank, with a current outstanding balance of €2,000,000, as well as the financing of working capital of a more permanent nature. The loan has a five-year duration and is issued under the provisions of Law 4548/2018.
3. In late February 2026, geopolitical developments in the Persian Gulf region began to affect the international economic environment, exerting pressure on energy costs, inflation, and consequently production costs, while also causing disruptions in the supply chain. Purchases of raw materials (metals) originating from countries concerned represent 14% of the Group’s total purchases. The Company seeks to mitigate the related risks by implementing a combination of procurement management strategies, such as maintaining increased safety stock levels for key raw materials. This practice may affect working capital and lead to increased financing or borrowing needs. Management closely monitors developments and takes the necessary measures to ensure adequate liquidity and effective cost control. In addition, the Group and the Company maintain limited commercial exposure to the countries involved, as sales to countries concerned represent approximately 1.5% and 1%, respectively, of the total sales of the Group and the Company.
There are no subsequent events to December 31, 2025, that significantly affect these financial statements and should either be disclosed or amend the figures of the financial statements at the year end.

Changes and error reports compared to the previous reporting year
During the second year of reporting in accordance with the ESRS standards, certain changes were made to the presentation of specific information in order to ensure a more accurate representation of the data and improve comparability with previous reporting periods. For the 2024 reporting year, the figures relating to Scope 2 indirect emissions were updated following the publication of the revised emission factors based on the energy mix (AIB residual mix) for 2024, which had not been available during the previous reporting period. As a result, revisions also arose in total emissions, emissions intensity, as well as in the energy consumption indicators relating to fossil, nuclear and renewable sources. The revised calculations, based on the most recent available data, enhance the accuracy of the relevant disclosures. The corresponding values are clearly identified in the relevant sections, together with references to the respective tables. The indicator “Number of days lost due to injuries and fatalities from work-related accidents, work-related ill health, and fatalities caused by work-related ill health”, as disclosed in the 2024 Sustainability Report, was identified as not being fully aligned with the corresponding definition under the ESRS standards, which affected the calculation methodology applied. The figure has now been updated to reflect the calendar days of absence directly linked to recordable incidents, in accordance with the ESRS definition. Both the originally reported and the revised values are presented in the relevant table, with clear distinction. The indicator “Percentage of employees covered by a certified occupational health and safety management system”, as disclosed in the previous year’s report, was also found not to be fully aligned with the corresponding ESRS definition and has been updated accordingly so as to reflect the total employee figure. Similarly, the indicator “Percentage of employees who participated in regular performance and career development reviews”, as disclosed in the Sustainability Report for the previous financial year was found not to be fully aligned with the corresponding definition under the ESRS standards. The indicator has therefore been updated so as to reflect the total employee figure, as required under ESRS S1-13. At the same time, a new indicator - “Number of performance reviews conducted in relation to the number of reviews agreed by management” - is also disclosed. This indicator had not been included in the previous year’s report and contributes to greater transparency and comparability. Both the revised and the originally reported values are presented in the relevant tables with clear labeling.

Presentation of comparative information and assurance
Comparative information for various indicators (three-year values) is presented in this report to facilitate a better understanding of the performance of the Group and the Company. Unless it is mentioned differently in the text, all KPIs disclosed do not have other assurance beyond the one of this disclosure. The values for 2024 had been assured as part of last year’s report.
Use of transitional provisions for phased implementation
As fiscal year 2025 marks the Company’s second reporting year, ElvalHalcor has applied phased-implementation provisions in accordance with Appendix C of ESRS 1, as extended by the “Quick Fix” delegated act of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards dated 11 July 2025, for the following requirements: ESRS 2 SBM-3 paragraph 48(e), ESRS E1-9, E3-5 and E5-6: Quantitative disclosures of anticipated financial effects of climate, water and resource use, and material risks and opportunities related to the circular economy. ESRS 2 SBM-1 paragraphs 40(b) and 40(c): Significant ESRS sector disclosures, pending the official issuance of the Commission’s delegated act pursuant to Article 29b(1), third subparagraph point (ii) of Directive 2013/34/EU.
References to Other Sections of the Report
Where information is published elsewhere in the report, specific cross-references with page numbers are used. This concerns disclosures related to the experience and remuneration of the Board of Directors (GOV-1, GOV-3), and/or references to financial figures discussed in the text.
Assumptions and Uncertainties
The data and assumptions used in the Report are, consistent with the corresponding financial data and assumptions in the Annual Financial Statements. In cases of uncertainty or assumptions regarding disclosed data, specific references are provided within the text, in accordance with ESRS 1, paragraph 7.2, to ensure accuracy and reliability.
Value chain information and time horizons
Information relating to the value chain appears in several sections of the report. The most significant information concerning ElvalHalcor’s upstream and downstream value chain is associated to due diligence, the indirect greenhouse gas emissions (scope 3), resource inputs, the responsible sourcing program, the product life cycle, etc. The accuracy level of the data related to the company’s own operations is very high. For the value chain data and specifically the Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions, efforts are being made to collect primary data from suppliers for Category 1, while appropriate, scientifically documented emission factors are used for the categories of the GHG Protocol that have been assessed as most material and represent the largest share of total Scope 3 emissions. Specifically for Category 1, the objective is to gradually reduce reliance on secondary emission factors derived from databases and industry bodies, which, although considered reliable, typically represent average or representative values rather than supplier-specific data. For the remaining Scope 3 categories, the level of accuracy provided through the use of secondary data is considered appropriate relative to their degree of materiality.
The time horizons used for all topics are consistent with those defined by the ESRS standards (0–1 short-term, 2–5 medi- um-term, and >5 long-term). An exception applies to climate-change-related topics, where the time horizons are defined as 0–1 short-term, 2–10 medium-term, and >10 long-term, in line with common industry practices and sector-specific characteristics (technological, scientific, etc.) that influence the maturity and implementation timelines of mitigation and resilience actions.
References to other sustainability standards or regulations and voluntary disclosures
Unless otherwise specifically indicated in the text, the use of other frameworks and standards referenced in the report, such as the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, is not subject to the current external assurance of the report. Additionally, the report includes certain voluntary disclosures intended to support company certifications or assessments, including, inter alia, the ATHEX ESG Index, the EcoVadis assessment, the CDP assessment, the ASI certification, references to stakeholder questionnaires, and others. These voluntary disclosures are clearly identified in the text and include information related to:

Business model and value chain
SBM-1
ElvalHalcor Hellenic Copper and Aluminium industry S.A. is a global industrial leader with 85 years of experience and expertise, offering aluminium and copper industrial products and solutions for dynamically growing markets, focused on sustainable operation and growth. The company was formed in December 2017 via the merger of Elval, a leading European aluminium recycling and rolling company, and Halcor, the largest copper tubing producer in Europe, and is listed in Athens Stock Exchange (ELHA). ElvalHalcor is located in Viotia, Greece, and alongside its subsidiaries operates 13 state-of-the-art production facilities in Greece and Bulgaria. Distribution of total personnel (direct and indirect employees) is 80% in Greece (3565), 20% in Bulgaria (872), and in Spain (9).
With a global and dynamic market presence in more than 90 countries, as well as a strong commercial network, ElvalHalcor seizes the opportunities from rapidly developing markets fueled by global megatrends (climate neutrality, circular economy, urbanization and e-mobility). The company leverages the unique properties of aluminium and copper to offer high value- added products and solutions, while also creating value for its shareholders and all its stakeholder groups. With a strong growth and export footprint, the company contributes significantly to Greece’s national economy. In 2025, the Group’s and the Company’s turnover was 3,6 and 2,5 billion euros respectively. More information about the financial results of the year can be found at the relevant chapters of the Annual Report (Statement of Profit or Loss, p. 168).
The product portfolio of ElvalHalcor presents a wide range, including, among others:
• Packaging (food and beverages)
• Transport (Sea, Road, rail)
• HVAC&R (heating, air conditioning, heat exchangers, pump systems)
• Building, Construction, and building installations
• Consumer goods and household utensils
• Energy and power networks
• Renewable energy applications
• Industrial Applications
The business model of ElvalHalcor consists of producing intermediate aluminium and copper products through the remelting of primary metal and the recycling of scrap, followed by their further processing (rolling/extrusion, coating, cutting into specific shapes and sizes, etc.). This positions the company in the middle of the respective aluminium and copper value chains, before the manufacturers of final products intended for consumer use. Upstream activities begin with the mining and processing of ore, followed by several stages leading to the production of primary metal, which is the main material used by the company. To ensure a stable and high-quality supply, ElvalHalcor maintains a global and robust supply chain, built on reliable partnerships, diversified networks, and strict due diligence procedures covering all aspects of metal procurement, from production practices to suppliers’ sustainability policies (more information is provided in the chapter on Responsible Procurement, p. 90).
Downstream activities include one or more processing stages leading to the final product and its distribution to end users. End-of-life collection and sorting constitute a strategic part of the company’s business model, as scrap is converted into raw material that can offset the consumption of primary metals. The inherent recyclability properties of aluminium and copper make these metals essential to the circular economy, driving dynamic markets, reducing environmental footprint and raw material consumption, and creating economically efficient opportunities. However, the life cycle of ElvalHalcor’s products varies significantly, and depends on their use and application, ranging from fast-moving consumer goods, such as aluminium beverage cans (a few weeks), to materials with lifespans of several decades, such as those used in building and construction.
Due to its activities in the production of secondary metals and intermediate products, ElvalHalcor has a significantly lower environmental footprint compared to upstream companies involved in the production of primary metals. The recycling and production of secondary metal are characterised by substantially lower resource intensity, offering advantages such as reduced energy consumption, lower greenhouse gas emissions, reduced water use, and lower waste generation.

Aluminium segment
Global market megatrends and circular economy targets have positively influenced the demand for aluminium solutions and products. Aluminium is a lightweight, durable, and recyclable metal that plays a significant role in a wide range of applications and solutions. Indicatively, in the food and beverage sector, aluminium packaging contributes to resource and energy efficiency, while its recyclability constitutes a cornerstone for waste reduction. Furthermore, the use of aluminium in cars, lorries, and marine vessels supports energy efficiency and enables electromobility.
Within the framework of Regulation (EU) 2024/1252 on Critical Raw Materials (Critical Raw Materials Act – CRMA), aluminium has been recognized as a Critical Raw Material (CRM) and included in the list of 34 CRMs. It was added due to its high economic importance and the risks associated with its supply chain. This classification supports the strengthening of domestic extraction, processing, and recycling within the EU, aiming to enhance the autonomy and sustainability of supply chains.
The aluminium segment of ElvalHalcor offers high-quality, innovative, sustainable, and competitive solutions, positioning the company as a leading player in the industry. The segment consists of Elval, the aluminium rolling division of ElvalHalcor, and the subsidiaries Symetal, Elval Colour, Anoxal, Vepal, and Viomal. Furthermore, Elval has established a joint venture with the Japanese group UACJ, under the name “UACJ – Elval Heat Exchanger Materials”, with the aim of providing advanced solutions and services to the automotive industry in Europe and other regions.
The aluminium rolling division of ElvalHalcor (Elval) specializes in high value-added flat rolled aluminium products and solutions for a wide range of applications across dynamic and growing markets. Elval’s production facilities are certified according to the following standards: ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, IATF 16949:2016, ISO 50001:2018, ISO 27001:2013, AS9100, Nadcap Accreditation, ASI Performance Standard, and ASI Chain of Custody Standard.
Copper segment
Like aluminium, copper has an inherently high recyclability, which provides it with a competitive advantage, with applications in the wire and cable industry, renewable energy, construction, and many others. ElvalHalcor's copper segment comprises Halcor, the copper and alloys extrusion division of ElvalHalcor, the subsidiaries Sofia Med (Bulgaria) and Epirus Metalworks, along with the joint ventures Halcor NNT (Greece) HC Isitma (Turkey) and NedZink (Netherlands), operate a production network of 8 facilities across 4 countries. Thanks to ElvalHalcor's strategic investments in research and development, the copper segment is recognized as one of the leading copper producers globally, setting new standards in industrial copper processing. All production facilities leverage advanced technologies to introduce innovative, energy-efficient products to the market for use in growing and dynamic markets. Although the copper supply chain does not present risks comparable to other CRMs, copper is included as a Strategic Raw Material due to its critical use in green transition and digitalization technologies.
The copper and alloys extrusion division of ElvalHalcor (Halcor) is the largest copper tubes producer in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), with more than 85 years of experience in metal processing. Halcor's facilities are certified in accordance with the following standards: ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, ISO 50001:2018, ISO 46001:2019, and the Company is a member of the Copper Mark standard.

Sustainability Strategy
SBM-1, SBM-3
Sustainability principles are an integral part of ElvalHalcor's strategy and culture and constitute a core parameter of business decisions. Responsible production using best available technologies, the development of products that contribute to climate change mitigation throughout their life cycle, the continuous improvement of environmental performance, the health and safety of employees and business partners, and the dynamic due diligence of its supply chain, are key commitments for ElvalHalcor. The Company has taken significant steps to establish a comprehensive strategic framework addressing the risks and opportunities associated with all sustainability matters, as reflected in its seven core policies . To this end, the process of determining strategic priorities was based on the assessment of material topics and the interests of key stakeholders, incorporating the priorities of customers and end users of the Company's products, suppliers, Group personnel, and local communities.
The Company's sustainability strategy is a dynamic and continuously evolving process, shaped and aligned with the challenges and opportunities faced by the Company and its subsidiaries. New processes, advanced technologies, market or regulatory pressures may require additional expenditure and investment. At the same time, competition from third countries with cheaper alternatives complicates the landscape, making it difficult for those investing in sustainable technologies to compete on price. Furthermore, limited raw material availability, particularly of scrap, poses significant challenges, while demand for sustainable products with increased recycled content intensifies. The sourcing of recycled metals can create risks, particularly during periods of high demand or market instability. ElvalHalcor actively monitors market and regulatory developments through dynamic participation in trade associations and industry working groups, guided by the principles set out in its policies and its commitment to a fair and sustainable industry across all sectors in which it operates.
In the context of assessing the resilience of ElvalHalcor's strategy and business model against material impacts, risks, and opportunities, the key strategic pillars supporting the Company's long-term adaptability and response capacity are presented below:
Energy transition
The ElvalHalcor Group has committed to gradually increasing the share of renewable energy sources (RES) in its energy mix, taking into account the technical, economic, and operational capabilities of existing technologies and the energy market. At the same time, the feasibility of self-generation of energy from RES is being systematically examined, with an emphasis on the installation of photovoltaic systems on suitable surfaces of production facilities (e.g. rooftops). Simultaneously, the Company is committed to the continuous improvement of its overall energy footprint and energy efficiency through investments in modern energy management systems, the implementation of best practices, and the optimization of production processes across all operational stages, contributing to the reduction of GHG emissions.
Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
The Group's commitment relates to a responsible production of aluminium and copper products with a view to aligning with global climate change targets and reducing GHG emissions. ElvalHalcor has set intermediate and long-term carbon emission reduction targets, developed through the identification of key drivers such as its production footprint, upstream supply chain emissions (Scope 3), and the recycled metal content in its products. At the same time, the Group's products contribute to supporting the climate and sustainability goals of its customers and the end users of their products.
Responsible Procurement
Supply chain due diligence has been identified as material to the Group's operations. The procurement of raw materials, the global distribution of the Company's supply chain, and the contribution of upstream activities to the overall environmental and carbon footprint have led to the development of a responsible procurement policy and process. The Group has established a strategic partnership with the internationally recognized EcoVadis assessment platform, through which it assesses its key suppliers against sustainability criteria, while systematically pursuing strong partnerships with its suppliers and business partners.
Continuous improvement in health and safety
The health and safety of employees and business partners is a top priority and a strategic commitment for the Group. In this context, the Group's companies develop and implement comprehensive training programs, equipment, and process improvement projects, as well as short-, medium-, and long-term action plans to improve performance in occupational health and safety (OHS), incident prevention, and the continuous engagement and awareness of personnel.

Sustainability training
Since 2022, an extensive training program on business ethics and sustainability has been underway, in collaboration with specialized external partners, complementing the various training programs implemented by Group companies. The program will continue in the upcoming years to cover all material sustainability topics.
Sustainability Governance
GOV-1, GOV-2, GOV-3, GOV-4, GOV-5
Effective corporate governance and structured oversight are critical aspects of the successful sustainability strategy implementation and the creation of long-term added value for all stakeholders. The implementation of relevant policies, actions, and initiatives is ensured through the active oversight of senior management and the Board of Directors (BoD), which play a decisive role in progress monitoring and decision-making.
The BoD consists of 12 members, of whom 4 are independent (representing 30%), 3 are executive, and 5 are non-executive members. The BoD consists of 75% men and 25% women, with extensive experience across various sectors of the Company. Further information on the composition, structure, roles, and responsibilities of BoD members is provided in Chapter 5.1 of the Annual Report.
To support the BoD's oversight of sustainability, due diligence, and policy adoption matters, the following responsibilities have been assigned to the Internal Audit and Risk Management Department:
• Identification of key risks, opportunities, and impacts for subsidiaries, and their consolidation at the Group level
• Implementation of due diligence and evaluation of the outcomes of policies, actions, and indicators related to risks and opportunities
• Oversight of sustainability reports and sustainability disclosures.
Following the approval of the double materiality results, the impacts, risks, and opportunities are integrated into the overall strategy. Many of these are already included in the Risk Appetite Framework (RAF), which covers strategic and operational objectives, investments, and processes. The General Directors of the two segments are members of the BoD and report on relevant matters as they arise.
ElvalHalcor has established appropriate governance structures at both the Group and subsidiary level to ensure the implementation of sustainability principles, actions, and targets across the full spectrum of activities. The BoD is supported by specialized personnel for monitoring performance and risks across all sustainability topics, including progress against targets where applicable. Beyond the functions of the Sustainability, Risk Management, and Audit Committee departments, as well as the relevant departments managing material topics (Environment, Health & Safety, Human Resources, etc.), a comprehensive governance framework has been developed comprising standardized procedures, policies, and institutionalized roles for individuals and committees. This framework covers all risks, opportunities, and impacts associated with the implementation of the sustainability strategy.
Each subsidiary has a sustainability coordinator responsible for monitoring performance across all metrics, implementing actions, and reporting to senior management (including General Directors and those reporting directly to them) on an annual or ad hoc basis. The two divisions of ElvalHalcor have Sustainability Departments that report directly to senior management (General Directors - BoD members). In addition, both divisions have representatives on the Sustainability Steering Committee of Steelmet. Steelmet is a subsidiary of the Viohalco Group that provides support services to subsidiary companies. The Sustainability Steering Committee's responsibilities include overall oversight, policy adoption, and the identification of material risks, opportunities, and impacts, as well as stakeholder engagement. Sustainability coordinators are specialized staff members and form part of broader teams which, depending on the issue, are composed of professionals from various departments, including Finance, Human Resources, Quality Assurance, Technology & Research, Development and Innovation, Environment, Health and Safety, Energy, Procurement, Marketing, Production, and others. The primary responsibilities of the Sustainability Departments of the two divisions and subsidiaries include:

• Identification of the most material impacts, risks, and opportunities;
• Monitoring and development of sustainability initiatives;
• Sustainability support in commercial and procurement projects;
• Ad hoc reporting to senior management on material issues, risks, opportunities, and performance, and regular (monthly) reports to the General Directorates of both segments on the most material topics such as Environment, emissions, OHS, progress of actions, monitoring of impacts, risks, and opportunities, and integration into internal procedures and policy implementation;
• Policy adoption, implementation of Group initiatives, performance assessment;
• Collaboration with internal and external stakeholders;
• Participation in various working groups, initiatives, and forums within the industry;
• Preparation, quality control, and management of sustainability disclosures and public information.
To highlight the critical role of senior management of subsidiaries in strategy implementation, since 2023, overall performance and management remuneration have been linked to sustainability-related targets and specific dynamic indicators. Performance is assessed against specific targets that have been set based on the Company's material topics, and taking into account the performance of comparable companies and competitors. The variable remuneration incentive program, which covers 20% of total compensation, is reviewed and adjusted on an annual basis, if necessary, to adapt to the ever- changing dynamics of the external environment, and is approved by the Board of Directors. These programs use clearly defined performance indicators and targets (14% H&S and 6% energy targets) with provision for incremental improvements in targeted areas within a specified timeframe. For 2025, the areas of focus were improvements in occupational health and safety, and targets for energy and energy performance in production operations. No direct GHG emission-related target was set for the incentive program, as the focus was on the energy performance of production facilities. Regarding health and safety, the incentive program focused on the implementation of capital expenditure projects, OHS competencies, safety governance issues, and the implementation of several new standard operating procedures within high-priority programs. Sustainability-related incentive programs do not apply to the remaining BoD members. Further information on BoD remuneration is available in the remuneration report in the Annual Report, page 139.
Transparency and risk management
The Company's sustainability policies, actions, and performance are of increasing importance to stakeholders, as a result of the interaction of the evolving regulatory framework, investment flows, and changing market expectations. To this end, the Group recognizes that transparent and reliable sustainability information is of paramount importance. All information concerning ElvalHalcor's performance and products is published in accordance with standards and technical specifications (ESRS, ISO 14021, ISO 14044, etc.), and the Company implements reliable management and primary data processing systems (e.g. Sphera Cloud, Intelex, SuccessFactors, etc.) and develops transparent targets with a detailed and realistic implementation plan and required resources.
Risks associated with sustainability reporting relate to regulatory guidance and the inherent complexity of the disclosed information. The most significant risks identified relate to data accuracy and quality, and to the collection of data from smaller or non-industrial subsidiaries included within the reporting scope. The sustainability coordinators of subsidiaries manage data quality, consolidation, and historical data risks. Sustainability-related risks are embedded in the Company's Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). The risk assessment and prioritization methodology and criteria are approved by the BoD, which is updated with an annual report together with the Audit Committee. In addition, the BoD receives a semi- annual report as well as progress updates on relevant KPIs.
The Group follows a standardized data collection process and applies consistent methodologies for data gathering across all segments and subsidiaries. All key performance indicators are clearly defined in accordance with the relevant ESRS standards definitions, and calculation methods are included in internal procedures and the relevant manual. Information is collected and verified on an annual basis. The sustainability coordinator of each division and subsidiary ensures the accuracy and reliability of data by maintaining detailed records and supporting documentation, ensuring transparency and traceability. With regard to data collection, specialized software is used, with access rights restricted exclusively to data managers and sustainability coordinators, to ensure that only authorized personnel can enter, modify, or review data.

Due Diligence
The strategy has been developed through the assessment of risks, opportunities, and impacts, and includes seven core policies. Said policies cover the following sustainability topics:
• Code of Business Conduct
• Code of Conduct for Business Partners
• Environment, Energy and Climate Change
• Occupational Health and Safety
• Sustainable Development
• Responsible Procurement
• Human Rights
The Code of Business Conduct, the Responsible Procurement Policy, and the Code of Conduct for Business Partners are addressed in the Business Conduct disclosure chapter (page 90). The Environment, Energy, and Climate Change policy is addressed in the Environment chapter (page 48). The Occupational Health and Safety and Human Rights policies are addressed in the Social Matters chapter (page 76). The Sustainable Development policy reflects the core pillars and fundamental principles of the sustainability strategy and sets out the overall approach to sustainability matters, including systematic stakeholder engagement and involvement. Responsibility for its implementation lies with the senior management of the divisions and subsidiaries.
To ensure compliance with policies, a documented due diligence framework has been developed, based on continuous monitoring and management systems. These systems are reviewed regularly and are subject to annual verification by accredited, independent external verification bodies, ensuring the reliability and transparency of the relevant processes. All production companies, are certified to ISO 14001:2015 for the Environmental Management System and ISO 45001:2018 for the Occupational Health and Safety Management System with the exception of Epirus Metalworks. Furthermore, the two divisions of the Company and the subsidiaries Symetal, Elval Colour, and Sofia Med are certified to ISO 50001:2018 for the Energy Management System.
The effectiveness of management systems for environment, energy, and occupational health and safety is assessed through various indicators, progress on improvement action plans, and adherence to relevant procedures. Moreover, a due diligence process for human rights and responsible procurement has been adopted, covering both internal operations and the supply chain. The due diligence process includes a human rights risk assessment and a mitigation process of identified risks. In the context of the Responsible Procurement process, the Group implements a Supplier Code of Conduct and collaborates with EcoVadis to assess sustainability performance across the supply chain. EcoVadis evaluates suppliers based on criteria relating to environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and responsible procurement. The purpose of this initiative is to identify and mitigate upstream potential sustainability risks.
ElvalHalcor continuously pursues best practices and modern governance structures, in collaboration with the Sustainability Departments and the Risk Management Department, which monitors material indicators on a semi-annual basis and reports to the BoD.

Double Materiality Assessment
GOV-2, IRO-1, IRO-2, BP-2, SBM-2, SBM-3
Methodology
The Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) process underpinning the Company's sustainability disclosures is based on the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). By taking into account both the Company's impacts on the environment/society and the financial effects on the Company, the assessment provides a comprehensive and documented understanding of the material risks, opportunities, and impacts faced by the companies, as well as the manner in which they are incorporated into strategy and operational decisions. The principles of the assessment are presented below:
• A sustainability topic is material from an impact perspective when it relates to material actual or potential, positive or negative impacts of the Company on people or the environment in the short, medium, or long term.
• A sustainability topic is material from a financial perspective if it causes or could reasonably be expected to cause material financial effects on the Company.
Group-level disclosure ensures comprehensive coverage of all business segments with regard to the identification and assessment of material impacts, risks, and opportunities. To accurately capture the distinctions and specificities of the two metals, a bottom-up approach was applied, initially assessing subsidiaries at a separate level, then the aluminium and copper segments, before consolidating the results at the Group level.
This ensured that the specific characteristics and potential particularities of each segment, as well as of each individual company, were captured in the identification and assessment of material impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs) and the related dependencies. An assessment was conducted to determine whether there were “triggering factors” that would require an update of the DMA, and none were identified; consequently, no changes were made to the DMA for 2025.
A four-stage process was applied across both segments:
• Overview and Framework: The Group's companies and ultimately segments mapped their activities, assets, relationships, and value chains, joint ventures and collaborations, as well as key stakeholders. The mapping scope extended beyond Tier 1 to include suppliers of suppliers (up to raw material extraction) and customers' customers (up to final product manufacturers). An assessment was conducted of global megatrends and segment exposures, as well as the most significant regulatory frameworks affecting current and future business activities. The mapping and identification of the key stakeholder framework is an integral part of the process, encompassing shareholders, investors, customers and suppliers, local communities, employees, national and global institutions, NGOs, authorities, and the scientific community.
• Impacts, Risks and Opportunities: Individual Group's companies and subsequently the two segments identified actual and potential impacts, risks, and opportunities associated with all topics relevant to their operations and value chains. The outcome of this stage was a list of impacts, risks, and opportunities for further assessment and analysis, using qualitative and quantitative criteria. The ESRS list of sustainability topics was used as the starting template (ESRS 1, Disclosure Requirement 16). For a thorough identification of topics across the value chain, segments reviewed publicly available information (sustainability reports) from industry peers, customers, and suppliers. Furthermore, for Tier 2 (suppliers of suppliers and further downstream manufacturers with whom there are no direct relationships), assessments and materiality maps from the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and MSCI were also used. This process includes a relevance scoring (negligible, low, moderate, high) for each topic, applying different weighting coefficients for each part of the value chain, and refining the initial list of topics. All actual or potential, negative or positive impacts on people or the environment, in the short, medium, or long term, were documented. The following time horizon definitions were applied, as specified by the ESRS: short-term (0–1 years), medium-term (1–5 years), and long-term (>5 years). However, for climate-related topics, the time horizons defined by the Company are respectively 0–1 year, 2–10 years, and >10 years. This choice was based on the long-term impact of climate change and was considered most appropriate to more accurately capture the effects and actions of the Group companies.
• Assessment of Impacts, Risks and Opportunities: At this stage, following the consolidation of results at the Group and Company levels level, the two segments applied specific criteria to assess impacts and financial materiality, to identify material actual and potential impacts, risks, and opportunities.
A sustainability topic is considered material from an impact perspective when it is associated with significant actual or potential, positive or negative impacts of the organization on people or the environment in the short, medium, or long term. Impacts include those connected to the Company's own operations as well as the upstream and downstream value chain, whether through its products and services or through its business relationships. For actual negative impacts, the materiality assessment was based on the severity of the impact. The severity was determined based on: (a) scale; (b) scope; and (c) the irremediable character of the impact (for negative impacts only).
Annual Report 2025
39
For potential impacts, both the likelihood of occurrence and severity were examined. Specifically, in the case of a potential negative impact on human rights, severity prevailed over likelihood. For positive impacts, materiality was based on: (a) scale and scope (for actual impacts), and (b) scale, scope, and likelihood (for potential impacts). The assessment of impacts — whether negative or positive, actual or potential — was conducted based on common scoring criteria for both segments. Scoring criteria were established through a structured scale (0–5), accompanied by clear and specific descriptions for each assessment component. For each parameter — such as scale, scope, irremediable character, magnitude, and likelihood — the criteria defined with precision what each score represented. This level of definition was critical for the consolidation process, ensuring that all segments conducted the impact, risk, and opportunities assessment based on the same methodology and that results were applied consistently.
A sustainability topic is considered material from a financial perspective when it creates or is expected to create material financial effects. This occurs when it involves risks or opportunities that have or may have a material effect on the Company's development, financial position, financial performance, cash flows, access to financing, or cost of capital, in the short, medium, or long term.
Material risks and opportunities typically derive from impacts, dependencies, or other factors such as changes in legislation. The materiality of risks and opportunities is assessed based on the combination of likelihood of occurrence and the potential magnitude of financial effects across the various time horizons. Risks and opportunities may relate to past or future events and may affect assets or liabilities, either already recognised in the financial statements or that may be recognised in the future. The assessment of risks and opportunities was also based on common scoring criteria, while an internally developed methodology was used rather than risk assessment tools available in the market.
Stakeholder Engagement
During the assessment process, the segments used reliable internal representatives as proxies for stakeholder groups. Specifically, interviews were conducted with subject-matter experts who had knowledge of the needs and expectations of specific groups and provided critical feedback during the risk and opportunity assessment, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the process.
Determination of Materiality Thresholds
Based on the aforementioned criteria, a sustainability topic was considered material from an impact perspective when the average score in terms of severity and/or likelihood exceeded a pre-determined value. The materiality threshold was deliberately not disclosed during the process to avoid any potential scoring bias. The internal materiality threshold was set at 3.5 out of 5, calculated as the average of the relevant scoring elements. This specific value served as a reference point for objective assessment, ensuring consistency and comparability.
During the final phase of determining materiality from the perspective of impacts, financial effects, or both, the subsidiaries within each sector compiled the material impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs) by topic. In cases where multiple impacts, risks, or opportunities had been identified for a specific topic, the score of the highest-rated IRO was used for the overall ranking, regardless of whether the impact was actual or potential, positive or negative. This means that positive impacts were not offset against negative ones, and financial opportunities were not offset against risks. Furthermore, impacts from the entity’s own operations were not offset against those from the value chain. When material impacts in the value chain were identified, they were assessed and reported separately.
Assessment of Near-Threshold IROs
In cases of risks or impacts that were close to the materiality threshold and whose classification was not clear, additional steps were taken to determine whether they were material or not. All relevant information was reassessed, and long-term trends related to the specific topics and their connection with the company’s strategic objectives were evaluated. Lastly, senior management participated actively in the review of these near-threshold cases, confirming the final decisions on whether to include them or not, in line with the organization’s strategic direction.
Consolidation
For the consolidation of the material topics at Group level, criteria were applied that served as weighting factors for each subsidiary. A customized approach was adopted using all three separate criteria. For environmental assessments, energy consumption served as the approximate value, as it best reflects environmental impact and correlates with various other indicators. For the assessment of labor and social impacts, the number of employees was used, as it highlights human capital. Finally, for governance and overall financial performance, capital expenditure was defined as the approximate value, linking governance-related materiality with financial exposure.
ElvalHalcor

The final results of the assessment were presented to the General Management for their formal approval, while the Risk Management Department was part of the process. In 2025, several of the material topics were addressed by the management of the companies, such as regulatory provisions related to carbon through the ETS and CBAM mechanisms, as well as those related to the circular economy through the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, along with Health and Safety issues, among others.
The process described above has not yet been formally integrated into the risk management procedures.
Results
The results of the Double Materiality Assessment are presented in the table below. Information on the impacts, risks and opportunities for each material sustainability topic is available in the relevant disclosure chapter. It is noted that the disclosure includes information on additional topics as well as certain supplementary measurement indicators in order to meet the expectations of stakeholders, including sustainability rating bodies in which the Company participates. Finally, it is noted that the identified future financial effects cannot be directly recognized in the financial statements as they relate to future risks and opportunities. Even when these materialize within the reporting period, they are not presented separately in the financial statements (e.g. emissions trading scheme (ETS) expenditure), while certain risks may affect the companies indirectly or in a qualitative manner (e.g. impact of reduced productivity due to inadequate training).
The double materiality assessment process is continuous and dynamic. The Sustainability Statement includes the table of data points arising from other regulatory frameworks, pursuant to Appendix ΙΙ of ESRS 2 (page 101) while Appendix Ι (p. 96) shows where the disclosure requirements are located. Based on the results, ESRS E2, ESRS E4, ESRS S3 and ESRS S4 standards were assessed as non-material and the relevant disclosure requirements are not included. Regarding ESRS E2 and E4, the non-materiality of these topics derives from both the biodiversity study conducted by the Company every three years in collaboration with an external partner, and from the Environmental Approval Decisions (EADs) of the subsidiaries. The biodiversity study does not identify any material risks, impacts, or ecosystem services that may be affected by the company’s operations, and no scenarios have been used. Given that the Group’s production activities are not in close proximity to protected areas or ecosystems, no specific measures have been taken. The Group has reviewed its activities and operating areas to identify, using the same criteria within the context of double materiality assessment, actual and potential risks, impacts and opportunities related to E2 and E4. Given that subsidiaries operate in industrial areas, and in the absence of dependencies and influences on adjacent ecosystems, the Group has not undertaken structured engagement with local communities on this specific topic, beyond its permanent, open communication and support on all local community matters. Impacts are identified upstream in the value chain and are limited to raw material extraction activities (bauxite, copper). Regarding pollution (E2), certain impacts were identified relating to point-source spills or emissions beyond greenhouse gases, primarily from foundry processes, but with limited impact and minimal remediation resources required, given the best available technologies and measures adopted by subsidiaries. Furthermore, these matters are also criteria in the environmental operating permits of subsidiaries and form part of systematic monitoring to ensure compliance, managed by specialized Environment departments within each company.
The materiality of the information is determined in accordance with the qualitative criteria of ESRS 1 (Section 3.2), taking into account the significance of the identified IROs, while no quantitative thresholds were applied for the second reporting cycle.

More specifically, with regard to material impacts (impact materiality):
Climate Change and Energy
ElvalHalcor's activities, as well as activities along the value chain, generate GHG emissions, directly contributing to climate change. The production processes of both segments are particularly energy-intensive, requiring thermal and electrical energy, primarily from non-renewable sources. This impact is even more pronounced upstream, where energy intensity and carbon footprint are significantly higher. At the same time, aluminium and copper products contribute to the energy transition through applications in RES and electromobility, while their recyclability supports a sustainable, circular low- carbon economy.

Water Management
The abstraction of water from natural sources has a significant adverse environmental impact, particularly due to the heightened water availability risks in the broader Mediterranean region. Aluminium and copper production requires water as a coolant and for other critical processes. Although the double materiality assessment did not identify material risks in relation to water, the long-term risk of water resource availability has been identified as an outcome of chronic natural risks, based on climate scenarios. Water availability primarily affects operations in Greece, as the country is considered water-stressed according to the Aqueduct Global Water Risk Atlas. The time horizon for this risk is long-term (10+ years) and could potentially give rise to increased energy costs for water recycling and/or desalination technologies, related direct and indirect emissions and waste.

Responsible Procurement
Inadequate due diligence in the procurement chain is of major significance in terms of the footprint carried by raw materials in products and adverse impacts on people and the environment upstream, such as inadequate health and safety and rights violations. The implementation of responsible procurement procedures by the Company can mitigate these impacts from upstream value chain activities and risks to the environment and society, while building robust value chains.

Climate Change and Energy
The operations of the Group’s companies are subject to carbon regulations such as the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) for ElvalHalcor and Sofia Med, and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) for aluminium subsidiaries. The implementation of CBAM is expected to increase raw material costs due to additional import levies, affecting production costs and competitiveness. Meanwhile, concerns exist over the potential avoidance of these levies by third-country producers at the expense of European production. The possibility of such a distorted framework could lead to increased imports of competitive products, while the gradual phase-out of free ETS allowances from 2026 onwards is expected to lead to an indirect increase in thermal energy costs, as natural gas consumption and its emissions affect the operating costs of companies. The volatility of energy prices and the complexity of regulatory initiatives constitute significant transition risks arising from the integration of RES into the mix, energy storage costs, and grid expansion to accommodate RES. The balance of the energy transition is of critical importance to many industries and an important regulatory topic. Furthermore, potential water resource scarcity in the long term would imply increased operational costs for the Company, as well as the associated energy expenditure for water recycling. All the aforementioned transition risks are further analyzed in the Environment chapter (page 48). Regarding opportunities, the Group leverages the properties of copper and aluminium to provide solutions for the energy transition (heat exchangers, electromobility, RES technologies) and circular products with high recycled content (%) and inherent recyclability.

Identification of Climate-Related Risks and Opportunities
Based on identified actual and potential, negative and positive impacts, climate change and energy management represent a broad spectrum of risks and opportunities with direct financial and business implications. The risks and opportunities relate to the market and regulatory environment and are material, affecting the Company's operations in the short, medium, and long term. To strengthen the identification and management of ElvalHalcor's climate and energy risks and opportunities, identified through the Double materiality Assessment the Company followed the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Disclosures) guidelines for the submission of a relevant report in 2023. The TCFD Report further supported the Company's commitment to transparency and open communication with all stakeholders regarding climate-related risks. Furthermore, the findings contributed to the double materiality assessment process and to the assessment of climate-related risks and opportunities.
It is important to note that the TCFD was conducted prior to the DMA, and within its context, certain additional risks related to climate scenarios were assessed, while the double materiality assessment was conducted for the full spectrum of risks and opportunities in accordance with ESRS requirements. Furthermore, to comprehensively assess and manage climate and energy-related risks and opportunities, and to communicate its approach, Sofia Med participated in the TCFD framework implemented in 2023 for ElvalHalcor, and specifically, it is covered in the Copper Segment section of the relevant Report.
Within this context, Sofia Med has identified opportunities related to the development of new low-carbon footprint and circular economy products, such as products with increased recycled content, energy-efficient HVAC systems, and digital technologies. The Company is taking appropriate measures to address identified risks and capitalize on relevant opportunities, with a focus on improving energy efficiency, close monitoring and management of EU ETS-related matters, strengthening governance practices regarding product carbon footprint and transparency, and the promotion of the circular economy.
The TCFD guidelines are based on four primary pillars of stakeholder interest: Governance, strategy, risk identification and management, and related measurement and performance indicators. The report covers all transition and natural risks in the short-, medium-, and long-term based on relevant climate scenarios, as well as opportunities in relation to the Company's products. The transition risks identified include unstable energy prices, carbon levies, impacts of the EU ETS and CBAM systems, while natural risks relate to extreme weather events and water availability. Opportunities were primarily associated with low-carbon products and their cyclical economy characteristics, in line with global market megatrends. Both transition risks and opportunities are expected to materialize primarily in the short-to-medium term, i.e. in 0–10 years), while physical risks, such as extreme weather events and water availability, are expected over the long term (10+ years). The information in the tables below is considered when defining strategy, financial planning, and the daily operations of the two segments. The scope of the report covered the industrial facilities of the Group, namely ElvalHalcor and Sofia Med, while the same risk framework and overall governance apply equally at the subsidiary and asset level in Greece.

The climate-related risks and opportunities presented in the tables above served as the basis for the analysis conducted regarding the resilience of the organization’s strategy. ElvalHalcor intends to update its climate scenario analysis when more recent climate models become available, in order to incorporate a scenario consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. As projections for extreme weather events, droughts, and other climate-related risks become more specific, the scenarios will be adapted to reflect the most recent scientific data. Updated TCFD reports will subsequently be issued to incorporate the revised assumptions and assessments.
The long-term commitments relating to climate change and carbon footprint presuppose the gradual transformation of production processes at critical points in the value chain, with particular emphasis on the primary production of aluminium and copper, where significant emissions and associated climate risks are concentrated. As Scope 3 emissions represent the largest share of total emissions, ElvalHalcor's targets are inherently linked to those of its suppliers and business partners. Another key factor in reducing dependence on primary materials is the recycling of scrap and secondary aluminium and copper. However, products have different life cycles, and the quantity and quality of secondary materials depend on collection and recycling programs at the national and global level.
The resilience analysis was based on two scenarios, aiming to assess potential natural and transition risks and opportunities over the medium- and long-term horizons. Those horizons are aligned with the time horizons used for the identification of impacts, risks, and opportunities across all material topics, and particularly for climate change, based on the double materiality assessment. The selected time horizons were determined by taking into account the expected useful life of the companies’ existing assets, as well as strategic planning cycles and capital allocation frameworks. At the same time, they were aligned with key international and European climate milestones, specifically the years 2030 and 2050, in accordance with the decarbonization strategy of the European Union and the targets of the Paris Agreement.
The analysis was based on two internationally recognized climate scenarios, covering a realistic range of future developments: SSP2-4.5, representing a moderate emissions stabilization scenario where socioeconomic and technological trends evolve in line with historical patterns (“middle of the road”), and SSP5-8.5, representing a high-emissions scenario with limited climate policy, intensive fossil fuel dependence and heightened exposure to natural climate related risks. The choice of these specific scenarios allows the Company to assess its resilience both under conditions of gradual transition to a lower- carbon economy and under conditions of intensifying climate change, in line with TCFD and ESRS guidelines.
Under the SSP2-4.5 scenario, the analysis focuses primarily on transition risks, such as the strengthening of the climate regulatory framework, changes in energy costs, emission reduction requirements, and shifts in customer and market preferences. At the same time, opportunities related to energy efficiency improvement, innovation, and business model adaptation are also assessed. Under the SSP5-8.5 scenario, the analysis focuses primarily on natural risks, including increased temperatures, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, and the potential impacts on business continuity, supply chains, and Group's assets. The key assumptions for the two scenarios are presented in Table 15.

The analysis primarily covers the company’s core activities and facilities and focuses on the operations considered to be most exposed to climate-related natural and transition risks. Elements of the upstream and downstream value chain are included to a limited extent, mainly in relation to potential disruptions in the supply chain and changes in the market and demand. Due to the complexity of fully mapping the value chain, certain risks that may be associated with second- or third-tier suppliers, as well as indirect impacts on end users, were not included in the present analysis.

The combination of climate scenarios and their potential impact on financial performance, along with the overall assessment for the two segments, is presented in Table 15. The company faces a similar potential impact in both segments, with the main additional difference being the exposure of the aluminium segments to the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which entered its implementation phase in early 2026.

Risks were identified and assessed on the basis of financial impact, using the same financial KPI, i.e. capital employed, as well as qualitative analysis. The identified risks were subsequently re-assessed within the double materiality context, and the classification of financial impact magnitude was aligned with the same scoring scale.
The analysis focused primarily on the medium- and long-term horizon, as climate risks materialize progressively and affect the Company's long-term strategy and viability. The medium-term horizon was used primarily for the assessment of transition risks under the SSP2-4.5 scenario, as changes in regulatory requirements, energy costs and markets are expected to affect the Company within its strategic cycle, while the long-term horizon was applied for the assessment

Overall, the resilience analysis for ElvalHalcor, consistent with the key assumptions used in the financial statements, including estimates in relation to the useful life of fixed assets and market prospects, showed that there are no assets and, consequently, related revenues exposed to material acute or persistent natural risk in the short-to-medium term. Therefore, no specific adaptation actions to the physical risks identified in the scenarios have yet been scheduled. From the analysis and the nature of the Group's production process, no assets or business activities emerged as inherently incompatible with the transition to climate neutrality. However, it is recognized that certain energy-intensive activities require ongoing investment effort to improve energy efficiency, reduce GHG emissions, and align with the European taxonomy of sustainable activities (Regulation (EU) 2021/2139). The Company systematically monitors technological developments and regulatory requirements to ensure the gradual alignment of its activities, and has set specific emission reduction targets. However, it is recognized that as future climate change scenarios evolve, the resilience of its assets will be re-assessed against natural risks to ensure continuous adaptability and preparedness, for both short-/medium-term and long-term natural risks.

Introduction: Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities
Climate change and energy management have been identified as material sustainability topics for the ElvalHalcor Group. Given the business model, the value chain's energy footprint, and the critical role of the company's products in the transition to a low-carbon circular economy, the company and its subsidiaries place particular emphasis on energy consumption and associated carbon emissions. This approach is applied across the entire lifecycle, covering both own operations and those of suppliers and customers.
The Group, as part of the aluminium and copper value chains, contributes to climate change through direct and indirect carbon emissions from the energy used in production. While the energy and carbon footprint of products largely originates from the supply chain, the operations of the companies are characterized by high-intensity electrical and thermal energy requirements and currently rely on non-renewable sources.
At the same time, aluminium and copper products and applications create significant opportunities for the Group, as the growing demand for materials that contribute to and promote the circular economy, low product lifecycle emissions, and the development of renewable energy sources strengthen its strategic position in the market. The inherent recyclability of the two metals, combined with their wide range of applications, enables the Group to respond to market needs for sustainable solutions, creating growth prospects, enhanced competitiveness, and expansion into new application sectors. Moreover, the growing emphasis on sustainability and industrial decarbonization reinforces the ability of the Group's companies to leverage new business opportunities across the entire value chain, contributing both to long-term business growth and to shaping a more sustainable industrial future.
Policies
ElvalHalcor and its subsidiaries are committed to actively contributing to the global effort to address climate change, implementing mitigation and adaptation measures, as well as modern technologies and practices aimed at developing low- carbon products and circular solutions. The Environmental, Energy, and Climate Change Policy, as well as the integration of Climate Change and Energy into the Business Code of Conduct and the Business Partners Code of Conduct, align ElvalHalcor with international frameworks, such as the Paris Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 7 and 13).
The policy covers the full scope of the Group's activities and the regions in which it operates, while the Business Partners Code of Conduct (p. 92), through which the upstream value chain is taken into account, encourages the Group's partners to adopt energy-saving practices and reduce their carbon footprint.
The policy focuses on four key areas: climate change impact mitigation, adaptation to climate challenges, energy efficiency, and the use of renewable energy sources (RES). It is guided by the principles of transparency and the adoption of best international practices and frameworks, ensuring proper measurement and disclosure of performance indicators for carbon emissions and energy consumption. Responsibility for implementing the policy lies with the Directors of the Environmental departments and company management, and it was developed with due consideration for the interests of all stakeholders. The Policy, as all other Group policies, is available to all employees through various digital channels and is directly accessible on the corporate websites.
Actions and targets
The Group and its subsidiaries acknowledge their responsibility for the transition to a low-carbon emission circular economy, concerning their impacts, risks, and hazards, but also to the opportunities arising from their products. Based on strategy and policies, the subsidiaries develop action plans to reduce their emissions. The Group and its subsidiaries do not yet have a comprehensive climate transition plan, but the policy is implemented through specific actions and emission reduction targets. Responding to the dynamic needs of the market and the priorities of stakeholders, the subsidiaries are working to integrate their targets and actions into a comprehensive mitigation and climate change response plan, to embed it in the Group's strategy. For climate-related impacts concerning resource use and water management, the policies, actions, and targets are described in the relevant chapters that follow. All actions, including investments, procurement and R&D, are implemented using the subsidiaries' own resources. It is noted that the Group's companies are not excluded from the Paris-Aligned Benchmarks.

Energy is a critical factor for the operation of ElvalHalcor and its subsidiaries. ElvalHalcor, Sofia Med, Symetal, Elval Colour, and Epirus Metalworks are certified under ISO 50001:2018. Energy consumption has significant implications for the productivity, competitiveness, and the company’s sustainability performance . ElvalHalcor, which bears the largest energy footprint within the Group, has developed a holistic energy management action plan.
The operational carbon footprint is directly linked to energy consumption and its sources. The Group has set a target to expand renewable energy (RES) production through additional solar installations, following initial installations in previous years at ElvalHalcor and subsidiaries Viomal and Elval Colour. This production has a direct impact on Scope 2 indirect emissions of the companies, as it replaces energy from the provider's energy mix, which includes fossil fuels, with clean, zero-emission energy. For companies with lower energy consumption, such as Viomal, this effect can reach up to 50% of energy needs and a proportionate reduction in Scope 2 emissions. For ElvalHalcor's aluminium rolling division, expansion plans are at the pre-feasibility stage, with the expected investment estimated at €2.5 million, including roof retrofitting. Operating photovoltaics requires no additional operating expenditure (OpEx). However, in order to cover all electricity needs for both segments, the company intends to use power purchase agreements with providers and to gradually transition to RES by 2030.
At the same time, with regard to energy consumption, the purchase and implementation of an energy management system (Viridis Energy & Sustainability Suite) represent an important milestone in the company's progress. The total investment cost from 2023 to 2025 has amounted to €530k, with committed orders of ~€130k for 2026. Εxpenditure (2025) of ~€170k is included in paragraph 8 (Expenses) of the Financial Statements (p. 193). The project aims to use advanced technology tools for real-time monitoring of consumption and data, with automated machine learning for target calculation, detailed reporting, and assessment of overall consumption. The project has passed the preparatory stage and is now in the implementation stage, intending to support the aluminium rolling division's efforts to improve energy performance and quantify specific energy targets from its operation within 2026, when delivery from the supplier will be completed.
The aforementioned actions are currently not correlated to the Taxonomy indicators, either because they relate to costs outside the reporting year (the PV installations) or because the project does not fall under the Taxonomy (Energy Management).
The operational footprint, however, represents only a small percentage of the overall environmental burden from the extraction of raw materials to the subsidiaries' gate (cradle-to-gate), as well as of the total greenhouse gas emissions associated with the final product. To this end, climate change mitigation actions and carbon footprint reduction are directly linked to supply chain performance. The Group purchases raw materials through a global network of producers and traders with varying carbon emission performance. A key objective is continuous cooperation with suppliers to reduce their emissions, transition to RES and develop common targets for decarbonization. For this purpose, many actions are being implemented, including participation in technical and scientific collaborations/working groups and forums, and the overall effort to reduce the percentage of primary metal through the use of scrap, etc. To implement this plan, the Group's subsidiaries utilize human resources and specialized tools, with actions described in the Responsible Procurement section (p. 92) as well as in the resource use section (p. 59). Financial outflows are not identified separately but are included in metal costs and third-party expenses (Paragraph 8 of the Financial Statements). Future outflows cannot be determined at this stage, particularly about the cost of lower-footprint metal or secondary metal. The past and future impact of the described actions are included in ElvalHalcor's emission reduction action plan described below, and they are not directly linked to any specific Taxonomy indicator.
In view of the foregoing, ElvalHalcor has developed an emission reduction plan aligned with its business strategy for 2030 and a commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Although a group-level roadmap and comprehensive climate transition plan have not yet been finalized, ElvalHalcor's action plan covers 87% of the Group's emissions. By incorporating the targets of subsidiaries Sofia Med and Symetal within the next year, the goal is to develop a Group-level plan based on the Paris Agreement.

ElvalHalcor's action plan targets direct and indirect emissions from operations (Scopes 1 and 2) and the supply chain (Scope 3, categories 1 & footnote 3 ). It results from the integration of the actions and initiatives of both segments for the same time horizons, against the 2019 reference baseline, taking also into account the expectations, ambitions and targets of various stakeholders, with emphasis on the downstream value chain, through the mechanisms described in the relevant communication chapter (p. 36) as well as from market trends and directions, the corresponding plans of industries at the same position in the value chain, and the targets and ambitions of trade associations and suppliers. 2019 was selected as the reference year as it marks the beginning of the major investment phase in the aluminium rolling division and the corresponding increase in the company's production capacity with new equipment. Due to the significant impact of these investments, 2019 was selected as the consolidated base year for ElvalHalcor. The base year values relate to the same processes, and their calculation followed the same methodology used by the company today, thereby ensuring their comparability. Scope 1 emissions were calculated based on and verified against the ETS; Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were calculated in the same way based on actual energy consumption data, whereas Scope 3 emissions (categories 1 and 4) were calculated using secondary data from that period, using the same libraries and tools. Target-setting has taken into account all types of greenhouse gases and covers 100% of Scope 1 and Scope 2 (location-based), as well as approximately 90% of total emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3), as presented in Table 15. Total Emissions. Accordingly, the reference year indicators are considered representative in relation to the activities and operations of the company and are calculated as follows:
Total operational emissions (scopes 1&2): 288.5kt CO₂eq
Specific emission intensity across all scopes (scope 1&2&3.1&3.4): 9.2t CO₂eq/t product
The key tools for developing the plan include lifecycle assessments of key products (LCAs), monitoring of current and future projects and technologies relevant to the industry in general and to the aluminium and copper industry in particular, collaboration with suppliers for the collection of carbon emission data, and the use of recognized databases. Within the emission reduction target plan, all other Scope 3 categories are considered constant, representing less than 15% of total category emissions. The 50% absolute emission reduction target for Scopes 1 and 2 is aligned with the Paris Agreement. As the roadmap to 2030 includes significant production growth, and consequently, the need to purchase more raw materials, the company is examining the means and available technologies to also achieve alignment on Scope 3 reduction targets, either through absolute reduction or by engaging suppliers to develop their own science-based targets. Nevertheless, all targets have taken into account the climate scenarios (p. 46) and the potential influences of technological, environmental, regulatory, and social developments on the selected decarbonization levers. The chosen actions are fully in line with existing best available techniques and practices relevant to the aluminium and copper industries and industry in general, and technologies and actions whose technological maturity or economic viability extends beyond 2030 (e.g., the complete replacement of fossil fuels with hydrogen technologies) have not been included. The company continuously monitors developments across all sectors and participates in relevant working groups to adjust, when deemed necessary, both its actions and targets.
The company's 2030 targets are:
• Absolute emission reduction (tonnes CO₂ equivalent) of Scopes 1 and 2 by 50% (2030 vs. 2019)
• Total emission intensity reduction (tonnes CO₂ equivalent/t product) of Scopes 1, 2 and 3 (cat. 1&4) by 35% (2030 vs. 2019)
• Absolute reduction in total emissions (1&2&3.1&3.4) by 10%, from 3.28 million t to 2.96 million t (2030 vs. 2019)
The key assumptions for target-setting relate to the company's projected production based on budgeted production capacity, the projected share of primary and secondary metal consumption, the gradual transition to RES for electricity supply from renewable sources, and the assumption that the primary metal suppliers of the base year will remain in the main supplier mix and will achieve the expected emission reductions in accordance with their published roadmaps.
To achieve these targets, ElvalHalcor has prioritized the following actions:
• Increase in the use of secondary aluminium (recycled content percentage) in aluminium and copper products and replacement of the primary aluminium and copper. The main strategy regarding recycling and the company's actions is described in the circular economy chapter on p. 59. Said replacement is expected to largely offset the increased emissions associated with the rise in production, improving the specific performance towards the 35% target and the overall reduction across all scopes (-10%).
Due to an oversight, Category 4 (emissions from upstream transportation) was missing from last year’s document despite the inclusion of the emissions.
Annual Report 2025

• Gradual transition to RES for electricity by 2030 and, consequently, a reduction in indirect emissions (Scope 2). The company's approach is to finalize power purchase agreements with suppliers and, secondarily, to maximize its own production from RES, primarily through photovoltaics. The expected outcome of the transition to renewables is a 100% reduction of Scope 2 indirect emissions (market-based) and a 50% reduction of all operational emissions.
• Overall improvement in energy efficiency for both electrical and thermal energy, through the optimization of production processes, advanced energy management, and technological upgrades. The impact of this target on energy consumption is expected to be quantified during 2026; however, the impact on operational emissions (1&2) is superseded by the transition to RES.
• Continuous collaboration with existing and potential suppliers to accelerate their respective emission reduction efforts, to reduce the indirect emission footprint of both divisions (Scope 3, category 1). According to the suppliers' published roadmaps and the emission reductions they have declared up to 2030, the standalone reduction in emission intensity of incoming metal (Scope 3, cat. 1) can reach up to -18%. The overall contribution to the -10% absolute emission reduction target, factoring in the increase in incoming metal due to production growth and the partial replacement of this increase through the use of secondary metal, is approximately -3%.
Furthermore, the Company has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, having identified the key decarbonization levers required to support its long-term transition pathway. Following the implementation of decarbonization actions, any limited residual emissions that will not be technically or economically feasible to reduce further will be addressed through the selective use of high-quality carbon credits. For 2050, the key assumptions include the technological maturity of replacing natural gas with RES, an increase in metal recycling capacity so that the recycled content in products reaches up to 70%, further decarbonization of primary metal production, as well as technological developments related to electrification, the use of emission-free coatings, etc.
The company has included in its target-setting all committed emissions within its technological and production capabilities, and is assessing the targets it has set with a view to submitting them for validation to the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). At present, no specific pathway for aluminium or copper has been introduced in SBTi's modelling approaches. The general Absolute Contraction Approach (ACA) requires a 47.54% reduction in operational emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) by 2030. However, the company's organic growth and production projected for 2030 (with a consequent increase in raw material procurement) can only be aligned with a sector-specific pathway sensitive to growth, similar to other sectors and industries. Both segments are examining projects and key factors and have committed to updating their decarbonization targets and further comparative assessment of the 2050 net-zero commitment using established scientific frameworks. As the above business activities are not aligned with the Taxonomy targets/indicators, there is no cross-reference to the relevant section of the financial statements, except for its own RES generation, which represents a small percentage of the contribution to the targets.
Target progress is monitored on an annual basis. During 2025, compared to last year's disclosure, the company made no changes to its assumptions, methodology, or actions for achieving the targets. Up to 2025, compared to the 2030 targets, ElvalHalcor has achieved a 10,7% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions, (258 thousand tn, where 153.8 thousand tn was Scope 1 and 104.2 thousand tn Scope 2) mainly through improvements in the energy mix of producers, improvements in energy consumption, increased productivity, and the procurement of electricity from renewable sources through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). At the same time, total absolute greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3) have increased by ~15% compared to the base year, mainly due to increased production activity, and consequent energy consumption and incoming metal quantities. Target progress is still considered on track with the plan, as the Company intends to further strengthen its responsible procurement policy and deepen collaboration with suppliers on the development and implementation of decarbonization roadmaps aimed at reducing their carbon footprint. The actions are expected to gradually yield measurable results, whereas -17% reduction in total GHG emission intensity (Scope 1, 2, and 3) has already been achieved.

Chart 1: ElvalHalcor carbon footprint reduction targets
Regarding progress on actions, for the first decarbonization lever and the increase in the recycled aluminium and copper content in products, in 2025, ElvalHalcor continued its efforts to increase the consumption of aluminium and copper scrap, leveraging projects implemented in previous years. The copper alloys extrusion division implemented a project to improve scrap sorting in the foundry through an automated system equipped with chemical analyzers and optical recognition cameras, enabling the upgrading of lower-quality copper scrap into material suitable for production. The contribution of this specific project relates to Scope 3 emissions, as upgrading the scrap will contribute to replacing primary metal. At this point, it is not possible to quantify the project's contribution to emission reduction.
Regarding the procurement of renewable energy, beyond the two existing self-generation facilities from RES (photovoltaics) with a total capacity of 1,450 kWp installed in previous years, in 2025 the Company proceeded to procure renewable energy through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), covering 25% of its electricity needs from RES, with emission avoidance of approximately 35547 t CO₂, based on the energy mix for the same period.
Regarding the lever of continuous improvement of the energy footprint, two energy efficiency projects were completed in 2025. The first concerned the upgrade of the automation of the induction furnace water cooling system, whereas the second focused on the upgrade of the cooling pump station. These initiatives are expected to achieve energy savings of approximately 150 MWh annually, with a total capital expenditure of approximately €60 thousand. The related expenditure is included in line 5 of Paragraph 8 in the Financial Statements (p. 193).
The aforementioned capital expenditures are not reflected in the EU Taxonomy CapEx indicators, as the relevant actions are not recognized as aligned activities within the Taxonomy framework. The company continues to assess the technical and operational adjustments required to achieve alignment with Taxonomy criteria.
Following the same methodological principles as ElvalHalcor, the subsidiary Symetal has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, with intermediate decarbonization targets for 2030.
With 2022 as the base year, the company targets a 50% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030, aligned with the Paris Agreement 1.5°C pathway (ACA -47.5%). At the same time, the Scope 3 target for 2030 is aligned with a well-below-2°C pathway and provides for a 25% reduction within the same time period. The company has not yet verified its targets through SBTi, while the targets have been assessed as a criterion for certification under the ASI Performance Standard. The reference year data are considered representative and relate to actual values, with a common calculation methodology used for comparability and reliability purposes.
Furthermore, Symetal has committed to net-zero emissions by 2050. Upon full implementation of decarbonization actions, any residual emissions that remain technically or economically unavoidable will be addressed through the prudent use of certified, high-quality carbon offsets. The commitment covers all greenhouse gases as included in Table 8, and specifically 100% of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions (37.4kt), 99.8% of Scope 3 emissions (877.8kt), as only categories 6, 7, 8, 11, 13, 14, 15 of the GHG Protocol are excluded, which were deemed non-material (representing only 0.2% of emissions), totaling approximately 99.9% of emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3).
Annual Report 2025

The key assumptions for determining the 2030 interim targets include the Group's climate scenarios for regulatory, technological, social and environmental parameters that may affect Symetal's operations, projections for the evolution of production volumes and changes in the product mix (with an increase in coated products), a reduction in the quantity of heat-sealing lacquer in coated materials, coverage of 80% of electricity consumption from renewable sources, introduction of a solvent recovery process, and retention of primary metal key suppliers in the supplier mix following the achievement of expected reductions in accordance with their published decarbonization roadmaps. For 2050, the key assumptions primarily relate to the electrification of the majority of thermal processes, the application of green hydrogen solutions, and further decarbonization of primary metal production.
Chart 2: Symetal carbon footprint reduction targets
Targets are monitored on an annual basis by the company's sustainability coordinators. Compared to the 2030 interim targets, in 2025, Symetal has achieved a 2.3% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions relative to the base year, with the 2025 emissions being 36.5 thousand tons (20 thousand tons Scope 1 and 16.5 thousand tons Scope 2). While Scope 3 emissions have been reduced by by 11 % (2025: 780.8 thansand tn). Although progress to date remains limited, all targets are considered achievable, as the key decarbonization levers are expected to yield measurable results in the coming years, particularly through increased RES penetration, energy upgrading of processes, and further reduction of the supply chain carbon footprint. For the development of the targets, the company has factored in committed emissions in its processes and products, and strategically directs its investments and initiatives towards the following key pillars, leveraging its own resources and expertise:
• Material efficiency optimization: Implementation of measures to reduce the quantity of heat-seal lacquer applied to coated products. This initiative is expected to lead to significant solvent savings, contributing to the reduction of direct greenhouse gas emissions. The project is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026, at which point it will define quantitative benefits.
• Transition to Renewable Energy Sources (RES): Coverage of the majority of electricity needs from RES by 2030, targeting a minimum of 80%. This will be achieved primarily through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), reducing emissions proportionally to the energy mix of each year while contractual agreement was signed in 2025.
• Process innovation and reduction of direct emissions (Scope 1) through the gradual replacement of solvent primers with acrylics, where technically feasible. In 2025, the replacement of solvent primers with acrylics in caps reached approximately 65%. For the remaining solvent applications, Symetal plans investments in advanced recovery and reuse systems, which will be fully operational by 2030.
• Responsible procurement: Implementation of a strategy, incorporating environmental criteria in the collaboration with suppliers. Through these collaborative actions, the company aims to enhance the sustainability of its value chain and reduce corresponding Scope 3 emissions by 2030.
For 2030, the first three actions have been designed to achieve a combined absolute reduction of approximately 18.2 thousand tons of CO₂e in Scope 1&2 emissions. These reductions are expected to come exclusively from the decrease in Scope 2 emissions, mainly through changes in energy sources and improvements in energy efficiency. In contrast, Scope 1 emissions—despite the projected increase in production volumes—are estimated to remain relatively stable as a result of the respective initiatives.
Symetal’s initiatives with its supply chain are expected to lead to a reduction of approximately 217.4 thousand tons of CO₂e in Scope 3 emissions.
ElvalHalcor

The estimated capital expenditure (CapEx) for achieving the 2030 interim decarbonization targets is approximately €4.7 million. This amount cannot be matched to the relevant expenditure lines in the Financial Statements or with the EU Taxonomy CapEx indicator, as it relates to future expenditure.
To achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, Symetal will implement a comprehensive set of decarbonization levers across all activities and the value chain, covering 100% of electricity needs from renewable sources, minimization of Scope 3 emissions through supplier actions, full electrification of thermal processes and the technical maturity of green hydrogen (H₂) solutions, and lastly the use of certified offsets. In particular, these mechanisms are not linked to intermediate decarbonization actions and will not be used to achieve emission reductions before 2050.
Symetal's action plan, together with the completion of Sofia Med's corresponding plan and individual targets of other subsidiaries, in combination with ElvalHalcor's plan, will form the basis for the Group's comprehensive climate transition plan with an estimated contribution of approximately 73,000 tons of CO₂..
Measurement indicators
The total greenhouse gas emissions and carbon intensity indicators for ElvalHalcor are presented in the following tables. Emissions are recorded and reported in accordance with the GHG Protocol reporting standard. ElvalHalcor and Sofia Med are subject to the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) regulation, annually verifying the direct Scope 1 emissions from fuel combustion in the companies' stationary installations, corresponding to approximately 74% of the Group's (2024: 75%, 2023: 72%) and 91% of the company's (2024: 91%, 2023: 90%) gross Scope 1 emissions. Total Scope 1 and 2 emissions remain relatively stable for most subsidiaries compared to the prior year, recording an increase due to increased production. Regarding Scope 2 emissions, the Group procures electricity through different contractual mechanisms. The majority of electricity comes from supply contracts with electricity providers, while part of the supply relates to renewable electricity through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).
In these cases, electricity is acquired together with the corresponding renewable generation attributes. This impact is monitored in the Scope 2 market-based indicator. For 2025, PPAs covered ~15 of the company's electricity.
Since 2023, the Group has expanded the scope for calculating Scope 3 emissions to include all 15 emission categories described in the GHG Protocol. The purpose of this comprehensive assessment is to capture the full spectrum of indirect emissions associated with the value chain, and 8 of these categories were identified as material, covering >99% of total emissions. The remaining Scope 3 categories were excluded as their contribution to emissions was negligible or non- existent (categories 6-8, 11, and 13-15), while there are no biogenic CO₂ emissions in the lifecycle of aluminium and copper products. Specifically, the Scope 3 categories reported in this disclosure are the following:
C1: Purchased goods and services
C2: Capital goods
C3: Fuel and energy-related activities
C4: Upstream transportation and distribution
C5: Waste generated in operations
C9: Downstream transportation and distribution
C10: Processing of sold products
C12: End-of-life treatment of sold products
Categories 1–5 cover the cradle-to-gate approach relating to ElvalHalcor’s and its subsidiaries’ products’ carbon footprint .
Production performance disclosure is a standard industry practice. ElvalHalcor and its subsidiaries have systematically published their performance against the GRI framework, and with the aim of capturing historical progress, the indicators are presented in Table 18 for Elval and Halcor, on a voluntary basis with respect to the requirements of ESRS and this disclosure.

* - Net turnover, as reported in the Financial Results section of the Report (corresponding to Table 18)
- Direct emissions (Scope 1) are calculated based on the latest available National Inventory Reports (NIR) for each country. ElvalHalcor and Sofia Med verify their emissions through the ETS.
For the calculation of Scope 3 indirect emissions, the GHG Protocol and an internal procedure were used. For category 1, primary and second- ary data were used, and emission factors from external databases were employed (DEFRA, Aluminium International Institute, EcoInvent, etc.). Emissions derived from primary data cover ~27% of total Scope 3 emissions.
There are no biogenic CO₂ emissions arising from the combustion or biodegradation of biomass, and emissions of other types of greenhouse gases, particularly CH₄ and N₂O, are included in the measurement of Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
1. - For indirect emissions (Scope 2), both the location-based and market-based methods are used.
- Location: For Greece, Bulgaria, and Spain, the Supplier's Mix from the AIB European Residual Mix 2024 (the corresponding report for 2025 had not yet been published) have been used.
- Correspondingly, the residual mixes from the same report in Table 4: Residual Mixes 2024. For Sofia Med, emissions were zero, based on the company's agreements with electricity providers. Similarly, the indicator is zero for agreements of ElvalHalcor or its subsidiaries with RES providers. The remainder of consumption followed the market-based methodology.
During the previous year’s disclosure, based on the use of the 2023 residual mix emission factors, the corresponding values were as follows:
Scope 2 emissions (location-based): 176.924 tCO₂e for the Group and 117.690 tCO₂e for the Company.
Scope 2 emissions (market-based): 223.755 tCO₂e for the Group and 171.750 tCO₂e for the Company.
Accordingly, the indicators for Total Emissions reported in the previous year’s disclosure were as follows:
Total emissions (location-based): 4,606.3 tCO₂e for the Group and 3,991.3 tCO₂e for the Company.
Total emissions (market-based): 4,653.1 tCO₂e for the Group and 4,045.0 tCO₂e for the Company.
The changes in emissions intensity per net turnover do not affect the indicator.
The use of the updated residual mix also affects the breakdown of energy consumption by source for 2024, as previously disclosed in Table 18 of last year’s report. Previous values are are shown in the following table:

Energy consumption is presented in Table 19. Energy consumption is calculated directly by the Group's companies. The Group's productive activities are associated with high energy consumption and use of raw materials with significant climate impact, and therefore, the entirety of energy consumption is included. The energy mix is based on the corresponding mix from which Scope 2 indirect emissions are derived, in accordance with the annual residual mix reports of AIB (market- based) in Table 4: Residual Mixes 2024. In 2024, ~30% of ElvalHalcor's aluminium division's consumption was covered by RES through PPAs, and is included in the table below.

Resource Use and Circular Economy
E5-1, E5-2, E5-3, E5-4, E5-5
SBM-3
Introduction: Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities
The Group's contribution to the circular economy focuses on two key aspects of its production processes: recycling and waste management. In the context of this disclosure, waste management constitutes a voluntary disclosure, as it is not a required disclosure according to ESRS criteria and based on the double materiality assessment.
The recycling of secondary metal (scrap) from aluminium and copper constitutes a fundamental pillar of the Group's strategy, with significant investments in infrastructure and technologies. Secondary material in products, commonly referred to as recycled content, contributes to a strategic positive impact on product circularity and their lifecycle sustainability performance. Product circularity requires the joint efforts of various stakeholders at all stages, as products must be recyclable, collected after end-of-life without losses at landfill, and sorted, recycled, and used for new products. The position of the companies in the value chain is of critical importance to this process, as it includes recycling facilities. Scrap is a limited resource; however, the recycling rates (%) of all finished products must be as high as possible, which requires the implementation of reliable collection systems on a global scale, and advanced technologies must be used for responsible and efficient recycling. Throughout this process, product design must incorporate recyclability performance, leveraging the inherent properties of the two metals.
Circularity is an integral element of climate change adaptation and the transition to a low-carbon economy. The use of scrap minimizes the need for primary materials, supporting growth without additional environmental pressures and resource- intensive activities such as mining and raw material extraction, as well as energy-intensive upstream production. According to various relevant studies (from the International Aluminium Association and others), aluminium scrap requires only 5% of the energy required to produce primary materials, contributing to a carbon footprint reduction of 92% to 99%. Furthermore, 1 tonne of recycled scrap corresponds to approximately 8 tonnes of bauxite and 12,000–14,000 kWh of energy. Similarly, copper scrap requires 85% less energy for new copper from primary ores and results in 65% fewer carbon emissions.
Collection, as an integral part of the recycling process, is regulated by recycling systems and frameworks that vary between regions and countries. Various short-lifecycle products with global reach, such as aluminium beverage cans, which fall under dynamic systems such as Deposit Return Systems (DRS), can achieve recycling rates of 99% with the return of high- quality scrap for recycling. The absence of relevant systems can lead to rates as low as 50% for the same product. For this reason, the Group actively supports the implementation of DRS in every region in which it operates, and internationally, in order to take full advantage of the circularity potential of its products.
The second pillar of the circular economy is waste management. As a group with industrial plants, ElvalHalcor and its subsidiaries may have a negative environmental impact through the production of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, both in terms of quality and quantity. It is worth noting that while these impacts have not been assessed as material, the Group monitors them and includes them in the sustainability report for transparency and stakeholder information reasons. On the other hand, maintaining high recycling and recovery rates for all types of waste can have a positive impact on the conversion of natural resources, the provision of indirect energy sources for other industries, and the support of cleaner industrial production.
Policies
The two key aspects of the circular economy and the strategy for the use of renewable sources and recycling are reflected in the Group's policies and strategic priorities. The Environmental, Energy and Climate Change Policy, as described in the previous chapter, takes into account the relevant impacts, risks, and opportunities, incorporating the perspective of the entire value chain. Based on the double materiality assessment, circularity was identified as one of the key topics linked to the Group's sustainable development strategy, with emphasis on the interaction between circularity and climate change. The policy was developed with due consideration for the interests and expectations of key stakeholders and is published on the company's websites. The use of secondary materials and waste management, as well as all circular economy principles and the commitment to continuous improvement, are described in the policy, while based on the Business Partners Code of Conduct, which is extensively described in the Responsible Procurement chapter, compliance with the same principles in the context of partners' operations and their respective supply chains is expected. Responsibility for policy implementation lies with the senior management of all companies, while specialist departments have taken on the relevant management. Waste management has been certified under ISO 14001:2016 in all subsidiaries.
Actions and Targets
Circular economy constitutes a strategic pillar and is integrated in the Group's overall carbon footprint reduction pathway, as
ElvalHalcor

described in detail in the Climate Change chapter of this report. The policy, as well as the progress of projects, actions, and targets, is presented on the company's and subsidiaries' websites, intranet, and newsletter. Particular emphasis is placed on ElvalHalcor and Sofia Med, which operate as aluminium and copper scrap recyclers. Elval, the aluminium rolling rolling division of ElvalHalcor has set the ambitious target to increase the total recycled content in aluminium products from 13% in 2019 to at least 30% by 2030. This voluntary target, linked to recycling in the waste management hierarchy, was created within the framework of the investment program described below, and incorporates key estimates regarding technological and production recycling capacity, secondary metal availability, the product mix, etc. At the same time, it factored in stakeholder priorities, with emphasis on the downstream value chain and market trends for products and solutions with increased percentages of recycled aluminium in a range of applications (packaging, buildings/construction, automotive, etc.). Progress is monitored on an annual basis using specialized indicators, and the evolution over the last three years is presented in the relevant Table 20. For the reporting year, there were no changes to the assumptions, methodology, or measurement method of the target, while the company monitors market dynamics to revise, if deemed necessary, its targets.
The key actions supporting this target during the past five years, which had cumulative capital expenditures (CapEx) exceeding €20 million, focused on infrastructure, best available technologies, and Industry 4.0 principles, including increasing recycling capacity, optimizing blending through intelligent systems, and optimizing production processes. These actions, completed in the previous 5 years at ElvalHalcor's production facilities, and they do not include expenses incurred within the reporting year supported the achievement of the company's targets in the context of capacity expansion and were integrated into the overall investment strategy. As shown in the performance tables, the company has already achieved its target and is exploring further investments to increase scrap. However, current market conditions pose many risks with regard to short- to medium-term scrap flows. Even maintaining the current recycled content percentage for the coming years may present significant challenges: aluminium scrap demand is at very high levels and secondary materials are a finite resource; the company's production capacity is increasing, signaling increased demand to maintain scrap percentages. Product mix fluctuations and global market trends can significantly affect recycled content, as not all alloys have the same scrap consumption properties, and various applications primarily require primary metal; lastly, the possibility of disruptions to material flows in relation to regulations, the market, and the geopolitical context is also taken into account. To address these risks, the aluminium rolling division and the Group as a whole promote sustainable product design, material recyclability, as well as the development of effective collection and sorting systems such as DRS.
To mitigate the risks referenced above and set a higher target, the rolling division seeks active participation in relevant working groups and industry associations, collaborating with legislators at the national and international level. Furthermore, it maintains cooperation with all key stakeholders on all relevant matters and promotes social awareness and education through the implementation of various initiatives, the most notable of which are the following:
• Global Beverage Can Circularity Alliance (GBCCA): An alliance of companies across the aluminium beverage can value chain, including suppliers, customers, and institutions, aimed at maximizing recycling rates through reliable collection systems such as DRS worldwide, targeting 80% by 2030 and 100% by 2050. The alliance supports these targets through advocacy actions and comprehensive business plans for countries and regions, in collaboration with all key stakeholders.
• Circular Can End initiative (CCE): A circularity initiative for the can lid by the European Aluminium Packaging Board. Collaboration of leading producers for a new product design that maximizes the recycled content potential of the aluminium can. Currently, the can consists of two separate alloys, one for the can body and one for the lid and opening ring. These two alloys have a varying ratio of 80-20% to 85-15% for the body and lid, respectively, and have different chemical and metallurgical properties and different scrap consumption capacities, while they are not separated at the recycling stage, i.e., the liquid aluminium produced has mixed chemical properties. The potential new design, either for a single alloy for all parts of the can or through modification of the lid alloy to consume more scrap, can further increase the potential recycled content of each new can produced and leverage full can-to-can circularity.
• KANAL: KANAL is a collection and education center with a rich history of collaborations with educational institutions and NGOs promoting recycling awareness among children and adults. It has been operating since 2003 and has the capacity to collect and process approximately 3,000 tonnes of used beverage cans. Over the years, KANAL has collected and processed approximately 6 million cans for recycling. Furthermore, approximately 75,000 students have visited KANAL's facilities to be educated on the environmental benefits of recycling, and the center has implemented various educational projects with NGOs. The company also cooperates with the “Every Can Counts” initiative for the collection of used beverage cans through various events, festivals, and concerts throughout Greece, and supports awareness and outreach campaigns and events. Moreover, the company is active through trade and industry associations with the aim of implementing legislated DRS systems in Greece.
Halcor, the copper and alloy extrusion segment of ElvalHalcor has also set a voluntary target to further increase the recycled copper content percentage from 56% in 2023 to at least 60% by 2030. During the reporting year, there was no change to the target's assumptions or methodology. Key to achieving the target is the improvement of scrap sorting capabilities, which will ensure the processing of higher-quality materials. More specifically, in 2025, it implemented a project for the optimization of scrap separation in the foundry at the Oinofyta facilities, consisting of an automatic separation machine
Annual Report 2025
61
equipped with chemical composition analyzers, as well as cameras for visual monitoring, aimed at separating and upgrading lower-quality scraps into material suitable for consumption. This new process favors the selective separation of the scrap, receiving pieces rich in elements that are now used to produce brass alloys, and also contributes to separation when weather conditions do not favor handling, or when quantities are very large. Furthermore, the metal procurement department plans ahead for future challenges, such as a potential reduction in scrap flows. This includes the utilization of
lower-quality scrap. To this end, the segment has another project with a completion target of 2026, aimed at optimizing the electrolytic refining process with a view to improving copper purity, while simultaneously targeting the scaling up of the process through pilot-scale testing. These actions have a total expenditure of €2.25 million and are included in paragraph 8 of the Financial Statements.
On the subject of waste and management thereof, the Group's companies have committed to conducting responsible production activities and making continuous efforts to limit landfill waste, as well as maintaining safeguards to prevent pollution related to leakages into adjacent environments. Impacts that could potentially affect, directly or indirectly, the environment are closely monitored, and procedures have been developed for the immediate identification of incidents, the prevention of their impact, or their remediation. A basic operating principle is the prevention, reuse, and exploitation of waste, and all Group companies apply best practices in waste management, aiming for recycling or recovery and the avoidance of final disposal. For example, more than 1,000 tonnes of sludge generated annually from the wastewater treatment unit that manages the liquid waste from ElvalHalcor and Symetal are used as an alternative raw material in the cement industry, while the corresponding absorbent materials with oils from the subsidiaries are recovered in the form of alternative fuel in other industries.
Measurement indicators
The production model of the companies is based on the re-melting of primary and the recycling of secondary metal for the production of semi-finished products for further processing, through to their final packaging and dispatch. Primary and secondary metals (aluminium and copper) constitute the most critical production materials, while master alloys with specific chemical compositions are also used to produce the different aluminium and copper alloys. For their production and processing, the company uses industrial equipment, including foundries, recycling plants, and production machinery, such as hot and cold rolling mills, extrusion presses, tube-making machines, aluminium coating lines, packaging machines, etc. Water is a key production resource for cooling cast products, while various production materials are also used at various stages of production, such as various types of oils, solvents, paints, and other consumables.
The main waste streams arising from the industrial activities of the individual sectors include, among others, filter dust, waste oils, emulsions, mixtures of oils and solvents, etc. The main materials contained in the waste include oils, chemicals, and paper, plastic, or metal packaging containers. No data are presented for waste generation from non-industrial companies, as their waste generation is negligible. No subsidiary generates radioactive waste. None of the indicators presented have been verified by an external body, other than the assurance provider.
Data on the percentage of recycled content and use of secondary metal regarding companies with recycling operations, both segments of ElvalHalcor and the subsidiary Sofia Med. The overall Group figures are less indicative, as various subsidiaries perform various operations and/or carry out further processing of ElvalHalcor semi-finished products. Information on the Group and the company in absolute terms for resource inputs is presented in Table 20.
For the calculation of recycled content at the company level, two categories of secondary metal are taken into account: pre-consumer scrap and post-consumer scrap. The terminology of these categories follows the relevant guidelines of the ISO 14021:2016 standard. Post-consumer scrap, or end-of-life scrap, refers to scrap that arises after the use and disposal of a finished product, e.g., used beverage cans discarded by the end customer. Pre-consumer scrap refers to all scrap generated during the production process of a product at any stage, once diverted from waste. Calculation of recycled content takes into account only downstream pre-consumer scrap, i.e., scrap from the production processes of the recycling companies, is not included in the calculation. The recycled content (%) refers to the ratio between scrap quantities according to the above definitions against total production quantities, and applies only to recycling processes, i.e., the two segments of ElvalHalcor and the subsidiary Sofia Med. When calculating the consolidated absolute figures for primary and secondary material at the group level, intra-group material flows are excluded as they are considered internal based on the organizational boundaries. Non-secondary material is considered any ingot or primary metal, specifically aluminium and copper, as well as various master alloys.

Introduction: Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities
The responsible abstraction and consumption of water, as well as the proper treatment of liquid waste, are parameters of fundamental importance for the Group's operations. Water is a valuable natural resource and is used primarily for cooling purposes at various stages of the aluminium and copper production process, as well as for other production processes. Water-intensive activities are negatively impacting the environment and local communities, particularly in areas with limited availability of water resources or drought conditions. Water resources in the broader Mediterranean region are becoming increasingly constrained, and it is considered important to transition to water-efficient technologies to ensure long-term operational stability. It is a commitment of the companies to care for water consumption, to pursue its reuse, and to seek practices and technologies that improve the overall efficiency of water resources.
The main challenges identified in relation to water abstraction and consumption are primarily linked to adequate quantity for production needs, and are related to the impacts of climate change on the broader region (see TCFD results, p. 44). Water is consumed primarily through national water supply networks. The production facilities in Viotia represent a very small percentage of the total supply, which also covers the wider area and Athens, and no marine resources are used. Furthermore, the company has invested in relevant technologies and infrastructure to ensure operational continuity, while water flows and consumption are continuously monitored. ElvalHalcor has a state-of-the-art wastewater treatment unit that processes liquid waste from both divisions and the subsidiary Symetal, ensuring full compliance with quality and regulatory limits.
At the value chain level of the two segments, water is used primarily as a cooling resource at all stages of production and indirectly affects energy consumption, including hydroelectric energy, particularly at primary metal production units. The intensity of water use decreases at downstream sections of the value chain.
Policy
The commitment to responsible water consumption and management is reflected in the Environmental, Energy, and Climate Change Policy, described in previous chapters. Water is recognized as a valuable natural resource, while aquatic organisms are protected at all stages of their activities. The companies commit to complying with relevant international frameworks, such as the Green Deal and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Environmental, Energy, and Climate Change Policy covers all installations, and implementation responsibility lies with the Environmental Management department of each company. The policy does not cover upstream and downstream activities. Nevertheless, water consumption, liquid waste management, and the protection of water and marine ecosystems are part of the Business Partners Code of Conduct, described in the Responsible Procurement chapter, and are included in their evaluation criteria.
Actions and Targets
The Group implements various actions for overall responsible water management, including initiatives to reduce abstraction intensity, manage consumption, and ensure compliance with discharge limits. These actions take place in areas with high water stress. Such areas are defined as those where the percentage of abstracted water is high (40–80%) or very high (>80%) according to the Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas tool of the World Resources Institute (WRI). For the Group, these areas include all production facilities except Sofia Med. The Group is developing specific quantitative water consumption targets, linked also to the climate transition plan, and commits to proper use and full compliance with discharge limits at each of its production facilities.
Other parameters that may affect the water footprint include the quality of water supplied through the network, the product mix, and general climate conditions. Water flows in production are continuously monitored, with respect to both quantity and quality, including abstraction and discharge. The copper and alloys extrusion segment of ElvalHalcor has been certified under ISO 46001:2019 for the water management system it implements.
Water resource management initiatives include the reuse and recycling of water as well as efficient technologies that improve specific water consumption.
The initiatives and actions include the following: The company has implemented a pilot reverse osmosis unit since 2024 in the aluminium rolling division, and for the next two years plans the installation of an additional unit with specifications derived from the pilot use, as well as a filtering system of the RO Rejects to reduce wastewater towards the treatment plant, with a total CapEx of approximately €165.000. The amount relates to future expenditure and is not included in the financial statements. Furthermore, the copper and alloys extrusion segment has developed new collection, treatment

and reuse facilities for rainwater, installed a new reverse osmosis unit for the reuse of production water, and another project started in 2024, being progressively implemented with a five-year horizon, for the use of nature-based solutions for water use, specifically the recovery and reuse of rainwater and the reuse of industrial effluents through the application of nature-based solutions and digital technologies. The estimated water reuse capacity from these actions is expected to reach 35,000 m³ of water, where actual water reuse depends on weather conditions and the temporal distribution of water demand from various unit processes. The estimated CapEx for all the copper and alloys extrusion segment’s projects amounts to €900 thousand.
Sofia Med implements various water management projects, such as the upgrade of the liquid waste treatment plant through the addition of advanced treatment stages and the installation of supporting infrastructure, as well as through the modernization of operational procedures. The project also includes the installation of a new electrical panel and PLC system with remote monitoring and control capabilities. Furthermore, the company is proceeding with the installation of a new cooling tower, aimed at improving water quality and reducing water abstraction intensity by 5%. The projects were largely completed by 2025, and the total capital expenditure (CapEx) amounts to €720 thousand.
Of this amount, €610 thousand relates to 2025 and is included in line 4 of paragraph 8 in the Financial Statements, whereas an additional €67 thousand is planned for 2026 to complete the projects.
Measurement Indicators
The measurement indicators for water consumption and liquid waste are presented in the table 23. The key water use intensity indicators maintain a stable trend, despite the increase in production, underscoring the effectiveness of efficient use and overall water management actions. Data is based on direct measurements using provider invoices and is verified by measurements from flowmeters at the inlet and outlet points of the facilities. Recycled and reused water is calculated using actual values with the use of flowmeters, either in recycling units or in reuse in other production processes. Water consumption is calculated as the difference between water withdrawal and water discharge. No water was stored in 2025 in any of the Group's subsidiaries.

EU Taxonomy (Disclosures pursuant to Article 8 of regulation 2020/852)
Introduction
This section aims to present compliance with Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (the European Union Taxonomy Regulation), which defines and classifies economic activities considered environmentally sustainable. The six environmental objectives defined by the EU Taxonomy are listed below:
Climate Change Mitigation
Climate Change Adaptation
Sustainable Use and Protection of Water and Marine Resources
Transition to a Circular Economy
Pollution Prevention and Control
Protection and Restoration of Biodiversity and Ecosystems
The Group provides stakeholders with a clear, well-documented, and comprehensive overview of its sustainability performance and the environmental impacts of its activities. It is not limited to compliance with regulatory requirements, but also substantially strengthens the companies’ commitment to responsible business operations and the continuous improvement of environmental performance.
The Group applies a detailed methodology to assess the eligibility and alignment of its activities with the European Union Taxonomy Regulation, which includes the following key stages:
The Group applies a detailed methodology to assess the eligibility and alignment of its activities with the European Union Taxonomy Regulation, which includes the following key stages:
1. Identification of Eligible Activities: Identification of the economic activities that are eligible under the EU Taxonomy. The process includes mapping operations against the activity descriptions set out in the Regulation, with a focus on activities contributing to climate change mitigation or adaptation, as well as the remaining environmental objectives.
2. Assessment of Substantial Contribution: For each eligible activity, the Group assesses the significance of its contribution to one or more of the six environmental objectives of the Taxonomy by examining the relevant Technical Screening Criteria (TSC).
3. Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) Criteria: For all eligible economic activities that demonstrate a Substantial Contribution to one of the environmental objectives, the Group subsequently further assesses their compliance with the corresponding Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) Technical Screening Criteria for the remaining environmental objectives of the Regulation.
4. Compliance with Minimum Safeguards: The final step in assessing alignment with the EU Taxonomy Regulation concerns the Group’s compliance with the Regulation’s Minimum Safeguards, which relate to the protection of human rights, anti-bribery and anti-corruption measures, fair competition, and responsible tax practices.
5. Data Collection and Reporting: Accurate data collection is essential for transparent reporting. At this stage, detailed performance data are collected for the KPIs related to turnover, capital expenditure, and operating expenditure, covering both eligible and aligned activities, as well as other relevant information.
6. Ongoing Monitoring and Improvement: As the final stage of the process, the Group establishes a framework for the systematic monitoring of compliance with the requirements of the EU Taxonomy. It aims at the continuous evaluation and adjustment of the relevant processes and practices to ensure that its strategy and operations remain aligned with evolving regulatory requirements.
The above process led to the identification of two eligible economic activities under the climate change mitigation category, which are presented in the table below. Although both categories could fall under both climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation, mitigation was selected as the more relevant objective in relation to the nature of the organisation’s business model.

Activities related to the production of aluminium facades and roofs have been classified under category 3.5, based on the operations of Elval Colour. The Group also engages in secondary aluminium production (3.8) through the aluminium rolling segment of ElvalHalcor. However, since there is no separate category for downstream aluminium product processing, and these products are intermediate and do not generate direct revenue, the turnover indicator is not reflected in the official EU Taxonomy tables. As indicative information, the related turnover is reported as €795.2 million, based on the recycled content share in the in-house produced slabs.
For the copper and alloys extrusion segment and Sofia Med, the key components for heating, hot water, cooling, ventilation, and heat pump systems (e.g., copper pipes) are also included under category 3.5. The corresponding product categories are:
Facade elements (l)
Key components for space heating and hot water systems (h)
Key components for cooling and ventilation systems (i)
Key components for heat pump systems (k)
Definitions and metrics
The reporting requirements include the percentage of eligibility for the company’s turnover, CAPEX, and OPEX, as stipulated by EU Sustainable Finance legislation. Article 10(1) of the Delegated Regulation explicitly states that, during the first year of application, non-financial undertakings must disclose “the proportion of economic activities that are eligible and non- eligible under the Taxonomy, in relation to total turnover, capital expenditures, and operating expenditures.”
For the calculation of financial indicators (KPIs), the figures are drawn directly from the Group’s internal system, ensuring that each amount is counted only once in each indicator. Additionally, the methodology applied and the selected CAPEX and OPEX numerators (Maintenance costs + R&D + leasing) prevent double counting. The total turnover and CAPEX used as denominators are reported in the financial statements on pages 169 and in the note on Rights of Use (RoU) on page 193.
Definitions of the Indicators:
Turnover KPI: The eligibility percentage is calculated as the portion of turnover derived from eligible economic activities (specifically, 3.5), per business segment.
Capital Expenditure KPI (Capex KPI): Defined as eligible capital expenditures under the Taxonomy (numerator) divided by total Capex of ElvalHalcor (denominator). The numerator includes expenditures related to assets or processes that are essential for the implementation of an eligible economic activity. This includes all equipment or facilities invested in eligible activities.
Capex for the production of secondary aluminium (activity 3.8) includes investments related to aluminium production from secondary raw materials (scrap), through smelting and alloying processes. The denominator includes tangible and intangible fixed assets, as well as the Group’s Right of Use assets for the 2025 financial year, before depreciation, impairments, and revaluations. It includes asset purchases under IFRS 16 (tangible – IAS 16) and IFRS 38 (intangible – IAS 38), as well as Right of Use Assets (IFRS 16). Goodwill is not included, as it is not considered an intangible asset under IFRS.
Annual Report 2025
67
Operating Expenditure KPI (Opex KPI): Defined as eligible operating expenditures under the Taxonomy (numerator) divided by the total Opex of ElvalHalcor (denominator). The numerator includes operating expenditures related to assets or processes that fall under eligible economic activities.
The denominator includes non-capitalized expenses related to:
Research & Development costs recognized as expenses during the reporting period.
Short-term and/or low-value leases, in accordance with IFRS 16.
Maintenance, repairs, and other direct costs associated with the day-to-day operations of plants and machinery, calculated based on the relevant costs from the company’s cost centers and forming part of total direct costs. This also includes activities related to building renovations.
Based on the above definitions, ElvalHalcor’s indicators are presented in the summary table below and in the detailed tables that follow. It should be noted that no activity is aligned with the Taxonomy.

Introduction: Impacts, risks, and opportunities
The Group is committed to ensuring and respecting human and labour rights both within its own operations and throughout its supply chain. This is aligned with the applicable national and international regulatory framework and recognised international standards, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the United Nations Global Compact initiative, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Guidelines, the International Labour Organization (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, as well as the relevant guidelines of the European Union Taxonomy concerning human rights. Ensuring the development, advancement, and health of its employees, maintaining a balance between their professional and personal life, and fostering an inclusive workplace are not only fundamental principles of business ethics, but also form part of the broader set of factors influencing productivity, overall well-being, and the organisation’s overall sustainability performance. Given the Group’s significant contribution to employment and the overall development of the local and national economy, the companies recognise their responsibility to protect human and labour rights, as well as acknowledge the influence they exert across the value chain.
Although the potential negative impacts arising from violations of human and labour rights within the operations themselves were assessed as relatively limited and were not identified as material in the context of the double materiality assessment, the extent and severity of potential adverse impacts within the upstream value chain may be significantly higher. This increased exposure is attributed to the global and complex network of suppliers, the diversity of the sectors in which they operate, as well as the geographical proximity of certain activities to areas with an elevated risk of human rights violations. These activities may arise in regions and countries outside the European Union, or in countries with weaker regulatory frameworks or limited implementation and enforcement of the relevant legislation. Such activities and regions may be associated with forced labour, unsafe working conditions, or even child labour, due to weaker legislative frameworks or insufficient oversight.
This highlights the importance of strict oversight and due diligence, as well as the pressing need to establish stable collaborations and partnerships with customers, suppliers, and contractors, based on shared principles and mutual trust. Joint ventures or other special purpose vehicles related to ElvalHalcor that are not consolidated in the present statement due to the absence of operational control do not include upstream activities, and no material impacts were identified. To better understand the risks affecting workers in the upstream value chain, the Group collaborates with suppliers, contractors, and customers within the value chain, and the assessment of human rights constitutes a key area of focus. More specifically, the scope of material impacts includes workers at facilities who are not part of the Group’s direct workforce, workers employed by entities in the company’s upstream value chain, as well as particularly vulnerable groups of workers, such as migrants, home-based workers, women, and young workers.
Policies
The commitment to safeguarding human and labour rights is outlined in the Human and Labour Rights Policy and the Code of Business Ethics. The companies’ policies and procedures fully comply with all relevant national legislation and international guidelines, addressing material issues such as working conditions, equal opportunities, freedom of collective bargaining, safe and inclusive working environments, the prevention of discrimination of any , Consideration of Vulnerable Employee Groups, the explicit prohibition of forced and child labour, while they have been developed taking into account all stakeholders including employees, local communities, customers, suppliers, NGOs, etc. The policies are publicly communicated through the corporate websites and internal networks. Based on this framework, the Group has established a due diligence process that defines the roles and responsibilities across the two sectors and their subsidiaries, and has appointed Human Rights Supervisors to coordinate risk identification and guide the implementation of the necessary actions. Responsibility for implementing the policy lies with the senior management of the sectors and subsidiaries.
The Group is committed to ensuring fair and decent working conditions, transparent and clear employment contracts, as well as fair remuneration that meets or exceeds applicable legal and regulatory requirements. At the same time, employee health and safety is established as a strategic priority through the implementation of occupational risk prevention systems, regular inspections, and continuous improvement programmes, aimed at creating a safe and supportive working environment. Employees are encouraged to report any violations through established reporting and grievance mechanisms, which ensure the assessment and prompt handling of complaints. The companies monitor and report annually on impacts, risks, and opportunities related to human rights, in cooperation with stakeholders, to address potential concerns. Relevant training programmes are implemented to raise awareness and ensure that all employees understand and adhere to the Group’s principles and best practices. In addition, the code of conduct for business partners includes clauses requiring respect
Annual Report 2025
79
for human and labour rights. In 2025, no incidents of non-compliance with the aforementioned principles were reported.
The Group recognises that its employees constitute the cornerstone of business success and long-term growth. In this context, the companies actively promote equality, diversity, and inclusion, fostering a working environment that respects diversity and ensures equal opportunities. At the same time, systematic investment in skills development and talent cultivation is performed, providing clear and transparent career development paths. The company and its subsidiaries seek to employ qualified and experienced personnel without any form of discrimination, including concerning nationality, age, religion, or ethnic origin. The Group acknowledges that an inclusive working environment that promotes diverse perspectives and experiences contributes to greater innovation, improved problem-solving, and enhanced performance. An inclusive environment can also attract highly talented and skilled employees who can set leading examples within the industry and further strengthen the Group’s reputation. The Group, through its policy, is committed is committed to ensuring that all employees receive fair and adequate remuneration in accordance with the applicable legislation of each country. This commitment includes ensuring that remuneration complies with legal requirements, is aligned with relevant industry benchmarks, and forms part of competitive compensation packages that meet or exceed the statutory minimum wage levels.
Furthermore, the companies ensure that all employees are covered by social protection systems in accordance with national legislation. This coverage includes protection against significant life events such as illness, unemployment, occupational accidents, acquired disability, parental leave, and retirement.
Beyond fair wages and fair working conditions, the Group also provides additional benefits to all employees. Social security coverage includes benefits related to illness, unemployment, occupational accidents and acquired disability, parental leave and pensions, while supplementary private benefit packages may be offered based on position and seniority. Additional benefits range from free medical check-ups to supermarket vouchers, while attention is also given to the work–life balance of employees’ families, through benefits covering parental leave, kindergarten and summer camp allowances, parental counselling and career guidance for children, as well as awards for academic performance.
The principles on human and labour rights set out in the Policy are also incorporated in the Code of Conduct for Business Partners and in the Responsible Procurement Policy (p. 92). The Code of Conduct for Business Partners clearly defines the expectations for all business partners, including suppliers, contractors, consultants, and other business partners. Its objective is to ensure that all collaborating parties are aligned with the Group’s fundamental values regarding business ethics, sustainable development, and respect for human rights throughout the value chain. The Code emphasises the importance attached to internationally recognised human rights and requires business partners to provide equal opportunities in recruitment and employment practices, explicitly prohibiting discrimination based on race, colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, physical disability, health status, political beliefs, nationality, social or national origin, trade union membership, or marital status. In addition, the Code highlights the importance of respecting local communities and their land, forests and water resources, as well as their culture, religion and the rights of indigenous peoples, ensuring that business activities do not endanger the health or safety of these communities. It also requires the provision of decent working conditions for all employees, including access to clean water, sanitation facilities, adequate housing, and essential medical services. The Code strictly prohibits child labour and any form of forced or compulsory labour, requiring full compliance with applicable minimum legal age requirements. Furthermore, employees are also required to be treated with dignity, respect, and equality, free from any form of harassment or abuse, including corporal punishment, physical or verbal abuse, or coercion. In addition, the Code requires business partners to take appropriate measures to ensure that minerals and metals sourced from conflict-affected areas are not used in their supply chains. Business partners are required to declare the origin of raw materials and avoid any involvement with illegal armed groups in relation to extraction, transportation, or other related activities.
Business partners are required to implement appropriate systems for reporting, investigating, and addressing issues related to human rights, health, and safety at work, in full compliance with applicable legislation. At the same time, they must adhere to the applicable legal framework governing the maximum permitted working hours, wages, and benefits, ensuring that overtime is voluntary and remunerated in accordance with the law. The Code of Conduct recognises and supports the right of employees to participate, or not participate, in trade unions or other lawful representative bodies and requires compliance with local and national legislation governing collective bargaining. Business partners are encouraged to adopt policies that promote open dialogue and constructive engagement between employees and management. Beyond the requirements set out in the Code, respect for human rights constitutes an important pillar of the company’s Responsible Procurement policies and procedures, while most significant risks are addressed through close cooperation between the procurement, sustainability, and legal departments. Although the Group’s companies are not in a position to come into direct contact with the employees of suppliers, a range of tools used to address human rights-related risks within the supply chain is described in the chapter “Responsible Procurement” on p. 92.
Impact management and communication channels
The company and its subsidiaries maintain continuous communication with employees through ongoing feedback, formal communication channels, internal networks, newsletters, and other means. Employees’ opinions and views are taken
ElvalHalcor
80
into account on a range of matters, while periodic satisfaction surveys (employee satisfaction surveys, not conducted during the reporting year) and recognition of improvement ideas are also carried out. Each subsidiary has appointed have appointed a Human Rights Officer responsible for the human rights due diligence process. This process includes the identification and assessment of actual and potential impacts, the implementation of measures to prevent and mitigate impacts, the monitoring of the effectiveness of these measures, and reporting on how these impacts are addressed. Two distinct processes have been established, covering the company’s own operations and the supply chain, where the most material impacts are identified.
During the reporting period of the publication, no quantitative targets had been set regarding human rights due diligence within the companies’ own operations.
Concerning human rights in the value chain, the Group collaborates with EcoVadis to map and assess the practices and performance of its business partners. This initiative began in 2022 with the objective of assessing the top 20 suppliers (based on spend) through the EcoVadis platform. Further development of this collaboration was launched in 2025 in order to cover even more suppliers and regions of the world. More information on the results of this three-year initiative is presented in the chapter “Responsible Procurement”.
In addition, the Group has established a secure and transparent communication channel for all matters concerning employees within the companies as well as across the supply chain. The “Integrity Line” constitutes a public communication channel available to all stakeholders and enables employees to report potential adverse impacts or incidents, ensuring the protection of their rights and enabling the company to undertake appropriate actions. The process includes stages for handling reports, as well as the protection of the reporting person. Employees and stakeholders are encouraged and required to report any behaviour considered suspicious or unlawful in terms of human rights violations. Such reports may be submitted anonymously through the Integrity Line, available on the website, by telephone, or by electronic mail (email). All reports are handled in accordance with applicable legislation (EU 2019/1937), and are investigated promptly and impartially by trained and experienced personnel, and, where necessary, take immediate corrective action. Further information on this mechanism is presented in the chapter “Business Conduct”, described above.
In the event that a human rights violation is identified, the response process may include the termination of business relationships. As human rights in the value chain are directly linked to Responsible Procurement, the performance indicators are presented on page 92.
Indicators
The general indicators relating to the workforce, diversity, and inclusion are presented below. These indicators have not been certified by anybody other than the assurance provider of this report. The total number of employees has increased over the last three years due to overall Group growth, with a corresponding rise in the percentage of women. The figures presented in the following tables include all direct and indirect employees. Direct employees (“employees” according to the ESRS Directive) are full-time and part-time employees with permanent or fixed-term contracts, daily wage workers, salaried employees, interns/trainees, members of the Board of Directors, and freelancers, or consultants contracted through external companies to cover permanent needs. Indirect employees (“non-employees” according to the ESRS Directive) are those not paid through the Company’s payroll or by another method but through a third party, covering fixed and permanent needs. Contracts with third parties or contractors are concluded based on man-days or man-hours. The total number of employees includes all employees regardless of maternity leave, long-term absence, or unpaid leave, while personnel data are calculated on the basis of the average of monthly values. For 2025, the total workforce of ElvalHalcor consisted of 98% permanent employees (1,697 men and 222 women) and 2% temporary employees (35 men and 13 women), with 100% employed full-time. The category “senior management” covers the level of department directors and above (members of the Board of Directors, senior directors, and top executive officers). With regard to age distribution, 163 direct employees (8%) were under 30 years of age, 780 (37%) were over 50, and 1,024 (55%) were between 30 and 50 years old. Reconciliation of the number of employees with the figure presented in the Financial Statements cannot be performed, as those statements are based on measurement as of 31.12.2025, rather than on the methodology described above.
As in 2024, no incidents of discrimination, including harassment, were reported within the companies’ workforce during the reporting year. Furthermore, no complaints were submitted through formal reporting channels by employees, nor regarding human rights issues, including incidents of discrimination and harassment. No complaints or significant impacts on human rights were reported within the workforce or in the upstream value chain.
Finally, during the reporting period, no serious human rights incidents related to the workforce were identified. Consequently, no fines, sanctions, or compensation for damages related to such incidents or complaints were imposed. All indicators presented have not been verified by an external party, except for the assurance provided for this report.

SBM-3
Introduction: Impacts, risks and opportunities
Employee training and development have been identified by the Group as a material issue with significant economic impact, as the absence of adequate training programmes or limited training hours may hinder employees’ personal and professional development and their well-being within the companies. Insufficient training and upskilling of personnel may reduce effectiveness and productivity, thereby negatively affecting business performance, profitability, and the company’s long-term sustainability. Conversely, investments in employee development enhance individual performance and contribute to the overall success of the businesses, supporting companies to maintain competitiveness and flexibility in response to market trends and business challenges. To address potential negative economic impacts, the Group invests significant resources in specialised training programmes tailored to the needs of its workforce. In addition, the company and its subsidiaries are committed to supporting and recognising personal development, as well as providing opportunities for improvement through evaluation and feedback processes.
Furthermore, the approach to lifelong learning is enhanced by an outward-looking perspective. The company and its subsidiaries recognise that knowledge capital can support not only the internal training and development of employees, but also underpins the broader strategy of attracting and retaining talented professionals, thereby strengthening the Group’s overall capabilities and competitiveness. In this context, the Group actively develops collaborations and initiatives with educational institutions, universities, and research centres, with the aim of strengthening this mutually beneficial relationship and fostering a higher level of industrial expertise, providing medium- to long-term benefits for the companies’ operations and financial performance.
Policies, actions, and targets
The Group provides comprehensive training to all employees, from their induction into the company through every stage of their professional careers. Within the framework of the Human and Labour Rights Policy, this commitment includes tailored training programmes for specific positions and areas of responsibility of each employee, enhancing both the relevance and effectiveness of the training. In addition, these programmes are designed with a focus on continuous improvement, systematic empowerment of employees, and support the implementation of all relevant practices adopted by the companies. Furthermore, within the framework of the sustainable development strategy, the company and its subsidiaries have implemented training programmes on business ethics and responsible business practices, including the prevention of bribery and corruption, as well as equality and inclusion. These training programmes are addressed both to management and employees and are tailored to the specific requirements of each job position. Special sessions are conducted for management teams to ensure a thorough understanding of key topics related to business ethics, such as money laundering, antitrust legislation, competition law, anti-corruption, and data privacy. In 2025, the total training budget exceeded €1 million, demonstrating the Group’s strong commitment to employee development. This amount is reported under line 4 of Table 8 in the Financial Statements.
Although no quantitative training targets have been established, each subsidiary maintains a training plan tailored to each job position and monitors its implementation progress for every employee, intending to fully cover training needs. The duration of these plans varies depending on the needs of each employee and ranges from six months to one year. Furthermore, the actions are continuously adapted to the needs and interests of personnel, ensuring that programmes remain relevant and effective.
In addition to standard and ongoing practical training in areas such as technical skills, health and safety, and environmental protection, the training and development initiatives include the following. These actions cover all areas of operation (Greece, Bulgaria), with a focus on both the companies’ current workforce and on younger generations and future employees.
• Orientation programmes. These initiatives target new employees and are conducted twice a year, enabling newly recruited staff to understand the complexity, scale, and quality of operations. These training programmes use internal resources and experts as trainers.
• Electronic orientation (e-orientation) for office employees. New employees with computer access complete comprehensive electronic courses within their first days, covering topics such as SAP Basics, office security, phishing, the Code of Business Ethics, etc.
• Internal training of trainers. To support and strengthen knowledge capital, employees are trained to become trainers themselves on a range of technical topics within their respective operational roles.
• In 2025, the 360-degree feedback programme was expanded to include more executives within the company, enabling them to receive feedback from supervisors, subordinates, and peer colleagues, alongside their self-assessment.
• Boost your career. Under the title #Learn.Grow.Become, ElvalHalcor organises full-day workshops for all individuals undertaking internships at the aluminium rolling division’s facilities, providing tools for future employment and a roadmap for their careers.

• #HalcorEdu. The copper and alloys extrusion division, in collaboration with academic institutions, delivers specialised lectures and training sessions.
• Grow Together. The core idea of “learning communities” is to cultivate talent and expertise and to leverage the company’s knowledge capital and resources outwardly. The first phase of the project included five initiatives during 2025, actively engaging more than 580 individuals, as well as collaborating with learning and education NGOs. The programme focuses on UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 on Quality Education and seeks to create a positive impact on communities through training and skills development workshops. In 2025, the partner organisations included AIESEC, Athens University of Economics and Business, IEEE University of Patras, BEST NTUA, and Junior Achievement, providing approximately 990 hours of training.
ElvalHalcor is committed to delivering high-quality training to its personnel and reflecting this performance through all relevant KPIs, while simultaneously attracting the most talented recent graduates. To further support this commitment, the company plans to explore opportunities in virtual learning and emerging technologies, placing greater emphasis on health and safety, environmental protection, the 5S system, quality, and sustainable development.
Measurement indicators and performance

Introduction: Impacts
Occupational health and safety is recognised as a fundamental aspect of the Group’s operations and sustainable development strategy. Due to the nature of its industrial activities and the associated value chains, this issue is considered material both for the company itself and for its collaborating entities. As such, health and safety have been assessed within the framework of the double materiality process, covering both the company’s operations and the upstream value chain. The negative impacts identified are primarily associated with workplace accidents or incidents that could hinder the ability to maintain a safe and healthy environment for the workforce, including direct and indirect employees as well as business partners. The categories of employees facing the highest risk are those in production and maintenance, as well as personnel working in the relevant factory shifts. Each job position has been analysed for potential risks, and management systems and employee training have been adapted accordingly. Workplace accidents may have significant adverse impacts in the short, medium, and long term, both within production facilities and across the upstream value chain. In the latter, workers may be exposed to higher risks due to contact with hazardous materials, heavy machinery, and physically demanding tasks.
Ensuring strict measures are a critical element for maintaining safe working conditions and reducing the likelihood of incidents across all production facilities associated with activities such as thermal metallurgy at high temperatures, the use of heavy machinery and equipment, chemical processes, and work at height. To address these risks, the company and its subsidiaries maintain dedicated specialised teams and oversight by senior management for the identification of risks, the implementation of investments and controls, the establishment of safety management principles and procedures, as well as continuous training on health and safety matters. This process, through preventive and proactive measures, strengthens overall safety.
The long-term action plan of the Group’s sustainable development strategy includes the following key elements:
• Identification of risks in relation to infrastructure (restricted access, Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) procedure, etc.).
• Development of a safety competency matrix for all employees based on the risk assessment of each unit.
• Implementation of dynamic safety governance practices, with clear allocation of roles and responsibilities.
• Monitoring of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) as a basis for improvement and accountability across the company and its subsidiaries.
• Linking safety programmes with the personal objectives and remuneration of executives.
Impacts related to occupational health and safety in upstream operations mainly concern the production of primary metals as well as the processing of raw materials. Potential incidents in these operations, particularly in regions with weaker health and safety regulatory frameworks, may not have immediate impacts on the companies’ operations but could adversely affect the overall reputation and credibility of the industry in various markets, disrupt supply chain flows, and negatively affect production planning. Responsible procurement criteria incorporate health and safety considerations, which are also a focus during the company’s on-site inspections and sustainability assessments.
Policies
The commitment to promoting the health and safety of employees and partners, including customers, suppliers, contractors, and visitors, is reflected in the respective Health and Safety Policy. This policy applies to all functions and business activities, and incorporates both upstream and downstream processes of the value chain. It was developed with careful consideration of the interests of key stakeholders, including the workforce, local communities, customers, and other relevant parties, ensuring that their concerns and expectations are integrated into the policy framework. Responsibility for implementing the policy lies with the senior management of each subsidiary, as well as with the respective Health and Safety departments. The policy is public and available to stakeholders on the companies’ websites. The senior management of the company and its subsidiaries, together with the relevant health and safety departments, are accountable for the effective implementation of the policy. The Group adheres to international frameworks, such as the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the International Labour Organization (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, and strictly complies with applicable legislation in all countries of operation.
According to this policy, the objective is: “No accidents and no occupational diseases”. To achieve this, all employees and business partners are expected to foster a culture of prevention, strictly comply with health and safety standards, assess and mitigate risks, report incidents thoroughly, communicate openly, prioritise training, ensure safe working conditions, and continuously improve their health and safety performance. A culture of risk prevention is promoted, in which all injuries and occupational illnesses can and must be prevented. This commitment includes transparent cooperation with
Annual Report 2025
85
all stakeholders on health and safety matters, as well as the continuous provision of training programmes that enhance skills development and knowledge sharing. Through the Code of Conduct for Business Partners, suppliers are required to maintain a healthy, safe, and secure working environment and to implement systems for reporting, investigating, and addressing health and safety incidents, in full compliance with applicable health and safety laws.
ElvalHalcor and all subsidiaries with production facilities, except for Metallourgiki Ipeirou, implement a certified occupational health and safety management system in accordance with the international standard ISO 45001:2018. The system covers the effective monitoring, assessment and minimization of factors that may lead to workplace incidents or occupational illnesses.
Actions and targets
The Health and Safety departments of the subsidiaries play a critical role in fostering a strong safety culture, under the supervision of senior management (including the Chief Executive Officer and those reporting directly to him). The participation of employees and business partners constitutes a key feedback mechanism that supports the continuous improvement of the processes and safety measures across the subsidiaries. This engagement occurs through ad hoc, monthly, and on- the-job meetings, during which health and safety reports are reviewed, including updates on indicators and critical action plans. This approach fosters a collaborative and proactive safety culture that prioritises the well-being of the workforce and the sustainability of operations.
The Health and Safety culture is fostered through consultations, safety workshops, training, and feedback sessions as part of the overall Improvement Action Plan (IAP). Monthly updates on indicators are conducted by the company and its subsidiaries, and high-priority programmes such as Lock-out/Tag-out (LoTo) procedures, machine safety, and work at height, are regularly evaluated. These updates include measurement indicators, such as safety inspections, near-miss incidents, completion rates of corrective actions, and the effectiveness of training. This process constitutes a key tool for evaluating the implementation of training, the utilisation of the budget, and risk mitigation projects. Lessons learned and insights derived from incidents are communicated alongside updates on relevant regulations and industry benchmarking.
The companies’ commitment to health and safety is guided by strong leadership at all levels. Senior management actively promotes a safety culture, while all managerial staff participate in safety leadership initiatives. Comprehensive training programmes are offered to strengthen knowledge and leadership in safety matters, in collaboration with Health and Safety Coordinators. The safety leadership framework includes a skills matrix to assess and improve the safety management capabilities of managers, ensuring the effective implementation of safety practices.
Furthermore, employees have the opportunity to raise their concerns through multiple channels, such as the Integrity Line or through in-person meetings with personnel or with the heads of the Health and Safety departments (more information is provided in the Business Ethics chapter). The company conducts occupational risk assessments for all job positions, while all personnel regularly attend interactive seminars that enhance their active participation. These seminars provide continuous updates as well as feedback.
With regard to remediation actions when issues related to employees’ health and safety arise, the company provides medical support through the continuous presence of medical personnel at its facilities, the transfer of the employee to the nearest medical centre, and the coverage of medical expenses. In addition, following every workplace accident, the responsible department conducts a 5-Whys analysis to investigate, identify, and address the root causes. Findings are subsequently presented to senior management as well as to the other departments, to trigger discussion and prevent recurrence. The companies’ management, together with the Health and Safety departments, is responsible for implementing remediation actions as well as for integrating the results and feedback into the companies’ approach.
The effectiveness of engagement with the workforce is systematically evaluated through a comprehensive assessment framework, incorporating multiple methods and indicators to ensure that initiatives achieve their intended outcomes and support continuous improvement of health and safety practices.
Key elements of the assessment process include:
• Performance evaluations: Regular performance assessments are conducted, providing valuable insights into the contribution of individuals and teams to health and safety objectives. This process aligns individual performance with organisational goals.
• Leading and lagging indicators (KPIs): A comprehensive set of indicators is used. Leading indicators (such as training completion rates, safety inspection scores, reports of unsafe conditions, and near-miss incidents) enable the proactive identification of areas for improvement. Lagging indicators (such as accident frequency and severity rates) assess the overall effectiveness of safety measures.
• Target setting and review: Employees are actively involved in setting safety targets and regularly review progress, incorporating their suggestions into the safety strategy.
ElvalHalcor
86
• Implementation of critical projects: The outcomes of projects aimed at improving safety practices, such as the introduction of new technologies or modifications to procedures, are thoroughly evaluated.
• Improvement Action Plans (IAP): ElvalHalcor closely monitors the progress of the annual Improvement Action Plans. The 2025 IAP includes initiatives that require coordinated efforts across departments. Progress is reviewed regularly and adjusted based on employee feedback and audit findings. In addition, the implementation of these actions is strategically linked to senior management performance indicators, underscoring the priority given to health and safety.
ElvalHalcor seeks to understand and respond to the needs of its workforce through a multidimensional approach. This includes a comprehensive Health Management Programme with specialised physicians on-site, regular assessments, and individual consultations with employees. At the same time, health and wellbeing initiatives provide personalised support, such as mental health counselling, stress management seminars, and ergonomic assessments. The company and its subsidiaries implement a Health and Safety Improvement Action Plan (IAP), a structured, risk-based programme designed to reduce occupational health and safety risks and enhance the workforce's well-being across all production facilities. The IAP translates the company’s health and safety strategy into measurable operational initiatives, focusing on high-risk activities, engineering controls, skills development, and compliance with established standards.
The IAP is updated annually and includes specific targets and actions to be completed within the year. For 2025, the objectives include full implementation of the approved health and safety budget, including initiatives such as HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Studies) and fire safety improvements. At the same time, it sets the goal of full compliance with safety training for the relevant workforce, based on role-specific risk assessments (excluding employees hired at the end of the year who complete the training in the following cycle).
In the area of machine safety, the IAP includes the completion of implementation studies for all relevant equipment and the installation of mechanical guarding on at least 80% of the machinery. For work at height, the objective is the consistent application of the Permit to Work (PTW) system and full compliance with relevant standards. In addition, specialised Lockout/ Tagout (LoTo) procedures are to be issued for each piece of equipment across all production operations.
In 2025, the IAP was further strengthened with new targets related to high-risk activities. The companies seek alignment with the Compressed Gas Management Standard, which establishes harmonised requirements for the safe storage, handling, and use of compressed gases, aiming to reduce the likelihood and severity of process safety incidents. Compliance with this standard is monitored alongside key priority areas, such as Machine Safety, LoTo, and Work at Height.
The 2025 IAP also introduced a target related to skills development, requiring the creation and implementation of a specialised Supervisors’ Skill Matrix for production facilities, aimed at assessing and enhancing supervisory capabilities in managing high-risk activities, supporting consistent quality supervision across facilities, and reinforcing the company’s safety culture.
Concerning progress in 2025, ElvalHalcor monitored performance through a consolidated scoring methodology that aggregates the implementation progress of planned safety initiatives across all industrial operations. The annual IAP target is the full implementation (100%) of the planned actions by the end of the year. In 2025, overall progress remained strong, reflecting substantial advancement towards achieving this target. These initiatives align with the core objectives of ElvalHalcor’s Health & Safety Policy (such as fostering a risk prevention culture, compliance with regulations and standards, protection of health and safety in the workplace, continuous improvement, and systematic monitoring), while progress is continuously evaluated, and adjustments are made as necessary to ensure full achievement of the targets by the end of 2025.
With respect to the annual target of 100% implementation of the IAP across all business sectors, performance varied by sector, while overall maintaining a positive trajectory. The aluminium sector achieved an implementation rate of 92%, with the majority of high-priority initiatives substantially completed. The copper and copper alloys extrusion sector achieved an overall rate of 73%, demonstrating significant progress while also highlighting areas for further improvement in selected technical aspects.
Progress against IAP initiatives is reviewed on a quarterly basis, with actions prioritised according to the risk profile of each facility. These initiatives support the objectives of ElvalHalcor’s Health & Safety Policy, including fostering a culture
Annual Report 2025
87
of prevention, ensuring compliance with applicable standards, promoting continuous improvement, and maintaining systematic monitoring. Where implementation gaps are identified, corrective actions and adjustments are applied to ensure completion within the defined cycle.
The company actively involves its workforce in defining and managing these targets to ensure that they address material risks. Performance is monitored through feedback meetings and regular performance evaluations, enabling timely adjustments to the strategy. Subsidiaries place particular emphasis on leading KPIs, such as reports of unsafe conditions, near-miss incidents, and the completion of training programmes, reflecting their proactive approach to creating a safer working environment and fostering continuous improvement. Ultimately, the engagement of employees in the setting and monitoring of targets reinforces the company’s commitment to safety.
With regard to actual negative impacts within the supply chain, the Group has integrated health and safety considerations into its supplier due diligence process. This process, for which further details can be found in the chapter “Responsible Procurement” (p. 92), includes the evaluation of suppliers to ensure compliance with international standards, using tools provided by EcoVadis. Responsibility for this process lies in the collaboration between multiple departments, including Sustainability, Procurement and the Legal department. The process encompasses supplier prioritisation, risk assessment, and improvement actions. The company’s objectives for Responsible Procurement are closely aligned with its Health and Safety objectives in the supply chain. The Group has not established direct communication with workers in the value chain outside its facilities, nor with any representatives of such workers, regarding Health and Safety matters. With regard to the employees of business partners operating within the Group’s production facilities, subsidiaries apply the same communication channels, policies, procedures, and remediation actions as those applied to their own personnel, as described in the Health and Safety Policy.
The Group’s total annual expenditure in 2025 amounted to € 13,776 thousand, while the corresponding amount for ElvalHalcor was € 8,009 thousand. These expenditures mainly relate to the implementation of preventive and corrective actions under the Health and Safety Improvement Action Plan (IAP), the upgrading of machinery protection systems, protection measures for work at height, Lockout/Tagout (LoTo) controls, compressed gas management measures, contractor safety management, and the development of safety technologies across industrial facilities. Capital expenditures were mainly allocated to studies, equipment upgrades, installation of mechanical safeguarding systems, fire protection systems, and other risk-mitigation investments. Operating expenditures cover safety training programmes, external audits, personal protective equipment (PPE), contractor induction and training, safety inspections, and the continuous monitoring of compliance.
Part of these expenditures also relates to remediation actions following incident investigations, including corrective measures based on root cause analysis and the strengthening of controls in high-risk operations. Health and safety-related expenditures cannot be directly identified as a separate line item in the Financial Statements, as they are integrated into broader operating, payroll, and capital expenditures and are not reported separately under the applicable accounting standards. These expenditures are included in Paragraph 8 (Expenditures) of the Financial Statements, under third-party fees and other expenses.

ElvalHalcor and all subsidiaries with production facilities, except for Metallourgiki Ipeirou, implement a certified occupational health and safety management system in accordance with the international standard ISO 45001:2018. The system covers the effective monitoring, assessment and minimization of factors that may lead to workplace incidents or occupational illnesses, and applies to 99% of the Group’s employees 17 .
16 The information presented above includes both directly and indirectly employed workers. The accident rate is calculated by dividing the corresponding number of incidents by the total number of hours worked and multiplying the result by 1,000,000. The number of lost days of absence refers to calendar days and includes the first full day and the last day of absence, as well as days on which the affected individual was not scheduled to work (weekends, rest days, public holidays).
This indicator, as disclosed in the Sustainability Report of the previous financial year (for the period from 01.01.2024 to 31.12.2024), was found not to be fully aligned with the corresponding definition under the ESRS, which affected the method used to calculate the relevant days. The indicator has now been updated to reflect calendar days of absence directly associated with recorded injuries, in accordance with the ESRS definition.
As a result, the disclosed figures for 2024 are restated as follows: for the Group, the reported figure of 885 is restated to 1,257, and for the Company, the figure of 353 is restated to 494.
The severity rate expresses the number of days of absence per 1,000,000 hours worked. Days of absence refer to days on which the employee was absent due to injury or illness, and are counted from the first day following the accident. In the table, the figures shown in parentheses represent the prior year’s disclosure of lost days due to injuries, which has been revised to ensure proper coverage in accordance with indica- tor S1-14.
17 The prior year’s disclosure regarding employee coverage by management systems (100%) referred to the total number of certified produc- tion companies. Based on the applicable requirements (ESRS 21-16), the corresponding percentage for the previous year was 96%. For 2023, employee coverage was 96.5%. For ElvalHalcor, the coverage rate remains 100%, consistent with the years 2023 and 2024.

Responsible Procurement
G1-2, SBM-3
Introduction: Impacts, risks, and opportunities
The Group sets high standards regarding the quality and sustainability of products and services sourced from suppliers and business partners, aiming to strengthen responsible production throughout the supply chain. The Group relies extensively on raw materials supplied by primary metal producers worldwide, as well as on scrap sourced from a diverse global supplier network. Given the Group’s position within the aluminium and copper value chain, a significant portion of its overall environmental and social footprint originates from upstream activities. Consequently, the absence of due diligence processes within the supply chain may negatively impact the sustainability performance and overall footprint of the Group’s products.
In this context, the adoption of sustainable practices and robust governance is of critical importance for mitigating potential risks associated with the environmental and social footprint of the supply chain. At the same time, the development of strong and long-term business partnerships is supported. The Group’s materiality assessment indicated that many of the sustainability topics deemed critical extend to the upstream level, and therefore fall outside the direct operational control of ElvalHalcor and its subsidiaries. These topics include climate change impacts and carbon footprint, human rights, and health and safety. For this reason, the scope of Responsible Procurement encompasses a broad range of issues.
Unethical business practices, inadequate governance, irresponsible environmental management, and human rights violations can disrupt supply chains and business operations, while potentially harming the companies’ reputation. The Group seeks to minimise these risks and promote sustainable principles throughout the entire value chain, from the extraction of raw materials to the end consumers, and even beyond the end of the products’ life cycle.
The implementation and management of the Responsible Procurement Policy, as well as the assessment of impacts, risks, and opportunities, are carried out under the supervision of the senior management of the Procurement and Sustainability departments.
Policies and procedures
The Group has developed and implemented a Responsible Procurement Policy aimed at evaluating and engaging suppliers, ensuring the proper assessment of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices and performance, identifying risks, and supporting continuous improvement. The implementation of the policy is assigned to the respective Sustainability and Procurement departments of the companies, which ensure that appropriate governance structures are in place to monitor compliance with the principles of Responsible Procurement and the Code of Conduct for Business Partners. The Code of Conduct for Business Partners sets out the scope of the Group companies’ expectations regarding the principles, policies, procedures, and performance of suppliers across all material sustainability topics, as well as other Environmental, Social, and Governance matters. It is regularly communicated to all suppliers, with a request for co-signature (following amendments or every three years), and forms part of new contracts or the onboarding of new suppliers. Both the Code and the Policy were updated in 2024 to align with ESRS criteria and to integrate the expectations and requirements of all relevant stakeholders, including suppliers and customers.
The policy has been designed to integrate all the aforementioned criteria into the procurement process and applies to all suppliers, contractors, agents and business partners in the upstream value chain, ensuring compliance with applicable legislation and recognised guidelines, such as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct, the EU Regulation on conflict minerals, and the UK Modern Slavery Act. It also incorporates the expectations and requirements of all stakeholders, including those in the downstream value chain and the end users of the final products. The policy includes procedures implemented by the Sustainability, Procurement and Legal departments and complements the Code of Conduct for Business Partners, under which business partners are required to sign and comply with the key principles of sustainable development, while committing to promote and implement these principles within their own supply chains through the most appropriate means, such as training, relevant documentation, and other initiatives. For identifying, reporting, and investigating concerns regarding behaviours and practices inconsistent with the Code of Conduct for Business Partners, the Group ensures the availability of the Integrity Line as a reporting channel, guaranteeing that concerns can be raised without retaliation. The policy places particular emphasis on conflict minerals, requiring suppliers to conduct due diligence to prevent their use. In 2025, no incidents related to business ethics, corruption, human rights, regulatory compliance, data protection, or workplace harassment were reported within the supply chain.
Another element of the policy is ensuring that payments are made in accordance with contractual terms, promoting timely settlements and reducing the risk of late payments, thereby preventing negative impacts on suppliers and stakeholders. The Group leverages its commercial influence to encourage improvements in suppliers’ sustainability performance and actively promotes responsible practices throughout the supply chain.

Actions, performance, targets, and measurement indicators
To ensure the effective implementation of the Responsible Procurement Policy and the Code of Conduct for Business Partners, the Group has adopted a comprehensive due diligence process aimed at identifying and managing risks throughout the supply chain. Since sustainability criteria are not initially incorporated in the supplier selection process, the Group has developed a risk and opportunity assessment procedure. This process aims to mitigate potential disruptions that could result in contractual penalties, production suspension, or reputational damage for the companies. At the same time, it highlights the importance of responsible procurement in ensuring business continuity, maintaining a strong reputation, and complying with regulatory standards. The process includes systematic engagement with suppliers to understand and mitigate operational risks, improve their processes, and ensure the high-quality and timely delivery of products and services. This approach aligns with the EU regulation on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector and serves as a precursor to the company’s approach to the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. Key steps include the initial mapping and assessment of suppliers, continuous monitoring of high-risk suppliers, and corrective actions in cases of non-compliance with sustainability and human rights standards. This process is implemented across all subsidiaries and involves multiple departments. Sustainability coordinators ensure the proper implementation of due diligence tools and the appropriate training of personnel. The Procurement and Metals departments conduct initial supplier assessments and monitor their compliance with the requirements. In addition, the Legal and Compliance teams oversee high-risk supplier contracts.
The process follows a structured workflow, beginning with the mapping, A-B-C classification, and prioritisation of suppliers based on expenditure, where Category A refers to the top 20.
The preliminary assessment of significant suppliers is conducted based on country and sector risk, and is followed by additional assessments of high-risk suppliers, including tailored improvement action plans. The main suppliers (Category A) undergo a more comprehensive assessment, based on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. The coordination of this process is facilitated through the international EcoVadis assessment platform. Since 2022, the Group has set the objective of assessing the sustainability performance of the top 20 suppliers per subsidiary and business sector, covering 100% of annual expenditure. Supplier assessments on the EcoVadis platform are considered valid for three years , based on the Group’s assessment of performance changes within the relevant value chains, unless the Procurement departments and Sustainability coordinators determine that a reassessment is required within a shorter timeframe. Additional factors are also taken into account in this evaluation, such as fluctuations in the significance of expenditure, the presence or absence of other certifications, disclosures, and news relating to the supplier. Furthermore, as the process also reflects stakeholder priorities—with emphasis on the downstream value chain and end users—industry and market dynamics and trends are also considered in the evaluation. For the reporting year, the Group covered 72.2% of the top-20 expenses through the program. Supplier participation in the sustainability assessment is considered essential and complements other assessment and evaluation tools, such as certifications, questionnaires, on-site audits, and other credentials. EcoVadis evaluates companies based on a wide range of sustainability criteria, including environment, human rights, ethics, occupational health and safety, and responsible procurement. The platform’s assessment criteria include companies’ practices, policies, internal corporate targets and indicators, alongside their sustainability-related certifications. The results provide companies with valuable insights to support informed decision-making and the evaluation of business partner risks. Since the launch of the initiative in 2022, ElvalHalcor has assessed more than 50 suppliers through EcoVadis, including suppliers beyond the top 20 (excluding intra-group transactions). Measures to address any potential non-compliance are expected to be developed by the company and its subsidiaries over the next two years, with a planning horizon extending to 2030
Regarding the performance of the Group and the Company, as shown in the graph below, for the 2025 reporting year, coverage of top-20 expenses reached 80% for the ElvalHalcor and 72.4% for the Group, marking a slight improvement compared to the corresponding 2024 values (76% and 69%, respectively).
In 2025, the Group expanded its collaboration with EcoVadis and introduced the IQ Platform. Hundreds of suppliers were assessed in terms of country risk and industry risk through a process that generates specific recommended actions for the Group’s companies. As a result, the companies are expanding the scope of suppliers under assessment, while the outcomes of this initiative-expected to continue through 2026-will be disclosed in the next reporting cycle. At the same time, ElvalHalcor and Symetal conduct self-assessments on the EcoVadis platform, with 2025 marking an improvement in their respective performance results, maintaining the Gold-level distinction.
For ElvalHalcor, another important due diligence tool is the coverage of certifications under the international initiative for responsible aluminium production, the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI). The aluminium rolling division has been a
ElvalHalcor
94
member of ASI since 2019 and became the first company in Greece to be certified under the organisation’s Performance Standard (PS) in 2020, while it was recertified under the revised standard in 2023. The standard supports responsible supply chains in the aluminium sector through shared objectives for environmental, social, and governance performance. It fosters trust among consumers and stakeholders in the aluminium industry and its products, as the certification constitutes an internationally recognised benchmark for responsible production. The second ASI standard is the Chain of Custody (CoC), under which the company was successfully recertified in 2024, following its initial certification in 2021. The CoC has been designed to create responsible value chains among aluminium producers certified by ASI, enabling the production and distribution of ASI-compliant aluminium flows through to the final products. Part of the requirements of the standard includes a comprehensive due diligence review of the supply chain. The company aims to achieve recertification under the Performance Standard by 2026.

Business conduct
G1-1, G1-3, G1-4
Introduction and policies
ElvalHalcor implements robust internal control mechanisms and procedures. The Code of Business Conduct, updated in 2024, provides a comprehensive framework for business culture and fundamental principles and is aligned with the United Nations Convention against Corruption. The Code sets out the core values, guidelines, and key issues that the Group considers fundamental to its business operations. Specifically, it outlines the principles related to anti-corruption, social responsibility, human rights protection, environmental stewardship, as well as the health and safety of employees and partners. ElvalHalcor and its subsidiaries place strong emphasis on business ethics and the fight against corruption. The Code of Business Conduct serves as a guiding document outlining the expected standards of behaviour for all employees, and also takes into account the interests of key stakeholders. Responsibility for the implementation of this policy lies with the senior management of each subsidiary.
The Group has established appropriate channels enabling any individual, whether within or outside ElvalHalcor and its subsidiaries, to report illegal conduct or practices that are inconsistent with the Code of Conduct. Reports may be submitted anonymously through the established Integrity Line, a publicly accessible platform on the corporate website, as well as via telephone or email. Individuals who submit reports in good faith are protected from any form of retaliation, in accordance with the applicable legislation transposing Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council into Greek law.
Risk management and operating framework
The Group has established a process for identifying, assessing, and preventing risks associated with business conduct. This process includes the following key safeguards.
• Compliance and Risk Management Departments. The purpose of the Risk Management unit is to support the Board of Directors in identifying, assessing and managing the most significant risks associated with business activities, operations and overall strategy through the implementation of appropriate and effective policies and procedures, such as the Annual Risk Assessment Exercise, Risk and Control Self-Assessment, the systematic monitoring of Key Risk Indicators, as well as other tools. The ElvalHalcor risk management framework has been designed to identify, assess, and manage existing and emerging risks and opportunities, with emphasis on the principle of prevention, aligned with best practices, such as the COSO Enterprise Risk Management – Integrating with Strategy and Performance (ERM Framework) and ISO 31000.
• Integrity Line. Since 2022, a reporting and whistleblowing mechanism has been in place through which all internal and external stakeholders are encouraged to submit reports regarding any incidents of violations of the Code of Conduct, as well as any criminal acts or suspected incidents of unlawful behaviour in relation to the company’s regulations and procedures. The mechanism, fully aligned with the requirements of Law 4990/2022, ensures anonymity and the full protection of individuals who provide information. Each report received through the Integrity Line is promptly investigated by extensively trained and experienced personnel that is appointed outside the direct hierarchical reporting lines of management, ensuring independence and impartiality. Reports are automatically transferred to a secure environment to prevent any breach of confidentiality. Subsequently, the senior management is duly informed. Each designated recipient of a report has received specialized training to ensure strict confidentiality in handling each case. In 2025, no incidents related to corruption, bribery, or personal data breaches were recorded.
• Internal audit. The internal audit function monitors the company’s business activities and identifies risks or cases of potential misconduct or improper transactions.
• Employee training on business ethics and the Code of Conduct . Over the past three years, the Group has implemented specialised training programmes on corruption prevention as well as awareness of the Code of Conduct across all subsidiaries. These programmes are mandatory for all employees, including senior management, as stipulated in the Code of Conduct. The purpose of these programmes is to ensure that all employees can recognise and prevent incidents of corruption, with particular emphasis on departments and teams that may be more exposed due to the nature of their activities (Procurement Department, Sales Department, Finance Department
• Policies. Any updates to the Code of Business Conduct or other policies are communicated to the entire workforce through the intranet or other communication channels and are also distributed in printed form. They are also included in the onboarding documentation for newly hired employees.
For 2025 as in the previous two years, no incidents related to business ethics, corruption, human rights, regulatory compliance, data protection,or workplace harassment were reported. Furthermore, no related convictions or resulting fines or penalties occurred. This includes cases initiated in previous years whose outcomes fall within the current reporting period. It should also be noted that, apart from the above-mentioned measures, there are no specific projects relating to Business Conduct.

Corporate Governance Statement
1. Rules of Operation – Corporate Governance Code
The Company has an updated Rules of Operation, according to article 14 of Law 4706/2020, as in force. The said Rules of Operation include, in particular, the organizational structure of the Company, its Units and Committees, their object, the policies and procedures applied by the Company, the characteristics of the Company's Internal Control System etc., while a summary of the Regulation of Operation has been published on the Company’s website https://www.elvalhalcor.com/ investor-relations/corporate-governance/rules-of-operation, in accordance with the provisions of article 14 par. 2 point b) of Law 4706/2020.
Also, the Company, pursuant to the decision of its Board of Directors of 12.07.2021, has adopted and implements the Hel- lenic Corporate Governance Code issued in June 2021 by the Hellenic Corporate Governance Council (HGCC), as recognized by the Board of Directors of the Committee Capital Market during its 916th/7.6.2021 meeting (see press release of the Capital Market Commission of 07.06.2021), as a National Authority of Recognized Validity for the issuance of a Corporate Governance Code, according to the provisions of law 4706/2020 and nr. 2/905/3.3.2021 Decision of the Board of Directors of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission (hereinafter the “Code”), which is available on the internet at the link:
https://www.esed.org.gr/documents/20121/62611/Hellenic+Corporate+Governance+Code+2021.pdf/f1a35fbf-1126- ca0e-160c-dbdc55c7198a?t=1626350753153 which is also posted on the Company website (https://www.elvalhalcor.com/ investor-relations/corporate-governance/corporate-governance-charter/).
- The Company complies with the Code, with deviations (according to the relevant decisions of its Board of Directors of the Company of 12.07.2021, 15.03.2022 and 17.02.2023) from certain paragraphs thereof, which, according to the Code, relate to “Special Practices” governed by the “comply or explain” principle. According to the decision of the Board of Directors dated 14.04.2025, these deviations are justified (article 152 par. 1 per. B) Law 4548/2018 and Part E of the Code) and are explained as follows:
- Special Practices of par. 1.14, 2.3.4, 3.1.5, 3.3.4, 3.3.8 and 3.3.12 of the Code: These Special Practices refer to the Man- aging Director. The Articles of Association (article 13 par. 1) of the Company, as in force, provide for the possibility of electing one or more Managing Directors by the Board of Directors of the Company was provided, defining at the same time their responsibilities. The current Board of Directors of the Company elected by the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company of 22.05.2025, has not appointed a Managing Director (whose appointment is not man- datory under law), and has assigned specific powers of management and representation of the Company to one or more persons, members of the Board of Directors (authorized Directors) or not, reserving otherwise to the Board of Directors itself the management and representation of the Company collectively. Therefore, the corresponding deviations from the above Special Practices (pursuant to the decision of its Board of Directors of 12.07.2021) exist, as long as the Board of Directors has not elected a Managing Director. According to the current, updated with Law 4706/2020, Rules of Operation of the Company, in the absence of a Managing Director, the responsibilities provided for by the Managing Director according to Law 4706/2020 (e.g. a person, to whom administratively reports the Head of the Internal Audit Unit) are exercised by the Vice President of the Board of Directors of the Company who is an executive member. It is therefore considered that there is no risk from this deviation.
- Regarding the Special Practice of par. 3.3.3, 3.3.4, 3.3.5 and 3.3.8 of the Code (regarding the annual evaluation of the Board of Directors), it is noted that the planned evaluation of the Board of Directors on an annual basis mainly concerns Boards of Directors with a term of office longer than one year. In the case of the Company, the relevant discrepancy does not exist in principle, but may occur, for practical reasons, due to the fact that the term of the Board of Directors of the Company, according to article 11 par. 1 of its articles of association, is annual (extended automatically until the expiration of the deadline within which the next Ordinary General Meeting must convene and until the relevant decision is taken, not exceeding two years). Therefore, with the lapse of one year from the election of the Board of Directors of the Company, when it is foreseen that its evaluation take place according to the above Special Practice, as a rule, its term expires, and in any case if a new Board of Directors is elected. In this case, that assessment becomes, in principle, devoid of purpose. It is estimated that in this case there is no risk of this deviation, as a new Board of Directors will be elected, following the evaluation process of the candidates to be elected members from the beginning, in accordance with the Company Suitability Policy. If in any way the term of the Board of Directors of the Company is extended beyond one year, the Company will arrange for the annual evaluation of the Board of Directors, in accordance with the above Special Practice. In the present case, from the election of the existing Board of Directors by the Ordinary General Meeting of its shareholders on 23.05.2025 until the date of the present, less than one year has lapsed. Therefore, upon the completion of one year from the election of the current Board of Directors and depending on whether his term of office will expire or be extended as mentioned above, the Company will consider whether it is appropriate for such an evaluation to take place.

- Regarding the Special Practice of par. 8.4, 8.5 of the Co de (regarding the use of a communication platform to ensure a con- structive dialogue between the Company and its shareholders): The Company, under the responsibility of the Shareholder Service Unit and Corporate Announcements, uses basically the corporate website to provide shareholders with adequate and equal access to information and generally to communicate with them on a regular basis. The Company is currently in the final stage of upgrading its website environment, which will thereby acquire the characteristics of a communication platform, with the aim of strengthening constructive dialogue between the Company and its shareholders. Following the launch of the new website, the aforementioned Special Practice will no longer be subject to any deviation.
The Company will examine periodically on whether the above deviations continue to serve the corporate interest and will proceed to the necessary adjustments.

2.2 Evaluation of corporate strategy, main business risks, Internal Audit System and Corporate Governance System
The Company’s Board of Directors states that it has examined the main business risks that the Group faces as well as the Internal Audit System. On an annual basis, the Board of Directors reviews the corporate strategy, main business risks and Internal Control System, on the basis of a relevant proposal by the Audit Committee.
Furthermore, given that as of 31 December 2025 three (3) financial years (2023, 2024 and 2025) had elapsed since the previous (first) evaluation of the Company’s Internal Control System [with reference date 31 December 2022 and reference period from the entry into force of Article 14 of Law 4706/2020 (17.07.2021)], in accordance with article 14(3)(i) of Law 4706/2020 and Decision No. 1/891/30.9.2020 of the Board of Directors of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission, as amended by Decision No. 2/917/17.6.2021 of the Board of Directors of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission and currently in force, the second (2nd) evaluation of the Company’s Internal Control System was conducted, covering the reference period from 01.01.2023 to 31.12.2025 (financial years 2023, 2024 and 2025), also in accordance with the relevant documents of the Listed Companies Directorate, Supervision Department of Listed Companies of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission, with protocol numbers 434/24.02.2025 (subject: “Remarks, clarifications and recommendations regarding the actions of listed companies in view of the publication of the Annual Financial Reports as of 31.12.2024 in the context of corporate governance”) and 151/29.01.2026 (subject: “Remarks, clarifications and recommendations regarding the Evaluation of the Internal Control System pursuant to Decision 1/891/30.09.2020 of the Board of Directors of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission, as in force”).

Moreover, in accordance with the relevant recommendation contained in the document of the Listed Companies Direc- torate, Supervision Department of Listed Companies of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission with protocol number 434/24.02.2025 (subject: “Remarks, clarifications and recommendations regarding the actions of listed companies in view of the publication of the Annual Financial Reports as of 31.12.2024 in the context of corporate governance”), the second (2nd) evaluation of the implementation and effectiveness of the Company’s Corporate Governance System under articles 1 to 24 of Law 4706/2020 was conducted, covering the reference period from 01.01.2023 to 31.12.2025 (financial years 2023, 2024 and 2025), in accordance with article 4(1) of Law 4706/2020.

According to the “Independent Auditor’s Assurance Report on the Evaluation of the Corporate Governance System in accordance with the obligations provided for in article 4(1) of Law 4706/2020” dated 24.02.2026, issued by the above audit firm and communicated to the Company following completion of the evaluation engagement, based on the evaluation work performed and the evidence obtained regarding the assessment of the implementation and effectiveness of the Compa- ny’s Corporate Governance System, with reference date 31.12.2025, nothing has come to the attention of the above audit firm that could be considered a material weakness of the Corporate Governance System, in accordance with the relevant applicable criteria (required elements pursuant to article 13(1) of Law 4706/2020 and compliance with the obligations arising from articles 1 to 24 of Law 4706/2020).
2.3 Provision of non-audit services to the Company by its statutory auditors and evaluation of the effect that this fact may have on the objectivity and effectiveness of mandatory audit, taking also into consideration the provisions of Law 4449/2017
The statutory auditors of the Company for the financial year 2025, “PriceWaterHouseCoopers Auditing Company SA” (AM SOEL 113) (65 Kifisias Av. PC:15124, Marousi, tel: 2106874400) have been elected by the Ordinary General Meeting of the Company’s Shareholders on 22.05.2025.
Regarding financial year 2025, the fees of the above auditors for the audit of the financial statements of the Company amounted to 258.850 Euros (2024: Euros 258.850) plus VAT, for tax audit to 53.100 Euros (2024: 51.500 Euros) plus VAT and for other services (including the provision of an assurance engagement with a limited level of assurance regarding sustainability information to be reported by the Company, for the year 2025) to 139.340 Euros (2024: 233.984 Euros) plus VAT. At a Group level for statutory audit amounted to 395.200 Euros (2024: 390.400 Euros) plus VAT, for tax audit 81.000 Euros (2024: 84.000 Euros) plus VAT and for other services to Euros 146.440 (2024: 246.566 Euros).
Given that the statutory auditors, by virtue of the nature of their audit engagement, have a comprehensive and detailed under- standing of the Company’s activities, both on a standalone and on a consolidated / group level, it may in certain cases be more effective and cost-efficient for the statutory auditors to provide specific non-audit services. Since safeguarding the objectivity and independence of the statutory auditors constitutes a paramount priority, it is assessed and documented on a case-by-case basis that the provision of non-audit services permitted by law will not affect the independence or objectivity of the statutory auditors.

The above elected Board of Directors was formed in a body during its meeting on 22.05.2025, in which the representation of the Company was also determined. In the said meeting, the Board of Directors of the Company, taking into account the long professional audit experience of the independent non-executive member of the Board of Directors of the Company, Mr. Vassilios Loumiotis of Ioannis, his high scientific training and his teaching experience in the field of auditing and accounting and his managerial skills from his participation, as a member, in boards of directors of companies and from his tenure so far, as a member and Chairman, in committees of listed companies, including the Company, decided unanimously and appointed him as a Senior Independent Director, within the meaning of the relevant Special Practice of paragraphs 2.2.21 - 2.2.23 of the Corporate Governance Code applied by the Company (Hellenic Corporate Governance Code of the H.C.G.C. of June 2021) with the competencies provided in the above-mentioned provisions of the above Corporate Governance Code.
The current Board of Directors of the Company consists of twelve (12) members and has the following composition:
(1) Michael N. Stassinopoulos, Chairman, Non-Executive Member.
(2) Konstantinos Katsaros, Vice-chairman, Executive Member.
(3) Nikolaos Carabateas, Aluminium Segment General Manager, Executive Member.
(4) Panagiotis Lolos, Copper Segment General Manager, Executive Member.
(5) Dimitrios Kyriakopoulos, Non-Executive Member.
(6) Elias Stassinopoulos, Non-Executive Member.
(7) Aikaterini-Nafsika Kantzia, Non-Executive Member.
(8) Athanasia Kleniati Papaioannou, Non-Executive Member.
(9) Vasileios Loumiotis, Senior Independent Non-Executive Member.
(10) Plutarchos Sakellaris, Independent Non-Executive Member.
(11) Ourania Ekaterinari, Independent, Non-Executive Member.
(12) Georgios Lakkotrypis, Ιndependent Non-Executive Member.
From the twelve (12) in total members of the Board of Directors:
• three (3) are executive members,
• five (5) are non-executive members,
• four (4) are independent non-executive members,
• nine (9) are men and three (3) are women.
Pursuant to article 3C(3) of Law 4706/2020 and paragraph 4 of the letter with protocol number 434/24.02.2025 of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission addressed to companies with securities listed on the Athens Stock Exchange, enti- tled “Remarks, clarifications and recommendations regarding the actions of listed companies in view of the publication of the Annual Financial Reports as of 31.12.2024 in the context of corporate governance”, it is noted that the percentage of representation of the underrepresented gender (in this case, women) on the Company’s Board of Directors amounts to 25%, since three (3) out of the total of twelve (12) members of the Board of Directors are women, of whom two (2) are non-executive members and one (1) is an independent non-executive member of the Board of Directors.
At present, among the three (3) female members of the Board of Directors, none holds the position of executive member of the Board of Directors.
It is noted that the provision of article 3A(4) of Law 4706/2020, which stipulates that, in the Board of Directors of a company falling within the scope of article 3A(3) of Law 4706/2020 (within which the Company falls), where three (3) or more exec- utive members participate, the minimum number of members of the underrepresented gender on the Board of Directors

The Company will undertake the necessary actions to comply with the above obligation within the deadline provided by law (article 17(3) of Law 5178/2025), provided that three (3) or more executive members continue to participate on the Company’s Board of Directors.
Further information regarding the above is included in the Company’s special annual report for the year 2025, prepared in accordance with article 3C of Law 4706/2020 (as introduced by article 7 of Law 5178/2025), taking also into account the letter with protocol number 12678/08.09.2025 of the General Secretariat for Equality and Human Rights of the Ministry of Social Cohesion and Family, as well as the aforementioned letter with protocol number 434/24.02.2025 of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission, given that the Company, based on its financial statements for the financial year 2024, exceeds the quantitative thresholds of the criteria (number of employees, annual turnover / annual balance sheet total) set out in article 3A(3) of Law 4706/2020 (as introduced by article 5 of Law 5178/2025).
The above special annual report is published on the Company’s website (https://www.elvalhalcor.com/userfiles/225d38ab- 9b23-4522-9e62-a6a900aac8b2/ekthesi-arthrou-3g-n4706_2020-2025-en.pdf) and was submitted in due time to the Hellenic Capital Market Commission, to the Documentation, Research and Digital Support Department (Gender Equality Observatory) of the General Secretariat for Equality and Human Rights of the Ministry of Social Cohesion and Family, and to the Greek Ombudsman, in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 3C of Law 4706/2020 (as introduced by Article 7 of Law 5178/2025).

Furthermore, the Board of Directors during its meeting of 30.03.2026, following a relevant proposal of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee of the Company, reviewed and found the fulfilment of the conditions of independence of article 9 par. 1 and 2 of Law 4706/2020 of the existing independent non-executive members of the Board of Directors.
5.1.3 Suitability Policy
The current Suitability Policy of members of the Board of Directors of the Company (according to article 3 of Law 4706/2020, hereinafter “Suitability Policy”) was initially approved by the Ordinary General Meeting of its shareholders of 24.05.2021 and was amended by the Ordinary General Meeting of its shareholders of 24.05.2023.

Through its implementation, the acquisition and retention of persons with skills, knowledge, skills, experience, crisis independence, guarantees of morality and good reputation that ensure the exercise of good and effective management for the benefit of the Company, shareholders and all stakeholders. The Suitability Policy, as well as any substantial modification, is proposed to the Board of Directors of the Company by the Remuneration and Promotion Committee of the Company, in collaboration with the Internal Audit Unit and the Legal Service of the Compa- ny, then approved by the Board of Directors and is submitted for approval to the General Meeting of the Company.

The Suitability Policy is available on the Company's website at the following link: https://www.elvalhalcor.com/investor-relations/corporate-governance/ board-of-directors/suitability-policy-bod.
The composition of the existing Board of Directors of the Company (from its election by the Ordinary General Meeting of the Company’s shareholders of 22.05.2025) meets the requirements and the criteria of suitability (individual and collective) and diversity, as provided in Law 4706/2020, as in force on the date hereof, and the Suitability Policy, as determined by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee of the Company at the level of candidate members, before the election of the Board of Directors.
In accordance with article 3C paragraph 3 of Law 4706/2020 and paragraph 4 of the letter Nr. 434/24.02.2025 of the Capital Market Commission to companies with securities listed on the Athens Stock Exchange, entitled “Notes, clarifications and recommendations regarding the actions of listed companies in view of the publication of the Annual Financial Reports

These provisions stipulate that: (a) the required adequate gender representation on the Board of Directors must amount to at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the total number of members of the Board of Directors, provided that, if the Company falls within the scope of article 3A(3) of Law 4706/2020 (as introduced by article 5 of Law 5178/2025), i.e. if it employs two hundred and fifty (250) employees or more and has an annual turnover of at least fifty million euros (€50,000,000) or an annual balance sheet total of at least forty-three million euros (€43,000,000), the above percentage must amount to at least thirty-three percent (33%) of the total number of members of the Board of Directors, rounded, where a fraction arises, to the nearest whole number; and (b) where three (3) or more executive members participate on the Board of Directors, the above thirty-three percent (33%) representation must include at least one (1) executive member of the underrepresented gender.

E) Sustainable development policy followed by the Company
In accordance with the provisions of article 44 par. 1 of L. 4449/2017 (as amended by L. 5164/2024 and in force), the Audit Committee is obliged to include in the annual report of the proceedings to the Ordinary General Meeting also a description of the sustainable development policy followed by the Company.
Large modern companies implement a Sustainable Development Policy, in accordance with the international best practice. This policy empowers companies, gives them a social dimension and perspective for the future and makes them real cells of the national economy.
The Company and consequently the ELVALHALCOR Group, following the policy of the broader VIOHALCO group, implements a Sustainable Development Policy and seeks, over time, to create value for its participants, i.e. shareholders, customers, employees and society in general.
To achieve this goal, the Group places particular emphasis on, among others, the training and development of human re- sources, health and safety at work, as well as respect for the environment, following the principles of sustainable operation and development.
The Sustainable Development Policy of the Company reflects the approach and commitment of the Management to the is- sues of sustainable development and responsible operation. Responsible operation is a continuous commitment to action of substance, in order to generate value for all stakeholders that meet the modern needs of society and contribute in general to its prosperity. The Company has a specific strategy, which focuses on the important issues related to its activity and seeks its continuous responsible development, focusing on the critical pillars of business responsibility: Economy, Society, Environment. Sustainable development policy is an integral part of the Company's business practice model and culture. In the context of the implementation of Sustainable Development policy, the Company develops activities, among others, in the following areas:
a) Staff health and safety
The Company has set as an unnegotiable priority and primary concern the protection of the health and safety of its staff. In the context of the implementation of this policy, the Company has established every best international practice that contributes to the reinforcement and improvement of the safety culture and the achievement of the goal of “zero accidents” and at the same time organizes training programs, both for the knowledge of the risks in the production process and for the cultivation of a common consciousness and safety behaviour among employees.
b) Training and development of human resources
The Company recognizes the decisive contribution of the staff in its successful business path so far. The great experience, the high specialization, the know-how and the creativity of the staff support the course of the Company for a stable, dynamic and continuous development. The Company attaches great importance to the objective evaluation of the staff, to the detection and development of talent, as well as to the continuous training, designing and implementing training programs of high added value. The Company encourages professional development and makes the most of the knowledge and skills of the staff. The Academy of the Company, which has been operating for seven years, aims to effectively develop the skills, knowledge and know-how of employees, through educational programs, which are based on structured methodology, selected subjects and educational material that meet specific needs and cover a wide range of knowledge fields. Within the Academy, in the year 2025, educational programs were implemented giving the opportunity to participants to take part and reap the benefits of learning provided by highly qualified instructors. Some of these programs were implemented on a recurring basis.
c) Responsibility for society
The Company seeks the sustainability of the local community and therefore maintains a bilateral, continuous cooperation with it. The Company draws from the local community that operates a significant part of its needs in human resources and suppliers. Of the total workforce, a significant part concerns workers from local communities, thus contributing to the local and national economy.
Regarding the Company’s social contribution initiatives, notable are the support of vulnerable groups, the strengthening of local health centers and hospitals with the provision of appropriate equipment, the response to emergencies (e.g. natural disasters), the voluntary blood donations in the facilities are noted, donations to charities, support to schools, sports and cultural organizations and other initiatives that promote common values for progress, development and social contribution.
d) Environmental protection
For the Company, the protection of the environment is a key element of its Sustainable Development Policy and is a key pillar of its business strategy, which is adjusted to the ever changing international business environment. Environmental awareness is expressed through targeted, environmental protection investments and systematic and daily practices, which combine

responsible environmental management with the effort to constantly reduce the environmental footprint. In the context of environmental protection, the Company implements the current legislation and in particular:
• Implements targeted environmental management programs (e.g. energy saving programs, actions and initiatives to reduce air emissions, etc.).
• It seeks the rational use of raw materials and natural resources (e.g. rainwater, etc.) and promotes the recycling of alu- minium and copper.
• Implements an integrated waste management system (with emphasis on prevention to avoid their production).
• Monitors technology developments and regularly upgrades environmental protection infrastructure.
• Provides for the continuous training and awareness of employees on environmental issues.
• Ensures that there is an appropriate risk analysis and incident response organization.
The Company has adopted an environmental management policy to protect the environment from its operation.
e) Protection of personal data
We found that the Company respects the protection of personal data not only as an obligation of legal compliance with the General Regulation of Personal Data Protection but also takes appropriate measures in accordance with the provisions of the General Regulation of Personal Data Protection (EU) 679/2016 and the implementing internal law, L. 4624/2019. In order to harmonize with international standards and best practices, the Company has adopted a Personal Data Protection Policy of employees, customers, suppliers and partners by setting specific roles, procedures and mechanisms for the full range of activities. At the same time, ensuring the appropriate technological means, planning its processes with a view to protecting from the outset and planning of business activities and information systems, but also the formation of a similar culture is a primary concern and goal of continuous improvement but also for added value and the competitive advantage it offers to the Company. The protection of personal data is a commitment.
f) Corporate governance
The Company, recognizing the importance of corporate governance principles but also the advantages deriving from their adoption, follows international best practices and international standards that apply in its areas of activity, in order to maximize the benefit for its shareholders and the production of value in general for all participants and for society as a whole.
As a listed company on the Athens Stock Exchange, it implements the current corporate governance legislation. In order to enhance corporate transparency and control mechanisms, effective management and optimal operational efficiency, the Company implements Rules of Operation and has adopted the Hellenic Corporate Governance Code issued by the Hellenic Corporate Governance Council (HCGC) of June 2021. In addition, the Code of Ethics and Business Ethics, the Supplier Code of Conduct for / Partners of the Company and the Business Ethics and Anti-Corruption Policy reflect its commitment and position on the issues of transparency, and the fight against corruption and bribery. The Company’s exposure to the risk of corruption is systematically monitored.

VI. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Reporting entity
These Financial Statements (the "Financial Statements") of the Company for the year ended on 31 December 2025 include the individual Financial Statements of ELVALHALCOR and the consolidated financial statements of ELVALHALCOR (together referred to as “the Group”). The names of the subsidiaries and the companies consolidated using the equity method are presented in Note 31 of the Financial Statements.
The Financial Statements of ELVALHALCOR Group are included in the consolidated Financial Statements of
2. Basis of Accounting
a) Statement of Compliance
The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union.
b) Measurement basis
The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost principle except the following assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value.
• Derivative financial instruments held for hedging purposes (fair value);
• Financial instruments measured at fair value
• Net defined benefit liability (present value of the obligation);
• Assets held for sale (fair value);
• Deferred tax (using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date);
• Inventory (lower of the historical cost and net realisable value);
c) Functional currency and presentation currency
The functional and presentation currency of the Company is the euro. All amounts in the Financial Statements are rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated. As such, due to rounding, figures shown as totals in certain tables may not be arithmetic aggregations of the figures that precede them.
ElvalHalcor
172
d) Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements is in line with I.F.R.S and requires Management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of Group’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from these estimates.
Management’s estimates and judgments are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised pro-spectively.
The following notes give information about judgements, assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year:
• Note 24 – Measurement of defined benefit obligations: key actuarial assumptions.
• Note 16 – Recognition of deferred tax assets, availability of future taxable profits against which carry forward tax losses can be used
• Note 12, 14, 15 & 29 – Impairment test: key assumptions underlying recoverable amounts.
• Note 28 – Measurement of expected credit losses on trade receivables and contract assets: key assumptions in the determination of expected loss rates
• Note 16 & 31: Recognition of income tax payables
• Note 29,19: Fair value measurement of level 3 financial instruments.
• Note 13: Fair value measurement of investment property
• Note 9: Share-based payments (vesting date)
3. New Standards
New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations: Certain new standards, amendments to standards and in-terpretations have been issued that are mandatory for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025. The Group’s evaluation of the effect of these new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations is as follows:
Standards and Interpretations effective for the current financial year
IAS 21 ‘The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates’ (Amendments) - Lack of exchangeability
(effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025)
These amendments require companies to apply a consistent approach in assessing whether a currency can be exchanged into another currency and, when it cannot, in determining the exchange rate to use and the disclosures to provide. The new standard did not have a material impact on the recognition and measurement in the Financial Statements.
Standards and Interpretations effective for subsequent periods
IFRS 18 ‘Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements’
(effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027)
IFRS 18 was issued in April 2024. It sets out requirements on presentation and disclosures in financial statements and replaces IAS 1. Its objective is to make it easier for investors to compare the performance and future prospects of entities by changing the requirements for presenting information in the primary financial statements, particularly the statement of profit or loss. The new standard:
• requires presentation of two new defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss—operating profit and profit before financing and income taxes.
• requires disclosure of management-defined performance measures—subtotals of income and expenses not specified by IFRS that are used in public communications to communicate management’s view of an aspect of a company’s financial performance. To promote transparency, a company will be required to provide a reconciliation between these measures and totals or subtotals specified by IFRS.
• enhances the requirements for aggregation and disaggregation to help a company to provide useful information.
• requires limited changes to the statement of cash flows to improve comparability by specifying a consistent starting point for the indirect method of reporting cash flows from operating activities and eliminating options for the classifi-cation of interest and dividend cash flows.
Annual Report 2025
173
The new standard has retrospective application. The Group will apply the new standard from its mandatory effective date, 1 January 2027. The application is retrospective and, therefore, the comparative information for the year ending 31 December 2026 will be restated in accordance with IFRS 18. In addition, the Group has already begun assessing the presentation requirements under the new standard.
IFRS 19 'Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures’ and Amendments to IFRS 19
(effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027)
IFRS 19, issued in May 2024, introduced reduced disclosure requirements for eligible subsidiaries. Eligible subsidiaries are those which do not have public accountability (as described in a relevant paragraph in IFRS for Small and Medium-sized Entities) and belong to a parent that prepares and publishes consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS. These subsidiaries will continue to apply the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements in other IFRS, but they can replace the disclosure requirements in those standards with reduced disclosure requirements. The standard is available for adoption in consolidated, separate, or individual financial statements of eligible subsidiaries that choose to apply it.
When first released, IFRS 19 covered standards and amendments issued up to February 2021.The amendments to IFRS 19, released in August 2025, extend these simplified disclosure requirements to include standards and amendments issued between February 2021 and May 2024, reflecting changes to the standards that take effect up to 1 January 2027 when IFRS 19 will be applicable.
The new standard and its amendments have retrospective application. They have not yet been endorsed by the EU. At present, the new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the recognition and measurement in the Financial Statements.
Narrow scope amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures’
(effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026)
These amendments issued in May 2024:
(a) clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system;
(b) clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) criterion;
(c) add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (such as some instru-ments with features linked to the achievement ESG targets); and
(d) update the disclosures for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
When an entity first applies the amendments, it is not required to restate comparative information, and is only permitted to do so if possible without the use of hindsight.
Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards Volume 11
(effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026)
The amendments include clarifications, simplifications, corrections and changes aimed at improving the consistency of 5 IFRS Standards namely IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments', IFRS 1 'First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards', IFRS 7 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures', IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements' and IAS 7 'Statement of Cash Flows'. None of these are expected to have a significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, ‘Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent electricity’ (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026)
ElvalHalcor
174
These amendments apply only to contracts that expose an entity to variability in the underlying amount of electricity be-cause the source of its generation depends on uncontrollable natural conditions (such as weather) and specifically only to the nature-dependent electricity component of these contracts (not to electricity certificates).Contracts in scope include both contracts to buy or sell, physically or virtually, nature-dependent electricity and financial instruments that reference such electricity. The amendments:
(a) address how IFRS 9 ‘own-use’ requirements would apply for physical PPAs;
(b) permit hedge accounting if these contracts are used as hedging instruments; and
(c) add to IFRS 7 new disclosure requirements to enable investors to understand the effect of these contracts on a com-pany’s financial performance and cash flows.
Some of the amendments are subject to prospective application and others to retrospective application. At present, the new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the recognition and measurement in the Financial Statements.
Narrow scope amendments to IAS 21, ‘The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Translation to a Hyper-inflationary Presentation Currency’
(effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027)
The amendments are only relevant for entities that have a presentation currency of a hyperinflationary economy, and either its own functional currency or that of its foreign operation(s) is that of a non-hyperinflationary economy.
All amounts (including comparatives) are required to be translated using the closing rate at the date of the most recent statement of financial position. In addition, there is an exception for entities with a functional and presentation currency that is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy to not re-translate comparatives of foreign operation(s) with the functional currency of a non-hyperinflationary economy.
The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. At present, the new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the recognition and measurement in the Financial Statements.
4. Significant accounting policies
The accounting principles described below have been consistently applied to all periods presented in these Consolidated Financial Statements and have also been consistently applied by Elvalhalcor and its subsidiaries and its equity-accounted investees.
4.1 Basis of Consolidation
a. Business combination
The acquisitions of subsidiaries accounted under the purchase method on the date of acquisition, the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Control power is the power of operating and financial policies of an enterprise so as to benefit from the activity. In assessing control, the Group takes account of potential voting rights that presently may be exercisable.
The goodwill arises from the acquisition of subsidiaries and constitutes the exceeding amount between the sum of pur-chase price and the amount of the non-controlling participation to the acquired entity at the date of acquisition and the fair value of the net assets acquired. If the sum of the total price paid, the non-controlling participation recognized and the prior participation in the company is less than the fair value of the net assets then the difference of a bargain purchase is recognized in the profit and loss.
Any expenses related to the acquisition are posted directly on the profit and loss. Any consideration transferred is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date.
b. Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities that the Group, directly or indirectly, controls their financial and operating policies. Subsidiary companies are fully consolidated from the day control over them is acquired and cease to be consolidated from the day this control is no longer exist. y. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.
Annual Report 2025
175
In its financial statements, the Company measures holdings in subsidiaries at their acquisition cost less any impairment of their value.
c. Accounting for transactions with non-controlling interest
Transactions with non-controlling interest that do not result in loss of control are accounted as transactions between owners and their percentages and as a result no goodwill is recognized in these transations. Any difference between the consideration paid and the carrying amount of the equity interests is accounted within equity. Any gains or losses arising from the sale of equity interest to non-controlling interest are accounted directly to equity.
d. Non controlling interests
Non-controlling interests (NCI) are measured at fair value or at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition. This measurement is done on an acquisition by acquisition basis. Changes in Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.
e. Loss of control
Upon the loss of control, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently it is accounted for as an investment in an associate or as an available-for-sale financial asset depending on the level of influence retained.
f. Investments in associates and joint ventures
Associated companies are companies over which the Group exercises significant influence, but not control, which, in general, applies when the holding percentage in the voting rights ranges between 20% and 50%. A joint venture is an arrangement in which ELVALHALCOR has joint control, whereby ELVALHALCOR has rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities.
Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method and recognized initially at their acquisition cost. The Group’s investments in associates include goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses. In the consolidated financial statements, the Group represents the ratio of the results and the total income after any changes in accounting principles to be comparable to those of the Group from the date of obtaining sig-nificant influence until the date we lose it.
When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an investment in associate or joint venture the carrying amount of that interest is reduced to zero and no recognition of further losses are recognized except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the associate.
In the Company’s financial statements, investments in associates and joint ventures are recorded at cost minus any im-pairment that may occur.
g. Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Inter-company transactions, balances and recognized profits from transactions between Group companies are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains on transactions between associates or joint ventures are eliminated against the Group’s stake in the affiliated company. The same applies to non-realised losses, unless there are indications that the value of the assets that was transferred have been impaired.
h. Business combinations under common control
IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” does not apply to mergers of companies under common control and no guidance from IFRS applies for such transactions. According to paragraphs 10 to 12 of IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” the Group selects to apply the method of acquisition as described in IFRS 3 for such transactions, as stated above.
ElvalHalcor
176
4.2 Foreign currency
a. Transactions in foreign currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Group’s companies at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate, when the fair value was determined. Foreign currency gains and losses are recognized and classified in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss based on the nature of the related item of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency differences arising from the translation of qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective and investments in equity securities designated as at FVOCI are recognized as Other Comprehensive Income (OCI).
Gains and losses from foreign exchange differences that arise from the settlement of such transactions are recorded in the profit and loss statement and follow the respective income/ expense of such transaction.
b. Translation of financial statements of Group companies with different functional currency
The financial statements of Group companies that have a functional currency different from the Group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:
• Assets and liabilities of foreign activities including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising during consolidation are converted into Euro based on the official exchange rate for the foreign currency that is in effect on the balance sheet date.
• Income and expenses are converted into Euro on the basis of the average rate of the foreign currency during the year which approaches the exchange rate in effect on the date of transactions.
• Any foreign exchange difference that may arise is recorded in an equity reserve named “Foreign exchange differences due to consolidation” through OCI and transferred to profit and loss when these companies are sold.
• When the Group disposes of only part of its investment in a subsidiary while retaining significant influence, the rele-vant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to non-controlling interest. When the Group disposes of only part of an associate or joint venture while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit and loss.
4.3 Revenue
The Group and the Company recognize revenue from the following major sources:
• Sale of products;
• Rendering of services.
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group and the Company recognize revenue when it transfers control of a product or service to a customer.
a) Sales of goods for Copper and Aluminium products
Income from sales of goods is recognized when the control is transferred to the buyer. Indicatively, income from sales of goods is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, no perfor-mance obligations exist which could affect the acceptance of the goods by the buyer, the collection of the price is reasonably secured, the relevant expenses and eventual returns of goods can be reliably measured, and no continuous involvement in goods management applies. Any returns or turnover-related discounts are deducted from the income from sales of goods. The terms defined on the contracts with customers are according to Incoterms.
b) Rendering of services
Rendering of services is recognized in the period in which the services are rendered, on the basis of the stage in the com-pletion of the actual service to the services as a whole.
Annual Report 2025
177
4.4 Employee benefits
A. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if Group and its companies have a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount, as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
B. Defined contribution plans
Defined-contribution plans are plans for the period after the employee has ceased to work during which Group pays a defined amount to a third legal entity without any other obligation. The accrued cost of defined contribution programs is recorded as an expense in the period that the related service is provided.
C. Defined benefit plans
Defined benefit plans are all pension plans other than defined contribution plans. The liability recognized in the balance sheet for defined benefit plans is calculated as the present value of the employee’s future benefit for services rendered under the defined benefit obligation. The discount rate used for the Group and the Company corresponds to high-quality corporate bonds denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and with comparable maturities.
The calculation of the defined benefit obligation is performed by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.
Past-service cost is recognized immediately in profit or loss. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur.
D. Long-term incentive plan - Equity-settled share-based payments
The Group and the Company recognize and account for transactions related to share-based payments, under which the entity receives goods or services that are settled in the Company’s equity instruments. The fair value of the Company’s equity instruments is determined at the grant date, as approved by the Board of Directors, and is recognized as an expense over the vesting and service period, in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan, with a corresponding increase in equity.
If the grant period precedes the vesting period, the entity presumes that the services will be provided in the future and recognizes the related expense in advance. Revisions to the estimated fair value or to vesting assumptions are accounted for progressively. Any effect arising from such revisions is recognized in profit or loss in the period of remeasurement, en-suring that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate. Corresponding adjustments are made to equity reserves.
Under the long-term incentive plan (LTIP) of ELVALHALCOR, the awards are granted free of charge. Upon settlement, EL-VALHALCOR uses existing treasury shares to satisfy the awards. Once the vesting period ends, the expenses recognized for the services rendered and vested, as well as the value of the treasury shares, are transferred to retained earnings.
In addition to recognizing share-based payments at Group level, the parent company re-charges the relevant cost to the subsidiaries and other affiliated companies whose employees participate in the plan. The re-charging is based on intra-group agreements without a profit margin, and the cost determined at the grant date is allocated over the vesting period. Participating companies recognize the related expense and a corresponding liability to the parent, while the parent recognizes revenue and a receivable from the re-charging. This policy ensures that costs are allocated to the companies where the services are provided, in compliance with IFRS 2 while preserving the economic substance of the transactions.
E. Termination benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The group recognises termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and (b) when the entity recognises costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of IAS 37 and involves the payment of terminations benefits. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to present value.

Grants from the government are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and Group will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred government grants and are credited to the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss (line “Other income”) on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives of the related assets.
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognized in the statement of profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate, except in case that the Group will comply with all the attached conditions following the recognition of expense. In this case these grants are recognized when they collected.
4.6 Emission schemes
The Group participates in a cap-and-trade scheme in various countries. Under the scheme, the Government in each country sets specific annual limits for emitting pollutants and grants the Group the respective number of emission allowances. The Group can settle its annual obligations created by the emissions of pollutants only by surrendering emission allowances. If the Group’s annual emissions are below the limit, then it can sell the remaining allowances to other parties on trading platform. Conversely, if the annual emissions exceed the limit, then the Group purchases additional allowances to settle its obligation.
Carbon allowances are held by the Group with the intent of being used in the production process. When allowances are received as grants, they are recorded at nominal amount (in most cases, nil); when purchased, they are initially recognized at cost. A provision/liability is recognized at market value only to the extent that emissions occur exceeding the carbon allowances held. The Group recognizes a liability to surrender emissions allowances as emits pollutants and records the respective expense in Cost of sales of Profit and Loss Statement
4.7 Finance income and finance costs
Group finance income and finance costs mainly include:
• interest income;
• interest expense;
• dividend income;
• foreign currency gains and losses from loans and deposits.
Interest income or expense is recognized using the effective interest method.
The “effective interest rate” is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the ex-pected life of the financial instrument to:
• the gross carrying amount of the financial asset; or
• the amortised cost of the financial liability.
In calculating interest income and expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset or to the amortised cost of the financial liability.
Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the right to receive payment is established.
4.8 Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in OCI.
A. Current tax
Current tax comprised the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjust-ment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current tax also includes any tax arising from dividends.
Annual Report 2025
179
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only when certain criteria are met, such as when the taxpayer has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and when the taxes relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity.
B. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is determined using the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period in which the asset will be liquidated, or the liability will be settled. The determination of future tax rates is based on laws passed on the date the financial statements are prepared.
Deferred tax is not recognized for:
• emporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;
• Temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
• Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be recognized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognized to the extent that is has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities, as well as current tax assets and liabilities, are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes relate to the same fiscal authority.
The assessment for the impact of the application of International Tax Reform – Pillar Two is included in Note 16 Income tax expenses.
4.9 Inventories
Inventories are valued at acquisition cost or net recognized value, whichever is lower. Acquisition cost is determined by applying the annual average weighted cost method and includes the cost to buy, produce or manufacture and other ex-penses so as to acquire its current condition and location and the ratio of production expenses. The cost may include any transfer from the cash flow hedging reserve. Net recognized value is assessed based on current sale prices of inventories in the course of ordinary activities, less any termination and sales expenses that apply to the case.
The write-down of inventories to net recognized value and any reversals are recognized in “Cost of sales” in the period in which the write-downs occur.

4.10 Property, plant and equipment
A. Recognition and measurement
Non-current assets include Land, Buildings, Machinery, Transportation equipment, Furniture and other equipment. Property, plant and equipment are presented at their acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. The acqui-sition cost includes all expenses that are directly associated with the asset’s acquisition or self-construction. The cost of self-constructed fixed assets includes the cost of direct labour, materials and any other cost that is required for the fixed asset to be ready for use as well as any borrowing costs. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gains/losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group. Repair and maintenance costs are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss when these are incurred.
The book value of a tangible asset is recorded down to its net recognized value when its book value exceeds its recoverable amount.
On the sale of property, plant and equipment, any difference that may arise between the price that is received and the carrying value thereof is recorded through profit or loss in the category “Other income (expenses)”.
B. Depreciation
Plots – lots (Land) and assets under construction are not depreciated. Depreciation of other tangible assets is calculated using the straight-line method during the estimated useful life of fixed assets and their segments if they have a different useful life. The estimated useful life of these categories is as follows:
• Buildings 20-50 years
• Machinery & equipment 1-40 years
• Transportation equipment 4-15 years
• Furniture and fixtures 1-8 years
Residual value and the useful life of tangible assets are subject to re-examination on each balance sheet date, if deemed necessary.
C. Reclassification to investment property
When the use of a property changes from owner-occupied to investment property, the property is reclassified accordingly. The item is reclassified at its net book value at the date of reclassification which becomes its deemed cost for subsequent accounting purposes.
D. Reclassification to assets held for sale
Non-current assets and disposal group of assets are reclassified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than continuing use.
4.11 Intangible assets
A. Recognition and measurement and amortisation
Intangible assets acquired separately are recognized at acquisition cost while any intangible assets acquired through the purchase of entities are recognized at their fair value on acquisition date. After acquisition they are valued at that amount less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The useful life of intangible assets may be finite or indefinite. The cost of intangible assets with a definite useful life is depreciated over the estimated useful life using the straight-line method. Intangible assets are depreciated from the date they become available for use.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful life are not depreciated but are subject periodically (at least annually) to an estimate of any impairment based on the provisions of IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”. Residual values are not recognized. The use-ful life of intangible assets is evaluated on an annual basis. Intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually individually or at cash-generating unit level.
Annual Report 2025
181
Goodwill do not amortized although measured to its carrying amount less any impairment losses.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
4.12 Investment Property
Investment property includes properties held by the Group to earn long term rentals and cannot be own used. Investment property is initially measured at cost less any accumulated despeciation. If the net book value of the investment property exceeds its recoverable amount, the difference is posted as an impairment in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The land-plots included in the investment property are not depreciated. The depreciation of the buildings are calculated on a straight-line method based on their useful life varies from 20 to 50 years.
Any gain or loss on disposal of investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognized in the profit or loss as incurs.
Rental income from investment property is recognized as other revenue on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
4.13 Assets Held for sale
Assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held-for-sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use. Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value minus costs to sell. Impairment losses on initial classification as held-for-sale and subsequent gains and losses on remeasurement are recognized in profit or loss.
Once classified as held-for-sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortised or depreci-ated, and any equity-accounted investee is no longer equity accounted.
4.14 Financial instruments
A. Recognition and initial measurement
Trade receivables are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Group and the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets (other than trade receivables) and financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value. For instruments not classified at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue are included in the initial measurement — added to the fair value for financial assets and deducted from the fair value for financial liabilities. Trade receivables are initially measured at the transaction price.
B. Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial assets
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at:
• amortized cost; FVOCI
• debt investment; FVOCI
• equity investment
• or FVTPL.
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, unless the Group and the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
ElvalHalcor
182
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
• it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
• its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group and the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in OCI. This election is made on an investment-by investment basis.
All financial assets (except derivatives held for hedging purposes) not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. On initial recognition, the Group and the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial assets – Subsequent measurement and gains and losses:
Financial assets at FVTPL | These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss. |
Financial assets at amortised cost | These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss. |
Equity investments at FVOCI | These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss. |
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost. All financial liabilities (except derivatives held for hedging purposes) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.
C. Derecognition
Financial assets
The Group and the Company derecognize a financial asset when:
• the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire; or
• it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction:
- in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred; or
- in which the Group and the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of own-ership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
Financial liabilities
The Group and the Company recognized a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. Also, recognized a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.
On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
D. Derivatives and hedge accounting
The Group and the Company hold derivative financial instruments in order to cover risks arising from changes in prices of metals, fluctuations of foreign exchange rates, changes in interest rates on borrowings and gas. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value; any directly attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognized in profit or loss, unless the instrument qualifies for cash flow hedge accounting.
Annual Report 2025
183
i. Fair value hedge
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recognized in the Con-solidated Statement of Profit or Loss, along with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk.
ii. Cash flow hedge
The effective portion of the change in the fair value of derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedging instruments is recognized in the statement of other comprehensive income (OCI) and is presented cumulatively in the “Hedging Reserve” within Equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recorded in profit or loss.
Amounts that are recorded as a reserve in Equity are reclassified to profit or loss during the periods in which the hedged item affects profit or loss. In cases of hedging forecast future transactions that result in the recognition of a non-monetary asset (e.g. inventory) or liability, the gains or losses that had been recognized in Equity are transferred to the cost of acqui-sition of the resulting non-financial asset. The gain or loss arising from the ineffective portion of the hedge is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedging relationship no longer meets the criteria for hedge ac-counting, the cumulative gains or losses in Equity remain in Equity and are transferred to profit or loss when the hedged item affects profit or loss. In the case of hedging a forecast transaction that is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gains or losses in Equity are transferred to profit or loss.
4.15 Cash & cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and deposits held at call with financial institutions and highly liquid deposits that are readily convertible (even before agreed maturity date) to known amounts of cash and subject to an in-significant risk of change in value.
4.16 Share capital
Shareholder’s equity is composed of ordinary shares. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognized as a deduction from equity. Income tax relating to transaction costs of an equity transaction is accounted in equity.
4.17 Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation which will probably demand an outflow of resources for its settlement. In addition, the amount of this obligation should be reliably measurable. Provi-sions are re-examined on each balance sheet date and, if it is likely that there will no longer be an outflow of resources to settle the obligations, the provisions are reversed. Provisions are used only for the purpose for which they were originally created. No provisions are recognized for future losses. Contingent assets and contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements.
When time value of money is significant, provisions are measured at their present value of the costs expected to be incurred in order to settle the liability, using a pre-tax interest rate as a discount rate, reflecting current market estimates for time value of money and other associated risks. The increase of provision-liability over time is recognized as a financial expense.
4.18 Impairment
A. Non-derivative financial assets
The Group and the Company recognized loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECLs) on:
• financial assets measured at amortised cost; and
• trade receivables
Loss allowances for trade receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of trade receivables.
Group considers a financial asset to be in default when the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations in full, without recourse by Group’s companies to actions such as recognized security (if any is held).
ElvalHalcor
184
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group’s companies are exposed to credit risk.
For loans provided to related parties measured to amortized cost the Group and the Company recognize the ECLs based on the assessment concerning the increase in credit risk and the probability of default of the counterparty and any possible loss allowance may occur concerning the default.
Measurement of ECLs
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
Presentation of allowance for ECL in the statement of financial position
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. Impairment losses related to trade and other receivables, including contract assets, are presented separately in the statement of profit or loss and OCI.
Write-off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. Group’s subsidiaries make an assessment on an individual basis with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Group and the Company expect no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
B. Non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the Group and the Company review the carrying amounts of their non-financial assets (other than inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life is tested annually for impairment.
For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Goodwill arising from 104 a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss under “Other expenses”. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.
For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or recognized, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
4.19 Leases
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group uses the definition of a lease in IFRS 16.
Annual Report 2025
185
The Group and the Company as a lessee
The Group and the Company recognized a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
Subsequently they are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. The right-of-use asset is depreciated using the straight-line method from the com-mencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option. In that case the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment.
The lease liability Is initially measured at the present value of the following lease payments:
• fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable ;
• variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate ;
• amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees ;
• the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and
• payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.
The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payment made. It is remeasured if there is a modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease; when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate; a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
Lease liabilities and right-of-use assets are presented separately in the statement of financial position.
The Group and the Company as a lessor
Leasing contracts in which the Group is a lessor are classified as financial or operating. The lease contracts of the Group related exclusively to operating leases. Income from operating leases is recognized in the statement of profit and loss on a straight line during the lease agreement.
4.20 Earnings per share
The Group presents both basic and diluted earnings per share for its common shares. The basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profits or loss attributable to holders of common shares by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period.
Diluted earnings per share are determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to holders of common shares and the weighted average number of outstanding common shares by the effect of all diluted eventual common shares consisting of convertible notes and shares with options granted to the staff.
4.21 Fair value measurement
“Fair value” is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or, in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Group has access at that date. The fair value of a liability reflects its non-performance risk.
A number of Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.
ElvalHalcor
186
When one is available, the Group measures the fair value of an instrument using the quoted price in an active market for that instrument. A market is regarded as “active” if transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
If there is no quoted price in an active market, then the Group uses valuation techniques that maximise the use of relevant observable inputs and the use of unobservable inputs. The chosen valuation technique incorporates all of the factors that market participants would take into account in pricing a transaction.
If an asset or a liability measured at fair value has a bid price and an ask price, then the Group measures assets and long positions at a bid price and liabilities and short positions at an ask price. The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is normally the transaction price – i.e. the fair value of the consideration given or received. If the Group determines that the fair value on initial recognition differs from the transaction price and the fair value is evidenced neither by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability nor based on a valuation technique for which any unobservable inputs are judged to be insignificant in relation to the measurement, then the financial instrument is ini-tially measured at fair value, adjusted to defer the difference between the fair value on initial recognition and the transaction price. Subsequently, that difference is recognized in profit or loss on an appropriate basis over the life of the instrument but no later than when the valuation is wholly supported by observable market data or the transaction is closed out.
5. Operating segments
The Group’s operating segments are determined based on the internal financial reports that are regularly submitted to Management for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment. The operating segments of the Group are as follows:
• Copper products: this segment produces and sells copper and copper alloys rolled and extruded products.
• Aluminium products: the aluminium segment produces and sell a wide range of aluminium products and their alloys.
Each segment is managed by a separate General Manager, who is responsible for the operating results, the management of the segment’s assets, and the implementation of its strategy. The Segment General Managers report to the Company’s Management, which has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker.
a-EBITDA is determined as the significant key performance indicator of the operational profitability of the Group and the Company. For further details please refer to note 37.

At the date of the merger by absorption of "ELVAL HELLENIC ALUMINUM INDUSTRY S.A." by "HALCOR METAL PROCESS-ING S.A." in 2017, the trade name of the products bearing the name TALOS has been recognized, which has been legally registered with a value of €24.6 million and customer relationships worth €25.1 million which appear in " Trademarks and licenses " and goodwill value of €22.1 million. At Group level, goodwill of €2.3 million relates to the purchase of 100% of Metalvalius EOOD by the subsidiary Sofia Med S.A. in 2019.
The Group and the Company regarding the goodwill of €22.1 million as well as the trade name and client relationships of Euro 47.4 million, an impairment test was performed to test for any indication of impairment of the CGU of the copper and copper alloys extrusion segment of the parent company, using the value in use method based on a five-year business plan, based on the management-approved budget for one year and on cash-flow projections for the following four years, the results of which indicated no need for impairment. The basic assumptions of the test were as follows:
• Risk-free rate: 3,20%
• Market risk premium: 4,74%
• Expected income tax rate: 22%
• Unlevered beta: 0,86
• WACC 7,97%
• Growth rate (g): 1,33%.

Based on the above, no indication of impairment arises.
Intangible assets, as trade name and client relationships amounted to Euro 47.4 million, do not have a legal or similar maturity as to the creation of cash flows. As a result, the useful life is indefinite. Software and other intangible assets have definite useful life. Amortization for trademarks and licenses is included in the " Cost of sales " line item of the "Income Statement".

Pursuant to Law.4799/2021 tax rate reduced to 22% for income of legal entities for the tax year 2021 and onwards.
The provisions of article 49 and paragraph 9 of article 72 of Law 4172/2013, as amended with the L.4607/2019, regarding thin capitalization, were applicable according to which the limit of the additional interest expense is set to 30% of the EBITDA, subject to paragraph 3, where interest expenses are not recognized as deductible tax expenses, to the extent that the excess interest expenses exceed thirty percent (30%) of the taxable earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA). These interest expense that are not deducted can be settled with future tax profits with no time limitations.
Companies of the Group are entitled to claim special tax deductions for qualifying investments for specific investments in fixed assets or in relative expenses. The Group and the Company recorded these rights as tax credits, which means that these credits reduce the income tax payable and the current tax expense. For fiscal year 2025, the amount of deductions related to these special tax allowances amounts to EUR 2.3 million for both the Group and the Company and is presented, among other items, under the line ‘Tax incentives’ in the table above.
For the fiscal year 2025, the Company and its subsidiaries are under the audit of the Certified Public Accountants, according to the provisions of article 78 of Law 5104/2024, as in force. This audit is on-going, and the relative report of tax compliance is expected to be issued after the publication of the financial statements for the year ended on 31st December 2025. The result of the audit is not expected to significantly affect the financial statements.
The Company has received a notice for a partial tax audit for the fiscal year 2020, which is expected to be completed within 2026. The outcome of the audit is not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated and the Company’s Financial Statements.
ELVALHALCOR is within the scope of the OECD Pillar Two model rules that has been enacted or substantively enacted in certain jurisdictions in which Group companies have presence. Under Pillar Two legislation, a top-up tax may arise for any difference between their Global Anti-Base Erosion (“GloBE”) effective tax rate per jurisdiction and the 15% minimum rate.
ELVALHALCOR applies the exemption for the recognition and disclosure of information regarding deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar II income taxes, as provided for in the amendments to IAS 12 issued in May 2023.
For the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group has made an assessment for all countries in which it has a presence regarding the potential tax expense arising from Pillar II rules. This assessment has been based on the Constituent Entities’ IFRS financial statements as at 31/12/2025 in order to validate conclusions on eligibility of Constituents Entities for the CBCR Safe Harbour transitional rules.
Based on this assessment, only profits reported in Bulgaria were not eligible for the CBCR Safe Harbour transitional rules, and for such profits the respective Pillar II top up tax liability recognised in 2025 amounts to EUR 0.6 million for the jurisdiction of Bulgaria.
The unaudited years of the Group can be found in Note 31.

Statutory Reserve
According to article 158 of L.4548/2018, the companies are obligated, from the profit of the year, to create a statutory re-serve for an amount at least equal to 1/20 of the net earnings. The creation of statutory reserve seizes to be compulsory when this reaches 1/3 of the capital. The statutory reserve is used exclusively for the offsetting of losses. The Group and the Company recognized statutory reserves during the 2025 financial year amounting to Euro 3.6 million and Euro 3.1 million, respectively.
Untaxed and special reserves
Untaxed and special reserves concern non-distributed profits that are exempt from taxation pursuant to special provisions of incentive laws (under the condition that companies have sufficient profits to form these reserves). Reserves from income exempt from taxation and reserves taxed pursuant to special laws concern income from interest for which a tax has been withheld at the source. In addition to any prepaid taxes, these reserves are subject to taxation in case they are distributed. No deferred taxes have been accounted for as regards the above untaxed reserves in case they are distributed. During the financial year, a special reserve was formed corresponding to the approved tax exemption amount related to two different investments that were included under Law 4399/2016.
Exchange rate differences on consolidation
Exchange rate differences on consolidation arise from translating the financial statements of subsidiaries which are de-nominated in foreign currency, to the currency of the Parent Company which is in Euro.
Hedging reserves
Hedging reserves contain the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the derivatives that had been considered under the hedge accounting. These reserves are transferred thereafter to the statement of profit and loss, when the hedging item will affect the statement of profit and loss.
Reserve of merger/absorption
The reserve of the absorption includes the difference between the acquisition price and the nominal value of the shares issued.

Supplier finance arrangements
The Group and the Company participate in a supplier finance arrangement, under which their suppliers may, if they so wish, receive early payment of their invoices from a bank. Under the agreement, the bank agrees to settle the amounts payable to the participating suppliers for invoices owed by the Group, and the Group or the Company repays the bank at a later date. The primary purpose of the arrangement is to facilitate the efficient processing of payments and to provide suppliers who opt in with the ability to receive early payment relative to the normal invoice settlement date.
The Group has not derecognised the original trade payables relating to the arrangement because neither a legal release was obtained nor was the original liability substantially modified on entering into the arrangement.
From the Group's perspective, the arrangement does not significantly extend payment terms beyond the normal terms agreed with other suppliers that are not participating; however, the arrangement does provide willing suppliers with the benefit of early payment. Additionally, the Group does not incur any additional interest towards the bank on the amounts due to the suppliers. The Group therefore includes the amounts subject to the arrangement within trade payables because the nature and function of these payables remains the same as those of other trade payables.
All payables under the arrangement are classified as current as at 31 December 2025 and 2024.

Payment due date range (days from the invoice issue date) | 2025 | 2024 |

The carrying amounts related to financing agreements with suppliers are considered to approximate their fair value, due to their short-term nature.
28. Financial instruments - Risk Management
The Group and the Company is exposed through its operations to the following financial risks:
· Credit risk
· Interest rate risk
· Foreign exchange risk
· Other market price risk, and
· Liquidity risk.
In common with all other businesses, the Group and the Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Group's objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them.
Further quantitative information regarding these risks is provided in other sections of the financial statements. There have been no material changes in the Group’s exposure to risks arising from financial instruments, nor in its objectives, policies, and procedures for managing such risks, or in the methods used to measure them compared with previous periods.
The oversight of compliance with risk management policies and procedures has been assigned to the Internal Audit De-partment, which carries out both recurring and ad hoc audits, the findings of which are reported to the Board of Directors.
Credit risk
The Group and the Company’s exposure to credit risk are primarily affected by the features of each customer. The demo-graphic data of the Group’s clientele, including payment default risk that determines the specific market and the country in which customers are active, affect credit risk to a lesser extent since no geographical concentration of credit risk is noticed. No client exceeds 10% of total sales (for the Group or Company), and, consequently, the commercial risk is spread over a large number of clients. More specific, it should be noted that INTERNATIONAL TRADE S.A trades products of the Group ELVALHALCOR to various foreign countries, with the delivery provided directly from the production facilities of the Group to the end use customers, the majority of them does not exceed the 10% of total sales. ELVALHALCOR’s transactions
Annual Report 2025
221
with INTERNATIONAL TRADE are approved by the Board of Directors and are published to the Business Registry (GEMH), pursuant to art. 99-101 of the Law L4548/2018.
The Board of Directors has adopted a credit policy, which assesses each new customer separately for creditworthiness before normal payment terms are proposed. The creditworthiness control implied by the Group and the Company includes the examination of bank sources. Credit limits are set for each customer, which are reviewed in accordance with the current conditions and the terms of sales and collections are revised, if it is required. In principle, the credit limits of customers are set on the basis of the insurance limits received for them from insurance companies and, subsequently, receivables are insured according to such limits.
Taking into consideration the monitoring customers’ credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit character-istics, the maturity characteristics of their receivables and any past difficulties of collectability they have shown. Trade and other receivables include mainly wholesale customers of the Group and the Company. Customers that are characterized as being of “high risk” are included in a special list of customers for further monitoring and future sales should be collected in advance. Depending on the background of the customer and his properties, the Group and the Company demands collateral securities or other security (e.g. letters of guarantee) in order to secure its receivables, if possible.
Bearing in mind that there is no official definition of default, ElvalHalcor considers as default the occurrence of one or both of the following events: i) The Company assumes that the counterparty is unlikely to fully recover its obligation to the Com-pany, unless the Company obtain measures, such as the liquidation of any collateral provided in favour of the insurance company. ii) The counterparty is overdue for payment / recognized of its obligation to the Company for a period of more than 30 days (provided that the terms of the credit have not been changed by agreement of the Company). Any write-off is carried out following the completion of the legal actions.
The Group and the Company record impairment allowances that reflect its assessment of losses and expected credit losses from customers, other receivables, and investments in securities. This allowance mainly consists of impairment losses of specific receivables that are estimated based on given circumstances that they will be materialized though they have not been finalized yet, as well as an allowance for expected credit losses according to the Group’s analysis which was formulated for the implementation of IFRS 9.
The Financial assets subject to credit risk are as follows:

The Group insures the greater part of its receivables in order to be secured in case of failure to collect.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the inability of the Group to discharge its financial obligations when they mature. The approach adopted by the Group to manage liquidity is to ensure, a diversification strategy in respect of funding sources and working capital management, by holding the necessary cash and having adequate credit limits from cooperating banks and trade finance services, that it will always have adequate liquidity in order to cover its obligations when they mature, under normal or more difficult conditions, without there being unacceptable losses or its reputation being jeopardized. It is noted that the Group held cash and cash equiv-alents on 31 December 2025, which amounted to Euro 53.8 million and the Company Euro 37.5 million as well as approved but not utilized lines of credit to cover current and medium-term liabilities. As far as investments are concerned, the Group and the Company take new loans according to their needs (see note 23). Moreover, the Group communicates with the banks to secure proper refinancing of loans that expire.
In order to avoid liquidity risk, the Group and the Company prepare a cash flow forecast for a one-year period when drawing up their annual budget, based on conditions that are expected and can be reasonably anticipated, as well as a rolling three-month monthly forecast, in order to ensure the adequacy of cash and cash equivalents to cover their operational needs, including the settlement of their financial liabilities.
Part of the Group’s and the Company’s trade payables are included in a supplier finance arrangement with selected key suppliers. Further information is provided in Note 27.
The Group and the Company also seek to mitigate liquidity risk by stabilising interest rates (and, consequently, cash flows) on part of their long-term borrowings, as further analysed in the “Interest rate risk” section below.

Exchange rate risk
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk in relation to the sales and purchases carried out and the loans issued in a currency other than the functional currency of Group companies, which is mainly the Euro. The currencies in which these transactions are held are mainly the USD and the GBP.
Over time, the Group and the Company hedge part of their estimated exposure to foreign currencies in relation to the anticipated sales and purchases and the greatest part of receivables and liabilities in foreign currency. The Group enters mainly into currency forward contracts with external counterparties so as to deal with the risk of the exchange rates variation, which mainly expire within less than a year from the balance sheet date. When deemed necessary, these contracts are renewed upon expiry. As the case may be, foreign exchange risk may be hedged by taking out loans in the respective currencies.
Loan interest is denominated in the same currency with that of cash flows, which arises from the Group’s operating activities and is mostly the Euro.
The investments of the Group in other subsidiaries are not hedged because these exchange positions are considered to be long-term.

Interest rate risk
The Group finances its investments and its needs in working capital through bank and bond loans, thus interest charges burden its results. Rising interest rates have a negative impact on results since borrowing costs for the Group rise. The high benchmark interest rates applied to control inflation and bring it down to the desired levels have affected the Group’s borrowing costs in recent years. To the extent feasible and effective, the Group and the Company may obtain fixed-rate loans and/or enter into interest rate hedging transactions through interest rate swap agreements in order to reduce their exposure to interest rate risk.
The Group and the Company have entered into fixed-rate borrowings for a portion of their long-term debt (51% of total borrow-ings) and have executed interest rate risk hedging transactions using floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements (IRS) for another part of their long-term borrowings (17% of total borrowings).
The Group and the Company document the existence of an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument based on the reference interest rates, the timing of the cash flows, the maturity dates, and the notional amounts. The effective portion of the hedge is recognised in other comprehensive income and is reclassified to profit or loss when the hedged cash flows are realised.

Risk from the fluctuation of metal prices (aluminium, copper, zinc, other metals), gas & electric energy-Cash flow Hedging
The Group and the Company base both their purchases and their sales on exchange-traded prices for copper, aluminium, and the other metals used and contained in their products. They are able to price these metals separately to customers, as well as to conduct purchases from suppliers for the quantities of metal required for their operations. In cases where daily purchases and sales cannot be immediately offset (back-to-back), the Group and the Company apply cash-flow hedging transactions. Accordingly, for every sale of a product or any other form of inventory containing metals, at the moment the LME price is agreed with the customer, they take a long position on the LME for the corresponding embedded quantity, using derivatives. For every new order of physical raw-material inventory placed with suppliers, at the moment the LME price is agreed with the suppliers, they take a short position on the LME for the corresponding quantity, also using deriv-atives, if these daily purchases and sales cannot be offset against each other (back-to-back).In this way, fluctuations in international metal prices do not affect operating cash flows, ensuring the smooth, sustainable, and efficient operation of the Group and the Company. However, the Group does not hedge the entirety of its core operating inventory; therefore, a potential decline in metal prices may negatively affect results through the impairment of inventories.
The Group and the Company engage in derivative financial instrument transactions (Commodity Swaps) in order to hedge the risk arising from fluctuations in natural gas prices linked to the Title Transfer Facility (TTF) index, and in electricity prices linked to the Day-Ahead Market (DAM), which are embedded in certain future purchases of these commodities. Specifically, the Company has entered into agreements with counterparties to exchange a fixed price for a floating market price for predetermined quantities of natural gas and electricity that will be consumed in future production of products for which a sales commitment exists at a fixed price. Upon initiation of the hedging transaction, the Group and the Company document the relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument with respect to risk management and the strategy for entering future natural gas and electricity transactions. The Group and the Company document the assessment of hedge effectiveness in terms of offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged items, both at the inception of the hedging relationship and on an ongoing basis. The Group does not hedge all of its future requirements for natural gas and electricity; therefore, any increase in their prices may negatively affect a portion of its cost base. Finally, to mitigate the risk of rising electricity prices, the Group and the Company have entered into a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with a producer, which will be supported by renewable energy sources.

The following table provides information on the items designated as cash flow hedging instruments during the year and as at 31 December 2025 and 2024.
Capital management
The Groups’ policy is to maintain a strong capital base to ensure investors’, creditors’ and market’s trust in the Group and to allow Group activities to expand in the future. The Board of Directors monitors the return on capital, which the Group defines as net results divided by total equity and minority interests.
During the fiscal year 2025, a dividend of €
The Board of Directors tries to maintain equilibrium between higher returns that would be feasible through higher borrowing levels and the advantages and security offered by a strong and robust capital structure. For this reason, the Group monitors the efficiency of the capital employed, which the Group defines as Profit before tax and finance results divided by total capital employed, as well as the Net Debt to a-EBITDA ratio and the dividends paid to holders of common shares.
In addition, within the framework of the obligations of the listed bond loan issued by the Group, it monitors the following ratios:
• a-EBITDA / Net finance expenses
• Total liabilities / Equity
There were no changes in the approach adopted by the Group in how capital was managed during the financial year.
Macro-economic environment
The macroeconomic environment in 2025 was characterized by ongoing uncertainty, stemming from the combination of geopolitical tensions and volatility in energy and raw material prices. The imposition of U.S. tariffs under Section 232 is closely monitored by the Group. Although inflation shows signs of gradual easing in certain markets, it continues to remain at relatively elevated levels, affecting production costs and demand.
Annual Report 2025
231
At the same time, most sectors of the economy exhibit weakened demand, while disruptions in supply chains and high energy costs continue to be significant sources of pressure that could impact on the Group’s operating profitability and working capital needs. The Group closely monitors developments in the international economic environment and takes appropriate measures to mitigate potential impacts on its operations and financial position.
Inflation pressures
Recent data indicate that inflation in Europe, as well as globally, remains volatile while maintaining a downward trend—slow but steady. Inflationary pressures may increase the Group’s operating costs, including expenses related to energy, supplies, and payroll. Despite the overall stabilization of the core price index, the prices of key metals (such as copper and aluminium) remained at elevated levels throughout 2025—reaching historical highs in many cases—thereby limiting the extent of the decline reflected in raw material costs.
At the same time, energy costs continue to be a critical factor for the competitiveness of domestic production: in terms of final (‘all-in’) energy costs for energy-intensive industries, Greece records significantly higher levels compared with countries that apply mechanisms similar to the ‘Italian model’ (Energy Release 2.0). Consequently, although the easing of inflation offers some support, the net impact on production costs remains highly sensitive primarily to energy and metal prices, as well as to geopolitical and trade developments. In this context, the Group and the Company are implementing measures to mitigate these pressures, such as operational cost control, procurement optimization, operational excellence and production-efficiency programs, as well as financial hedging instruments for energy and metals.
Climate Change Risk
The challenges posed by climate change may lead to damage to assets and infrastructure, shortages of raw materials, fluctua-tions in raw-material prices, and disruptions in the supply chain. Recognizing the current challenges related to climate change, energy efficiency, and the circular economy, the Group and the Company are committed to managing and addressing these issues by continuously reducing their carbon emissions and environmental footprint through the implementation of specific policies, procedures, and initiatives. Further details are provided in the sustainability report section:
a) Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism | CBAM
The implementation of CBAM is expected to increase the cost of raw materials due to additional import charges, thereby affecting production costs and competitiveness. At the same time, there is concern about potential circumvention of these charges, to the detriment of EU based producers. The possibility of such a distorted framework could lead to increased imports of competing products, making it imperative for lawmakers to respond and ensure fair and proper enforcement.
b) Emissions Trading System |ETS
At the same time, the gradual reduction of free ETS allowances from 2026 is expected to lead to an indirect increase in thermal energy costs, as natural gas consumption and its associated emissions affect companies’ operating expenses. The volatility of energy prices and the complexity of regulatory initiatives represent significant transition risks, stemming from the integra-tion of renewable energy sources into the energy mix, the cost of energy storage, and the expansion of networks required to accommodate RES. Achieving a balanced transition to sustainable energy is of critical importance for many industries and constitutes a major legislative challenge.
c)Water Availability
Water scarcity, as a result of changes in rainfall patterns due to climate change, may hinder the Company’s production activities. The energy required for water recycling would increase operating costs as well as indirect carbon emissions.

The derivatives of level 1 comprise of futures traded in ‘London Metal Exchange – LME’ for which there is an observable market price for all prompt dates on which the contract is settled. The mark-to-market valuations of the futures are based on evening evaluations of LME, as well as the counterparties valuations in contracts, which are LME brokers. Other investments classified as level 1 include listed equity securities. The derivatives classified as level 2 comprise of forward FX contracts and Commodity Swaps, the fair values of which based on broker/broker prices. Exchange contracts are also categorized as level 2 (IRS), the fair value of which is determined by discounting future cash flow using the interest rate curves at the reference date and the credit risk that incorporated into the agreement. Level 3 financial instruments include equity securities and the rights on participations subscribed to the minority which are not traded in active markets. Equity

securities are valued using the adjusted net asset method, whenever this is deemed necessary. The valuation of rights is based on a widely accepted methodology valuation of options to buy and sell determining the prices it takes into account:
• the expected turnover and EBITDA margins of the business,
• risk free rate
• the duration until the rights expire
• the variability, which is defined as the range of values for all data used in valuation model.
For more details on the rights on participations you can see in note 15.
The fair value of the following financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost approximate their book value:
• Commercial and other requests,
• Cash and cash equivalents,
• Commercial and other obligations
The fair value of long-term variable rate loans approximates their current value. For the rest of the loans at fixed interest rates, their fair value on 31.12.2025 amounts to Euro 311 million (2024: Euro 304 million).

During the fiscal year, there were no reclassifications of financial assets among levels.
The Company and the Group have registered two Call Options following the "Shareholders' Agreement" to the new share-holders of Epirus Metalworks in relation to the purchase of the percentage held by the latter in the share capital of Epirus Metalworks, while the new shareholders have registered two Put Options to ELVALHALCOR for the sale of their percentage in the share capital of Epirus Metalworks. These rights are presented at their fair value and are classified in level 3 and their values are measured at each reporting date. The calculation of the exercise price of the put and call option is based on a predefined mathematical formula based on EBITDA, while at the same time the duration of the exercise of the options is determined based on the agreement from five to ten years. For the calculation of their fair value, the following were taken into account:
• Expected turnover and EBITDA margins of Epirus Metalworks business,
• Risk-free rate
• Duration until the expiration of the options
• Volatility, which is defined as the range of prices for all data used in the valuation model.
At the parent level, taking into account the provisions of IAS 32, the fair value of the rights is presented in the long-term derivative liabilities account, while at a consolidated level, based on the provisions of IFRS 10, the above-mentioned put option that has been registered does not contribute to the transfer of risks and rewards to the parent company during the period that this option is valid as its exercise price is determined on the date of its exercise. For this reason, the Group has recognised the present value of the exercise price of these rights, amounting to €0.9 million, under the line item "Other long-term liabilities" in the statement of financial position, while the measurement of this obligation, amounting to €0.6 million at the reporting date, has been included in the line item " Remeasurement of redemption liability " in the statement of other comprehensive income.

Metal result stems from:
1. The time period that runs between the invoicing of the purchase, holding time and metal processing versus the invoicing of sales.
2. The effect of the opening balance of inventory (which in turn is affected by the metal prices of prior periods) on the amount reported as Cost of Sales, due to the valuation method used which is the weighted average.
3. Specific customer contracts containing fixed forward price commitments which result in exposure to changes in metal prices for the period of time between when our sales price fixes and the sale actually occurs
ELVALHALCOR and its subsidiaries use derivatives to reduce the effect of the fluctuation of metal prices. However, there will always be a positive or negative effect in the result due to the safety stock that is held. The calculation of the metal price lag as derived from the financial statements can be analysed as follows:

The purpose of the loan is the repayment of an existing loan previously issued by the Company and subscribed by the above-mentioned Bank, with a current outstanding balance of €2,000,000, as well as the financing of working capital of a more permanent nature. The loan has a five-year duration and is issued under the provisions of Law 4548/2018.
3. In late February 2026, geopolitical developments in the Persian Gulf region began to affect the international economic environment, exerting pressure on energy costs, inflation, and consequently production costs, while also causing disruptions in the supply chain. Purchases of raw materials (Metals) originating from countries concerned represent 14% of the Group’s total purchases. The Company seeks to mitigate the related risks by implementing a combination of procurement management strategies, such as maintaining increased safety stock levels for key raw materials as well as the identification of alternative sourcing options for key raw materials. This practice may affect working capital and lead to increased financing or borrowing needs. Management closely monitors developments and takes the necessary measures to ensure adequate liquidity and effective cost control. In addition, the Group and the Company maintain limited commercial exposure to the countries involved, as sales to countries concerned represent approximately 1.5% and 1%, respectively, of the total sales of the Group and the Company.
There are no subsequent events to December 31, 2025, that significantly affect these financial statements and should either be disclosed or amend the figures of the financial statements at the year end.
