Full Year 2004 results
Babis Vovos International Construction" with respect to its full year 2004 results, announces:
On the company level, according to Greek GAAP, turnover for the year amounted to EUR 146.25 mil., a 31.4% increase versus 2003. Earnings before tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) fell by 33.6% to EUR 33.28, and earnings before tax were EUR 24.99 mil., a 38.6% decrease.
At a group level, turnover totalled EUR 171.5, up by 17.8% versus the prior year. Earnings before tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) fell by 29.1% to EUR 38.19, and earnings before tax were EUR 28.9 mil., a 33.6% decrease.
The significant increase in turnover was mainly due to the replacement of a sale and leaseback contract with another contract of the same type in relation to the property located on Kifisias 66 that was higher by EUR 25 mil and contributed EUR 80 mil. to the turnover.
The fall in earnings was mainly due to the lower income received from the real estate development due to the halt in construction works that was imposed by the government during the period prior and until the conclusion of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games.

We would like to draw your attention to the fact that the Group's net asset value, as it was prepared for IFRS Proformas, does not include the market value of the properties on Poros and on 49 Kifissias Avenue, which amounts to EUR 37.22 million according to Ernst & Young's valuation as at 31 December 2004. This is due to the fact that there were pre-sale agreements in place until the 31 December 2004, on the basis of which the purchase of the property on 49 Kifissias Avenue was finalised, and the purchase of the Poros property will be finalised during the first quarter of 2005.
