The contribution of the third quarter led the nine-month period to \u20ac 360.6m. sales, EBITDA at \u20ac 101.5m. and Profits after taxes at \u20ac 13.2m. reduced by 67% from 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The partial restoration of tourist arrivals activated short-term leases, which were significantly lower than those of 2019 in terms of income, in alignment with tourist arrivals, even for the limited period of the active tourist season (i.e. after 15\/7). On the contrary, the long-term leasing segment showed an overall increase, despite the lockdown period that costed new long-term leases, thus mitigating the loss in total turnover from rentals.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, in the 3rd quarter of 2020, used cars sales showed a significant increase, enhancing both the cash flows and the results of the Group as the company had to manage its active fleet, adjusting to reduced tourist arrivals.<\/p>\n<p>The auto-trade segment in the 3rd quarter of the year returned to normal, showing a significant increase of 7.5%, with retail demand recovering significantly and with the Group&#8217;s wholesale and retail sales showing good performance, continuing the dynamics of 2019 in market share and profitability<br \/>\nIt is worth noting that the Group during the 9-month period of 2020, achieved a significant improvement in net cash flows, and as a result, net debt is reduced by \u20ac 54.4m from the beginning of 2020 and liquidity is particularly increased.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8527 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autohellas.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/q3-en.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1189\" height=\"358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autohellas.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/q3-en.jpg 1189w, https:\/\/www.autohellas.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/q3-en-300x90.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autohellas.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/q3-en-768x231.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.autohellas.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/q3-en-1024x308.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1189px) 100vw, 1189px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>From the beginning of the crisis due to Covid-19 and up until today, the Group continues its efforts in limiting operating expenses by utilizing the opportunities provided by the State and taking protective measures for its employees and its customers.<\/p>\n<p>The Vice President of the Board and CEO, Mr. Eftichios Vasilakis, stated: &#8220;Autohellas is once again proving to be resilient in a period of unprecedented crisis for Tourism and the economy. The complementarity of the three pillars of activity of the Group, but also the efficiency of our executives and our organization in fast, necessary adjustments once again support us and enable us to have a profitable result despite the conditions. After the successful management of 2020, the most difficult year in the history of the company, we are optimistic that despite the challenges of the second lockdown we are going through, our ability to produce profits will become significantly stronger starting from the second quarter of 2021&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8529 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autohellas.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/q3-en2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1104\" height=\"727\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autohellas.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/q3-en2.jpg 1104w, https:\/\/www.autohellas.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/q3-en2-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autohellas.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/q3-en2-768x506.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.autohellas.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/q3-en2-1024x674.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1104px) 100vw, 1104px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8531 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autohellas.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/q3-en3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1181\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autohellas.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/q3-en3.jpg 1181w, https:\/\/www.autohellas.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/q3-en3-300x101.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autohellas.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/q3-en3-768x259.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.autohellas.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/q3-en3-1024x346.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1181px) 100vw, 1181px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the 3rd quarter of 2020, which, due to seasonality, is always the most [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":4289,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.2 -
