Turnover in the nine months of 2022 for the Athens Exchange Group was €29.3 million compared to €27.0m in the corresponding period last year, increased by 8.5%.

Lastly, 30% of the turnover concerns services and data provided by the Group, which remained at the same level as in the nine months of 2021.

It is noted that in nine months of 2022 the Average Daily Value of Transactions was €78.8m, increased by 6.9% compared to the nine months of 2021 (€73.7m), even though market performance in the 3rd quarter was at significantly lower levels compared to that of the 1st half (€56.3m compared to €91m).

The average capitalization of the Greek capital market increased by 6.2% compared to the average capitalization of the nine months of 2021 (€63.4 billion vs. €59.7bn). The Athens Stock Exchange General Index was down 9.1% at the end of the nine months of 2022 compared to the end of the corresponding period last year.

Total operating expenses in the nine months of 2022 were €16.9m compared to €15.1m in the corresponding period last year, increased by 11.9%.

During the nine months of 2022, a significant increase in energy prices is recorded as a result of the war in Ukraine. This fact has not impacted the profitability of the Group significantly in the nine months of 2022, as energy costs represent a relatively small portion of total operating expenses.
