Maroussi, June 12, 2024 - LAMDA Development S.A. (ATHEX:LAMDA.AT) ("LAMDA" or "the Company"), the largest real estate development company in Greece delivered another solid performance for the first quarter of 2024.
REVIEW OF FIRST QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Commenting on the Q1 2024 financial results, LAMDA Development CEO, Mr. Odisseas Athanasiou stated:
"All business sectors of the Group started 2024 achieving new historical profitability records. This comes on top of an exceptional year in 2023. Cash proceeds from property sales at the Ellinikon continue to grow with over €670m received to date. Revenues in Q1 2024 have grown five-fold as compared to same period last year while construction works are now ongoing on almost all coastal front developments, namely the Riviera Tower, the Cove Residences, the Cove Villas, the Park Rise, the Sports Complex and the Posidonos Underpass. Our operating Malls continue to break records with Retail EBITDA 8% higher than last year on the back of increased tenant sales and footfall surpassing 5 million visitors in Q1 2024. The Marinas also recorded a 13% increase on a year-over-year basis. All of this, while maintaining a strong cash position of almost €0.6 billion. Going forward, we anticipate a further acceleration of construction for the Ellinikon as well as the commencement of works for the Riviera Galleria and The Ellinikon Mall, that at completion will almost double the LAMDA MALLS Group EBITDA."

Our four (4) Malls in operation achieved a new Retail EBITDA record of €22.5m (8% higher y-o-y) mainly attributed to the net base rent growth (8% vs. Q1 2023) as well as the parking income increase (16% vs. Q1 2023). The strength of our performance was underpinned by higher footfall, reaching 5.5m visitors or a 4% increase y-o-y and a new record of tenant sales at €171m in Q1 2024 or 9% higher over Q1 2023.
We also achieved significant commercial progress on our two retail & entertainment destinations currently under development. Specifically, we agreed on Heads of Terms (HoT) with tenants for 70% of the GLA of The Ellinikon Mall (formerly Vouliagmenis Mall) and 62% of the GLA of Riviera Galleria at higher rental levels as compared to our Malls in operation, which reflects both the strong fundamentals of an undersupplied market in Greece, as well as the high level of interest of retailers for the new developments. We target having completed HoT agreements for 83% and 75% of the respective developments by year-end.

Our Marinas also continued to outperform with revenues reaching a new record high of €7,3m while EBITDA increased 13% vs. Q1 2023 to €4.6m. The strong performance is mainly attributed to our strong customer loyalty backed by annual contractual increases in berthing fees. Higher revenues from yacht transits also contributed to the improved performance of the Marinas.
