Independent Auditor’s Report
To the shareholders of JUMBO S.A.
Report on the Audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements of JUMBO S.A. (the Company), which comprise the
separate and consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2023, the separate and consolidated statements of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and cash flows
for the year then ended and notes to the
financial statements that include material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company JUMBO S.A. and its subsidiaries (the Group) as at December 31, 2023, their financial performance and cash flows
for the year then ended, in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), as incorporated into the Greek Legislation. Our
responsibilities, under those standards are further described in the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate and
Consolidated Financial Statements” section of our report. We remained independent of the Company and its subsidiaries, during the
entire period of our appointment, in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants “Code of Ethics for
Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) as incorporated in the Greek Legislation
and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in
accordance with current legislation requirements and the aforementioned Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the separate and
consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters and the related risks of material misstatement were addressed in
the context of our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do
not express a separate opinion on these matters.
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matters
Revenue recognition
Regarding the FY ended as at 31/12/2023 (01/01/2023 – 31/12/2023), the
Company’s and the Group’s sales stood at € 862,5 million and € 1.081,4 million
respectively. Most sales refer to retail sales performed through a network of 85
stores and 3 e-shop stores.
The Company’s and the Group’s revenue arises from various sale points. Sales
recognition has been identified as key audit matter due to the complexity
related to significant volume of transactions performed at various sales points,
use of information systems for price change and revenue recognition purposes,
as well as judgments and estimates of the Management. Recognition of
revenue arising from the total of sales points as well as update of accounting
files is automatically performed through the Company’s subsystems. The
Group uses information systems and internal controls in order to ensure an
integrated revenue recognition framework.
Revenue is recognized when the relative risks and rewards associated with the
goods sold are transferred to customers, while collecting receivables is
reasonably secured..
The disclosures made by the Group in respect of the applied accounting
policies regarding revenue recognition are presented in Notes 3.2, 4.19 and 5.1
to the financial statements.
Our audit approach regarding revenue recognition included,
inter alia, the following procedures:
We have obtained understanding and assessed the
information systems environment supporting various
revenue categories, including the relevant internal control
procedures.
We have tested the correct transfer of data from separate
information systems to the general ledger accounts.
We have obtained understanding and
assessed the
assumptions
regarding
rebates
and
sales
discounts
recognition .
We have performed analyt
ical procedures regarding
revenue comparing revenue expectations based on trends
and seasonality with actual .
We have assessed the adequacy of disclosures in the
accompanying
financial statements in compliance with
IFRS requirements in respect of this matter.
Net realizable value of inventory
As at 31/12/2023, the Company’s and the Group’s inventory amounted to €
183,9 million and € 238,3 million respectively. The income statement has been
charged with an amount of € 2,7 million regarding the Company and an
Our audit approach included, inter alia, the following
procedures:
We understood and recorded the procedures applied by
6
amount of € 2,8 million regarding the Group pertaining to damaged inventory
or /and obsolete and impaired.
The Group measures the inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable
value. Net realizable value is the estimated sale price in the ordinary course of
the company’s operations less any related distribution expenses.
In this context, in every reporting period, the Group Management makes
estimates regarding identification of slow moving/obsolete inventory and
determines net realizable value, based on products seasonality, their
movement during the year, as well as next year projections.
Determination of net realizable value of inventory has been identified as a key
audit matter, since it involves management judgements and estimates which
are reviewed whenever necessary in line with the growing and changing
demands of the retail industry.
The Group's disclosures in respect of accounting policies used are presented in
Notes 3.2, 4.9, 5.4 and 5.13 to the financial statements.
the Management for the purposes of identifying slow
moving/obsolete inventory and determining their net
realizable value.
We performed procedures for identifying slow moving
inventory or inventory with low commerciality.
We evaluated the Management’s estimates in respect of
net realizable value of inventory, taking into account,
inter alia, the sales performed
after the end of the
reporting period.
We assessed the Management’s conclusions regarding the
book value of the Company’s and the Group’s inventory.
We evaluated the Management’s estimates regarding
slow moving inventory, taking into account historical data
and subsequent sales.
We participated in some of the physical inventory counts
and carried out a sample check on stock codes.
We have assessed the adequacy of disclosures in the
accompanying
financial statements in compliance with
IFRS requirements in respect of this matter.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information is included in the Board of Directors’ Report, as referred to
the “Report on other Legal and Regulatory Requirements” section, in the Representations
of the Members of the Board of Directors
but
does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the separate and consolidated
financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the procedures
performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein; we are required to communicate that matter. We have nothing to
report in this respect.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the separate and consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate and consolidated financial statements in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards, as endorsed by the European Union, and for such internal control as management
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate and consolidated financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the separate and consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue
as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless
management either intends to liquidate the Company or the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The
Audit Committee (Art. 44, Law 4449/2017) of the Company is responsible for overseeing the Company’s and the Group’s financial
reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the separate and consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate and the consolidated financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable
assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs, as they have been
transposed in Greek Legislation, will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error
and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of
users taken on the basis of these separate and consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs as they have been transposed in Greek Legislation, we exercise professional judgment and
maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate and consolidated financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
7
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher
than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s and the Group’s internal
control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit
evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the
Company’s and the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are
required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the separate and consolidated financial
statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence
obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and the Group to
cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate and consolidated financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the separate and consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events
in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the
Group to express an opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction,
supervision and performance of the audit of the Company and the Group. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to
bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.

€ 200.000.000. In accordance with article 2 par. 3 of Law

On May 15, 2023, a new non-cancellable lease agreement, regarding the lease of property by the
Bulgarian subsidiary "JUMBO ECB Ltd", provides for the extension of the previous lease ((08.07.2011)
until May 28, 2035, while the lessee has the right to extend the initial
lease term for an additional twelve
(12) years, i.e. until 28 May 2047. According to the new lease agreement, the Bulgarian subsidiary
company "JUMBO ECB Ltd", has the right to purchase the leased store and the real estate on which the
leased store is built on against a total cost of € 13.500.000 plus VAT, in the event that at any time during
the lease, the lessor makes the specific property available for sale. In that case, the Company, as the sole
shareholder of "JUMBO ECB Ltd", will be obliged, within three (3) months from the offer, to decide on
buying the property for the above-mentioned total price. It is noted that according to the previous
contract the Bulgarian subsidiary company "JUMBO ECB Ltd" had an obligation to purchase the property
only in case that specific changes in the Company's Board of Directors. According to the new lease
agreement no other party appears as a guarantor against the obligations of the lessee JUMBO ECB Ltd. It
is noted that according to the previous contract the Cypriot subsidiary JUMBO TRADING LTD assumed
as guarantor and co-debtor against the obligations of the lessee JUMBO ECB Ltd.

of € 1,2 million had been paid. The company’s main activity is real estate ownership (land and building)
in Paphos.
C. RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group is exposed to various financial risks such as market risk (variation in foreign
exchange rates, interest rates, market prices etc.), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s risk
management policy aims at limiting the negative impact on the Group’s financial results, which arises
from the inability to predict financial markets and fluctuations in cost and revenue variables.
The risk management policy is executed by the Management of the Group, which evaluates the
risks related to the Group’s activities and operations, plans the methodology and selects suitable financial
products for risk reduction.
The Group’s financial instruments include mainly bank deposits, trade debtors and creditors,
dividends payable and loans.
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Group operates internationally and, therefore, is exposed to foreign exchange risk, which arises
mainly from the U.S. Dollar and Romanian Lei (RON) due to the operation of the Group through its
subsidiary company in Romania. The Group deals with this risk with the strategy of early stocking that
provides the opportunity to purchase inventories at more favorable prices while been given the
opportunity to review the pricing policy through its main operational activity which is retail sales.
However, significant variation in foreign exchange rates could have a negative effect on its results.

Interest Rate Risk
On December 31
st
, 2023, the Group and the Company are exposed to changes in the interest rate market
in terms of their bank borrowing, cash and cash equivalents which are subject to a variable rate of
interest. A reasonable change in the interest rate of +/- 0,5% would benefit / burden the Company's and
Group's results by € 0,67
mil. and € 2,13 mil, respectively. Deposits up to three months term as well as
deposits over three months term (other current financial assets) have been included in the calculation.
Credit Risk
The main part of the Group’s sales concerns retail sales, effected mostly in cash, while wholesale sales are
made to clients with a reliable credit record. In respect of trade and other receivables, the Group is not
exposed to any significant credit risk. To minimize the credit risk as regards cash and cash equivalents,
the Group only deals with well-established financial institutions of high credit standing.
Liquidity Risk
The Group manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for
long – term financial liabilities as well as cash outflows due in the day - to - day business. The Group
ensures that sufficient available credit facilities exist, so that it is able to cover the short-term business
needs, after calculating the cash flows resulting from its operation as well as its cash and cash equivalents.
Other Risks
Political and economic
The demand for products and services as well as the Company’s sales and final economic results are
affected by external various factors such as political instability, economic uncertainty, recession and the
climate change.
The Red Sea crisis, which began in October 2023, has led to delays in product deliveries and increased
transportation costs, despite annual binding contracts in place for 2024.
The ongoing war in Ukraine, has as a consequence, among other things, the increase in energy costs, the
cost of land transportations, while inflationary pressures dramatically burden the budget of every
household.
Moreover, factors such as taxes, political, economic and social changes that can affect Greece and the
other countries where the Group operates can have a negative effect on the Company’s and the Group’s
progress, its financial position and results.
In order to deal with the above risks, the Company is constantly re-engineering its products, focusing on
cost limitations and creating sufficient stock early enough at favourable prices. Also, as part of the
sustainability policy, Group's invests aiming the reduction of its energy consumption.
Supplier’s bankruptcy risk
The unprecedented energy crisis, rising transport costs as a result of the wars in Ukraine and Israel, and
rising operating and borrowing costs for businesses are creating the risk of bankruptcy for some of the
company's suppliers. In this circumstances the Company faces the risk of losing advances given for the
purchase of products.
As a safeguard from the aforementioned risk, the Company has contractual agreements with a significant
number of suppliers, none of which represents an important percentage on the total amount of the
advance payments.
Sales seasonality
Due to the specific nature of Group’s products, its sales present high level of seasonality. A significant
part of the Group’s annual turnover is realised during the Christmas period (28%), while seasonal sales
fluctuations are noted during months such as April (Easter – 12% of annual turnover) and September
(beginning of school period- 10% of annual turnover). Sales seasonality demands rationality in working
JUMBO GROUP S.A.
Annual Report for the financial year 01.01.202
3-31.12.2023
18
capital management, specifically during peak seasons. It is probable that the Group’s inadequacy to deal
effectively with seasonal needs for working capital during peak seasons may burden it with additional
financial expenses and negatively affect its results and its financial position.
The Group’s inability to effectively cope with the increased demand during these specific periods and
delays in deliveries may adversely affect its annual results. Moreover, problems may arise due to external
factors such as the evolution of the pandemic, bad weather conditions, transportation strikes or defective
and dangerous products.
Dependence on agents-importers
The Company imports its products directly from aboard as exclusive dealer for toy companies, which do
not maintain agencies in Greece. Moreover, the Company acquires its products from more than 200
suppliers which operate within the Greek market.
However, the Company faces the risk of losing revenues and profits in case its cooperation with some of
its suppliers terminates. Nevertheless, it is estimated that the risk of not renewing the cooperation with its
suppliers is insignificant due to the leading position of JUMBO in the Greek market. The potential of such
a perspective would have a small effect in relation to the Company’s size, since none of the suppliers
represents more than 3% of the Company’s total sales.
Intensity of competition between companies in the industry
The Company’s basic competitors in Greece are super markets (except from food departments), toy stores,
infantile-product stores, stationery stores, seasonal-goods stores, as well as respective electronic store
platforms. At the same time, the current status of the market could change in the future either due to the
entrance of foreign companies into the Greek market or due to potential strategic changes and expansion
of retail store networks and product ranges of present competitors. A potential increase in competition
e.g. through price wars or offers could have a negative impact on the revenue and profits of the Group.
Dependence on imports
70% of the Group’s products originate from China. The facts that could lead to cessation of Chinese
imports (such as embargo on Chinese imports or increased import taxes for Chinese imports or political-
economic crises and personnel strikes in China, capital controls or an epidemic) could interrupt the
product supply for the Group’s selling points, resulting in a negative effect on the Group’s operations
and its financial position. Having invested in increasing the number, location and size of warehouses and
facilities, the Group has the opportunity to proceed with inventory storage to deal with delays in the
supply chain.
In addition, it is estimated that the risk of non-renewal of the cooperation with one of its suppliers is
negligible due to the dominant position that Jumbo maintains in the Greek market. The possibility of
such a prospect would have a relatively minor impact on the Company's figures as no supplier represents
more than 3% of total sales.
Climate change risk
The assessment of the climate change risk and its separate impacts is a real issue that the Group takes
seriously. At the same time, given the new obligations under the Directive 2022/2464/EE ("CSRD") in the
next period, the Group has begun to prepare for its response to the relevant requirements, including the
assessment of climate change risk and the establishment of objectives and actions towards mitigation and
adaptation. However, this process is extremely demanding and, considering the changes and
clarifications published this and last period, the Group
is still at a preparatory stage.
Other external factors
The Red Sea crisis, the continuation of the war in Ukraine, natural disasters due to climate change, a new
health crisis or terrorist attack, or the potential consequences of a new financial crisis in the Eurozone or
in individual countries where the Group operates are factors that cannot be foreseen and controlled. Such
events can affect the economic, political and social environment of the country with negative results for
the Group in general.

. Market and product issues
JUMBO has been at the forefront of consumer preference for the last 38 years. The competitive
advantage of the Company is not only that it offers the quality of its products, but also competitive and
affordable prices.
The products are received by JUMBO directly from overseas as it is the sole importer of toy
companies and other non-representative companies in Greece. As already recorded, the Company also

supplies many items from some 200 suppliers operating in Greece, boosting the local economy. It is noted
that no supplier represents more than 3% of total turnover.
Accountable Supply Chain Management
Jumbo, in combination with creativity, trades products that give immense joy to its consumers
and - especially - to children. It requires its suppliers to comply with the strict standards set in the
European Union regarding the materials of manufacture of the products, as satisfaction of all mandatory
legislative and regulatory requirements regarding the products constitutes the priority for the Company.
The Company has added a specific clause to the platform for communication with suppliers
regarding the criteria and conditions it has set and concerning its manufacturers and suppliers. The
suppliers must respect and adhere to, according to its corporate culture, the following matters:
Compliance with Laws
No child labour
Compliance with environmental laws
Health & Safety
These criteria and conditions are based on internationally recognized standards, such as the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, as well as national
and European legislation.
The certifications requested from every supplier depend on the nature of the product and the
requirements of the legislation applicable to the countries of the European Union. For that reason,
JUMBO has to provide all the information required to be included in its products, namely:
Type of information
Yes
Origin of product components
√
Content, in particular for substances likely to cause
environmental or social impact.
√
Safe use of the products or services.
√
Product disposal and environmental/social effects.
√
Τhe Company systematically assesses representative samples of all products to b
e supplied and
thoroughly examines their characteristics, with a view to protecting the health and maintaining the safety
of users/consumers.
Regarding the evaluation and selection process of all types of suppliers (suppliers of products,
materials and equipment), many departments of the Company participate in this activity, depending on
the project, e.g. buyers, import department, catering, accounting, internal control, warehouses, as well as
stores. The process begins by identifying a need that should be met, either of the Company itself if it
concerns equipment or the consumers if it relates to product. A product comprehension survey is
conducted to set the specifications and parameters of the agreement. A thorough market research follows
in order to find the most suitable supplier that can meet the specifications as they have been set, as well
as the way and the time of delivery. Prior to the final selection of the supplier, the relevant samples are
checked by the relative department. Depending on the type of supply, a manager is appointed who is in
charge of supervising and is responsible for the process.
The Company evaluates its suppliers at regular intervals in the long run, while in specialized
cases during on-site visits to their facilities, it observes the working conditions, in order to meet the
conditions of cooperation set at the beginning of cooperation with the suppliers.

Environmental issues
The areas where the Company operates are not subject to a biodiversity protection scheme, such
as NATURA 2020 sites or protected areas with wetlands, while no abstraction from surface water (e.g.
rivers, lakes) occurs.
The Company has recognized the importance of protecting the environment and promotes
"environmentally friendly practices" as provided in its Internal Rules of Operation.
The Company’s objective is to ensure that its stores, offices and warehouses are manufactured
and operated with the aim of reducing energy footprint, maximizing energy consumption and
minimizing environmental impacts, taking into account comfort, functionality and safety. In this content,
the computer systems have been replaced with new technology of low energy consumption, the older air
conditioners have been replaced with modern ones, light bulbs have been replaced by LED bulbs,
measures have been taken so that there is natural lighting in the warehouses and more lights only come
on when there is a human presence. Moreover, the buildings are properly insulated, while all the cartons
for receiving the goods are recycled.
Jumbo Group continues to invest in Green Economy, taking advantage of its strong financial
position.
In 2021, in particular, the Group started implementing the three-year plan for
installation of
photovoltaic systems
in building in Greece and Cyprus.
Until 31.12.2023, sixteen projects have been completed, fived of which in Cyprus and eleven in
Greece, with a total capacity of 4,835 MWp. By using them JUMBP managed to achieve savings in the
Carbon (CO2) emissions of approximately 2.982 tons per year.
The above facilities have been completed in stages until 31.12.2023. In order to be able to make a
proper comparison of consumption and production from the above facilities, this comparison needs to be
carried out in one calendar year of operation, so that all relevant parameters, i.e. temperatures, sunshine,
bad weather, etc., can be taken into account and the Company and the Group can quantify the economic
benefit resulting from these investments on a store-by-store basis. Based on estimates, the savings per
store are expected to fluctuate between 40%-50%.
In addition to the effort to reduce energy and water consumption, the Company's goal is to
raise awareness and expand the knowledge base of employees, contractors and suppliers, as well as
encourage them to take action to save energy and natural resources.

Disclosures related to article 8 of the EU Taxonomy Regulation
The European Green Deal sets the basis for changes in climate, energy, transport and fiscal policies in
order to reduce green house gas emissions. In order to meet the emission targets, through the “Taxonomy
Regulation”, EU established the framework for the creation of the EU Taxonomy of environmentally
sustainable economic activities.
The EU Taxonomy requires financial and non-financial market participants, subject to the Regulation, to
disclose how and to what extent their activities are associated with the environmentally sustainable
economic activities.

After a careful evaluation and based on the current interpretation of the Regulation, we conclude that the
activities of the retail trade, and by extension the Company, are not included in the economic activities
defined by the delegated regulation 2021/2139 (Climate Delegated Act). Therefore, the Company declares
that there are no eligible activities based on the European Union Taxonomy in 2023. However,
considering that the Taxonomy Regulation is a dynamic framework to which additional activities are
expected to be added in the future, the Company is constantly monitoring developments and will adjust
its approach to its disclosures accordingly.

Framework for the Preparation of Financial Statements
The accompanying financial statements of the Group and the Company (henceforth Financial Statements)
dated as at
December 31, 2023, covering the fiscal year from January 1st 2023 to December 31st 2023 have
been prepared according to the historical cost convention, under the going concern principle and
comply
with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB), as well as their interpretations issued by the Standards Interpretation
Committee (I.F.R.I.C.) of IASB, as adopted by the European Union.
Preparation of financial statements according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
demands the use of accounting estimates and management judgements for the application of accounting
policies of the Group. Significant assumptions regarding the application of the accounting policies of the
Company are disclosed, where it is deemed appropriate. The estimates and judgements made by the
Management are constantly evaluated and are based on empirical facts and other factors, including
provisions made for future events, which are considered predictable under normal circumstances.
The accounting principles adopted for the preparation of these financial statements are the same as those
applied for the preparation of the financial statements of the financial year 01.01.2022-31.12.2022 with the
exception of the new or revised accounting standards and interpretations mentioned in note 3.1. to the
Financial Statements and applicable to the Group.
3.1 Changes in Material Accounting Policies
3.1.1.
New Standards, Interpretations, Revisions and Amendments to existing Standards
that are effective and have been adopted by the European Union.
The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments of IFRSs have been issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), are adopted by the European Union, and their
application is mandatory from or after 01.01.2023.
IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2023)
In May 2017, the IASB issued a new Standard, IFRS 17, which replaces an interim Standard, IFRS 4. The
aim of the project was to provide a single principle-based standard to account for all types of insurance
contracts, including reinsurance contracts that an insurer holds. A single principle-based standard would
enhance comparability of financial reporting among entities, jurisdictions and capital markets. IFRS 17
sets out the requirements that an entity should apply in reporting information about insurance contracts
it issues and reinsurance contracts it holds. Furthermore, in June 2020, the IASB issued amendments,
which do not affect the fundamental principles introduced when IFRS 17 has first been issued. The
amendments are designed to reduce costs by simplifying some requirements in the Standard, make
financial performance easier to explain, as well as ease transition by deferring the effective date of the
 
JUMBO GROUP S.A.
Annual Report for the financial year 01.01.202
3-31.12.2023
74
Standard to 2023 and by providing additional relief to reduce the effort required when applying the
Standard for the first time.
The amendments do not affect the consolidated Financial Statements of the
Group. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2023.
Amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” (effective for annual periods starting on
or after 01/01/2023)
In February 2021, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments that pertain to accounting policy
disclosures. The objective of these amendments is to improve accounting policy disclosures so that they
provide more useful information to investors and other primary users of the financial statements. More
specifically, companies are required to disclose their material accounting policy information rather than
their significant accounting policies.
The Group has evaluated and amended the disclosure of accounting
policies in accordance with the guidance provided in IAS 1. The above have been adopted by the
European Union with effective date of 01/01/2023.
Amendments to IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition
of Accounting Estimates”
(effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2023)
In February 2021, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments that they clarify how companies should
distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. That distinction is
important because changes in accounting estimates are applied prospectively only to future transactions
and other future events, but changes in accounting policies are generally also applied retrospectively to
past transactions and other past events. The amendments do not affect the consolidated Financial
Statements of the Group. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of
01/01/2023.
Amendments to IAS 12 “Income Taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a
Single Transaction” (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2023)
In May 2021, the IASB issued targeted amendments to IAS 12 to specify how companies should account
for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations – transactions for which
companies recognise both an asset and a liability. In specified circumstances, companies are exempt from
recognising deferred tax when they recognise assets or liabilities for the first time. The amendments
clarify that the exemption does not apply and that companies are required to recognise deferred tax on
such transactions. The amendments do not affect the consolidated Financial Statements of the Group and
are not expected to have a significant effect on future transitions of such kind should they arise. The
above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2023.
Amendments to IFRS 17 “Insurance contracts: Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 –
Comparative Information” (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2023)
In December 2021, the IASB issued a narrow-scope amendment to the transition requirements in IFRS 17
to address an important issue related to temporary accounting mismatches between insurance contract
liabilities and financial assets in the comparative information presented when applying IFRS
17 “Insurance Contracts” and IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” for the first time.
The amendment aims to
improve the usefulness of comparative information for the users of the financial statements. The
amendments do not affect the consolidated Financial Statements of the Group. The above have been
adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2023.
Amendments to IAS 12 “Income taxes”: International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules (effective
immediately and for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2023)
In May 2023, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to IAS
12 “Income Taxes”: International Tax Reform—Pillar Two Model Rules. The amendments introduced a) a
temporary exception to the requirements to recognise and disclose information about deferred tax assets
and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes and b) targeted disclosure requirements for affected
entities. Companies may apply the temperorary exception immediately, but disclosure requirements are
required for annual periods commencing on or after 1 January 2023.
The Pillar II rules related legislation
 
JUMBO GROUP S.A.
Annual Report for the financial year 01.01.202
3-31.12.2023
75
has been enacted or substantially enacted in certain jurisdictions where the Group operates. The
legislation will become effective for the Group's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024. As the Pillar II
legislation was not in effect at the reporting date, the Group applies the exemption to the recognition and
disclosure of information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar II income taxes as
provided in the amendments to IAS 12 issued in May 2023 and is in the process of assessing the impact
for the Group for subsequent reporting periods.
3.1.2.
New Standards, Interpretations, Revisions and Amendments to existing Standards
that have not been applied yet or have not been adopted by the European Union
The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments of IFRSs have been issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but their application is not effective yet or they have
not been adopted by the European Union.
Amendments to IFRS 16 “Leases: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback” (effective for annual
periods starting on or after 01/01/2024)
In September 2022, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments to IFRS 16 “Leases” which add to
requirements explaining how a company accounts for a sale and leaseback after the date of the
transaction. A sale and leaseback is a transaction for which a company sells an asset and leases that same
asset back for a period of time from the new owner. IFRS 16 includes requirements on how to account for
a sale and leaseback at the date the transaction takes place. However, IFRS 16 had not specified how to
measure the transaction when reporting after that date. The issued amendments add to the sale and
leaseback requirements in IFRS 16, thereby supporting the consistent application of the Accounting
Standard. These amendments will not change the accounting for leases other than those arising in a sale
and leaseback transaction. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements
regarding a sale and leaseback transaction. The above have been adopted by the European Union with
effective date of 01/01/2024.
Amendments to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current” (effective for annual
periods starting on or after 01/01/2024)
In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 that affect requirements for the presentation of
liabilities. Specifically, they clarify one of the criteria for classifying a liability as non-current, the
requirement for an entity to have the right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after
the reporting period. The amendments include: (a) specifying that an entity’s right to defer settlement
must exist at the end of the reporting period; (b) clarifying that classification is unaffected by
management’s intentions or expectations about whether the entity will exercise its right to defer
settlement; (c) clarifying how lending conditions affect classification; and (d) clarifying requirements for
classifying liabilities an entity will or may settle by issuing its own equity instruments. Furthermore, in
July 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to defer by one year the effective date of the initially issued
amendment to IAS 1, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, in October 2022, the IASB issued
an additional amendment that aim to improve the information companies provide about long-term debt
with covenants. IAS 1 requires a company to classify debt as non-current only if the company can avoid
settling the debt in the 12 months after the reporting date. However, a company’s ability to do so is often
subject to complying with covenants. The amendments to IAS 1 specify that covenants to be complied
with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the
reporting date. Instead, the amendments require a company to disclose information about these
covenants in the notes to the financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Group will examine the
impact of the above on its Financial Statements. The above have been adopted by the European Union
with effective date of 01/01/2024.

In
May
2023,
the
International
Accounting
Standards
Board
(IASB)
issued Supplier
Finance
Arrangements, which amended IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments:
Disclosures. The IASB issued Supplier Finance Arrangements to require an entity to provide additional
disclosures about its supplier finance arrangements. The amendments require additional disclosures that
complement the existing disclosures in these two standards. They require entities to provide users of
financial statements with information that enable them a) to assess how supplier finance arrangements
affect an entity’s liabilities and cash flows and to understand the effect of supplier finance arrangements
on an entity’s exposure to liquidity risk and how the entity might be affected if the arrangements were no
longer available to it. The amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 are effective for accounting periods on or after
1 January 2024. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is
not expected to have any
.
The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
Amendments to IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability
(effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2025)
In August 2023, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to IAS 21 The
Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates that require entities to provide more useful information in
their financial statements when a currency cannot be exchanged into another currency.
The amendments
introduce a definition of currency exchangeability and the process by which an entity should assess this
exchangeability. In addition, the amendments provide guidance on how an entity should estimate a spot
exchange rate in cases where a currency is not exchangeable and require additional disclosures in cases
where an entity has estimated a spot exchange rate due to a lack of exchangeability.
The amendments to
IAS 21 are effective for accounting periods on or after 1 January 2025. The Group will examine the impact
of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been
adopted by the European Union.
3.2. Significant
,
Accounting
Judgments
Estimates
and
Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make
judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Estimates and judgments are based on past experience as well as on other factors including
expectations for future events, which are considered reasonable under the specific circumstances.
(i) Judgments
The main judgments made by the Management of the Group (apart from those involving estimates which
are presented further below) that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the
financial statements mainly relate to:
Contingencies
The Group is involved in litigation and claims in the normal course of its operations. The Management is
of the opinion that any resulting settlements would not materially affect the financial position of the
Group and of the Company as at December 31, 2023. However, the determination of contingent liabilities
relating to the litigation and claims is a complex process that involves judgments as to the outcomes and
interpretation of laws and regulations.
(ii) Estimates and assumptions
Certain amounts included in or affecting the financial statements and related disclosure must be
estimated, requiring management to make assumptions with respect to values or conditions which
cannot be known with certainty at the time the financial statements are prepared. A ‘‘critical accounting
estimate’’ is the one which is both significant to the portrayal of the company’s financial position and
results and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of
the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Group evaluates
such estimates on an ongoing basis, based upon historical results and experience, consultation with
experts, trends and other methods considered reasonable in the particular circumstances, as well as
Group’s projections as to how they might change in the future.

Estimation of Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The calculation of the fair value of financial assets and liabilities for which there are no public market
prices, requires the use of specific valuation techniques. The measurement of their fair value requires
different types of estimates. The most important estimates include the assessment of different risks to
which the instrument is exposed to such as business risk, liquidity risk etc., and the assessment of the
future profitability prospects in the case of equity securities valuation.
Measurement of expected credit losses
Impairment of financial assets is based on assumptions regarding the risk of default and percentages of
expected credit losses. In particular, the Group's management applies judgments in selecting such
assumptions, as well as in selecting the inflows for the calculation of impairment, based on historical
data, the current market conditions and the projections for future financial amounts at the end of the
reporting period.
Regarding contractual assets, trade receivables and leases, the simplified approach of IFRS 9 is applied,
calculating the expected credit losses over the life of those items using a table of projections. This table is
based on historical data but is adjusted in such a way that it should reflect the projections for the future
economic environment. The correlation between the historical data, future financial conditions and the
expected credit losses requires making significant estimates. The amount of expected credit losses
depends to a large extent on changes in the circumstances and the projections of the future financial
conditions. Moreover, historical data and projections for the future may not lead to conclusions indicative
of the actual amount of customer liabilities default in the future.
Inventory
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. In order to estimate the net
realisable value, Management takes into consideration the most reliable data available at the time of
making the estimate.
Income tax
The Group is subject to income tax in in Greece and other countries where it operates. Significant
estimates are required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and
calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business.
The Group recognises liabilities for expected tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional
taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were
initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period
in which such amounts are finalized.
Provisions
Doubtful accounts are reported at the amounts likely to be recoverable. The estimation of the amounts to
be recovered is a result of analysis as well as the Group’s experience regarding the probability of default.
As soon as it is noted that a particular account is subject to a risk over and above the normal credit risk
(e.g., low credit worthiness of the customer, dispute as to the existence or the amount of the claim, etc.),
the account is analyzed and recorded as a bad debt if circumstances indicate the receivable is non-
recoverable.
Useful life of depreciated assets
The Group’s Management examines the useful life of depreciated assets during each reporting period. At
31
st
December, 2023, it is estimated that the useful life represents the expected usefulness of the
underlying assets.
Impairment of property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. To calculate the value in use, the Management
estimates the future cash flows from the asset or cash-generating unit and selects the appropriate
discount rate to calculate the present value of future cash flows.

Material accounting principles
Significant accounting policies which have been used in the preparation of these consolidated financial
statements are summarized below.
It is worth noting, as analytically reported above in paragraph 3.2, that accounting estimates and
assumptions
are used for the preparation of the financial statements.
Despite the fact that these estimates are based on the Management’s best knowledge of the current issues
and actions, the final results are likely to differ from what has been estimated.
4.1
Segment Reporting
The Group recognizes four geographical segments: Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria and Romania as operating
segments. The above segments are used by Group management for internal reporting purposes.
Management’s strategic decisions are based on the operating results of every segment, which are used for
the measurement of their productivity.
4.2
Basis for Consolidation
Subsidiary companies:
Subsidiary companies are all the companies controlled, directly or indirectly, by
another company (parent) either through holding the majority of shares of the company in which the
investment was made or through its ability to appoint the majority of the Board of Directors members.
Namely, subsidiary companies are the ones controlled by the parent company. JUMBO S.A. obtains and
exercises control through voting rights. Existence of any potential voting rights which are enforceable at
the preparation of the financial statements is taken into consideration to determine whether the parent
company exercises control over the subsidiaries.
Subsidiary companies are fully consolidated from the date control over them is obtained and cease to be
consolidated as from the date such control no longer exists.
The acquisition of a subsidiary company by the Group is accounted through the acquisition method.
The
acquisition cost of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, of shares issued and liabilities
undertaken as at the acquisition date, plus any costs directly associated with the transaction.
Identifiable
assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired in a business combination are measured at the
acquisition at their fair values, regardless of the participation rate.
The acquisition cost other than the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
If total
acquisition cost is lower than the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired, the difference is
recognized directly to the income statement.
Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. An impairment
test is performed whenever there is clear evidence of impairment in accordance with the provisions of
IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets".
4.3

4.4
Functional currency, presentation currency and
foreign currency translation
The items in the financial statements of the Group’s companies are measured based on the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the Group operates (functional currency). Consolidated
financial statements are presented in euro, which is the functional currency and the presentation currency
of the parent Company.
Transactions in foreign currency are translated to the functional currency at the rates applicable as at the
date of transactions. Gains and losses from foreign exchange differences which arise from settling these
transactions during the period and from the conversion of monetary items denominated in foreign
currency at applicable rates as at the statement of financial position date, are recognised in profit or loss
account.
Foreign exchange differences from non - monetary items measured at fair value are considered
a part of fair value and are consequently recognised in a manner consistent with the recognition of
differences in fair value.
The Group’s operations in foreign currency (which are an integral part of the parent company’s
operations) are translated into
the functional
currency at the rates applicable as at the transactions’ date,
while assets and liabilities pertaining to foreign operations, arising during the consolidation, are
translated
to euro at exchange rates applicable as at the statement of financial position date.
Separate financial statements of the companies included in the consolidation, which are initially
presented in a currency other than the presentation currency of the Group, have been translated into
euro.
Assets and liabilities have been translated in euro at the closing rate as at the statement of financial
position date.
Income and expenses have been converted to the presentation currency of the Group at the
average exchange rate applicable in the relevant financial year.
Any differences arising from that
procedure have been debited / (credited) to a reserve of exchange differences in equity (foreign currency
translation reserve).
Any differences in the sums are due to rounding.
4.5
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property plant and equipment are disclosed in financial statements at their acquisition cost less
accumulated depreciation and any impairment. Cost includes all expenses directly associated with the
acquisition of assets.
Subsequent expenses are recognised as increase to the book value of tangible assets or as a separate fixed
asset only to the extent that those expenses increase future economic benefits expected to flow from the
use of the fixed asset and their cost can be reliably measured. Repairs and maintenance costs are
recognised in the income statement when incurred.
Depreciation of other items in tangible assets (other than land, which is not depreciated) is calculated
based on the straight line method over their useful life, which has been estimated as follows:
Buildings
30 – 35 years
Mechanical equipment
5 - 20 years
Vehicles
5 – 10
years
Other equipment
4 - 10 years
Computers and software
3 – 5 years
The depreciation of fixed assets owned by third partied and of the right of use assets is calculated based
on the duration of the related lease contracts.

Annual Report for the financial year 01.01.202
3-31.12.2023
82
Residual values and useful lives of tangible assets are reviewed at every statement of financial position
date.
When book values of tangible assets exceed their recoverable amount, the difference (impairment)
is directly recorded as an expense in the income statement, profit or loss.
At the sale of tangible assets, differences between the consideration received and their book value are
recognised in the income statement.
Software
: Software licenses are evaluated at acquisition cost less amortization and any impairment
losses.
4.6
Investment Property
Investment Property items concern
the investments that are related to those property items
(including
land, buildings or parts of buildings or both) that are owned (via acquisition
or via finance lease) by the
Group, in order to acquire rents from their hiring, or for the increase of their value (aid of capital), or
both, and they are not owned for: (a) being utilized in the production or in the supply of materials /
services or for administrative aims, and (b) sale at the usual course of the company’s operations.
Investment Property items are initially measured at acquisition cost, including transaction expenses.
The
Group has selected after the initial recognition, the cost model and measures the investment property
according to the requirements of IAS 16 for this method.
Transfers to Investment Property category take place only when there is a change of their use that is
proved by the completion of the self-use from the Group, the construction or the exploitation of an
operating
lease to a third party.
Transfers of items from Investment Property category take place only when there is a change of their use
that is proved by the commencement of the self-use by the Group or by the commencement of the
exploitation aiming at disposal.
An Investment Property item is written off (eliminated from the statement of financial position) during
the disposal or when the investment is being withdrawn permanently from the use and future financing
profits are not expected from its disposal.
Profits or losses that arise from the withdrawal or disposal of the Investment Property item concern the
difference between the net-income of the disposal and the book value of the asset and are
recognised in
the income statement for the period of withdrawal or disposal.
4.7
Impairment of Assets
Depreciated assets are tested for impairment if there is any indication that their book value will not be
recovered.
The recoverable amount is the higher amount between the fair value of the asset (net selling
price less costs to sell) and value in use. The loss incurred due to the impairment of assets is recognised
by the company if the book value of those items (or of the Cash Generating Units) is higher than its
recoverable amount.
The Group considers each store as a separate Cash Generating Unit.
The net selling price is defined as the amount from the sale of the asset in the context of a bi-lateral arm’s
length transaction after the deduction of any additional direct cost for sale of the asset, while value in use
is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to flow in the business from the use of the
asset and from its sale at the end of its estimated useful life.
Any impairment losses are recognised as an expense in the income statement in the financial year in
which they arise.
4.8
Financial Instruments
Initial Recognition and Derecognition
 
JUMBO GROUP S.A.
Annual Report for the financial year 01.01.202
3-31.12.2023
83
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised in the Statement of Financial Position, when and only
when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset
expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards associated with its
ownership are transferred.
A financial liability (or part of it) is derecognised from the Statement of Financial Position, when and only
when the contractual liability is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.
Classification and measurement of financial assets
Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are
measured at the transaction price in accordance with IFRS 15, all financial assets are initially measured at
fair value adjusted for transaction costs except for financial assets measured at fair value through profit
and loss.
Financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the
following categories:
a. Amortised cost
b. Fair value through profit and loss, and
c. Fair value through other comprehensive income
The classification is determined by the Group’s business model for managing financial assets and the
contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets.
All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in the Income Statement are
presented in the line items “Other financial results”, “Financial income” and “Financial Expenses”, except
for impairment of trade receivables, presented as part of the operating results.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets
A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss, amortised cost or fair
value through other comprehensive income. The classification is based on two criteria:
i.
the entity ‘s
business model for managing the financial asset, meaning, whether the objective is
to hold for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows or collecting contractual cash flows as well as
the sale of financial assets, and,
ii.
whether the contractual cash flows of the financial asset consist exclusively of capital repayments
and interest on the outstanding balance (“SPPI” criterion).
The measurement category at amortised cost includes non-derivative financial assets like loans and
receivables with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial
recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is
omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
For financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, changes of fair value are
recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and reclassified in Income Statement upon
derecognition of the financial instruments, except for equity instruments, for which accumulated gains or
losses are
not reclassified from other comprehensive income to the income statement upon
derecongnition.
The financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, are measured at their fair value and
fair value
changes are recognised as gains or losses in the Income Statement. The fair value of these instruments is
determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active
market exists.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group and the Company recognize impairment
provisions for expected credit losses of all financial
assets except for those
measured at fair value through profit and loss.
 
JUMBO GROUP S.A.
Annual Report for the financial year 01.01.202
3-31.12.2023
84
The purpose of IFRS 9 ‘s impairment requirements is to recognize expected credit losses over the financial
asset ‘s lifetime, whose credit risk has increased after initial recognition, regardless if the assessment is at
an aggregated or standalone level, using all information which can be collected, based on both historical
and current data as well, but also data in respect of reasonable future estimates.
In applying the above mentioned approach, a distinction is made between:
financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial
recognition or that have low credit risk (‘Stage 1’)
financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition
and whose credit risk is not low (‘Stage 2’), and
financial instruments for which there is objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date.
(Stage 3).
For financial instruments of Stage 1, 12-month expected credit losses are recognised, while for financial
assets of Stage 2 or Stage 3
- expected credit losses are recognised over their lifetime.
Credit losses are defined as the difference between all the contractual cash flows that are due to and the
cash flows that are actually expected to be received by the Group or the Company. This difference is
discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial asset.
The Group and the Company apply the simplified approach of this Standard for contract assets, trade
receivables and receivables from leases by calculating the expected credit losses over the lifetime of the
abovementioned instruments. In this case, the expected credit losses reflect the expected shortfalls in
contractual cash flows, considering the potential for default at any point during the life of the financial
instrument. In calculating the expected credit losses, the Group uses a provision matrix in which the
above mentioned financial instruments have been grouped based on balances’ nature and ageing, by
taking into account available historical data in respect of the debtors, adjusted with future factors related
to debtors and financial environment.
4.9
Inventory
As at the statement of financial position date, inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net
realizable value.
Net realizable value is the estimated sale price in the ordinary course of the company’s
operations less any related sale expenses. Where necessary, impairments are performed for obsolete,
useless and particularly slow-moving inventory. The amounts of any impairment of inventories at net
realisable value and all the losses on inventories are recognised as an expense in the period in which the
impairment or loss occurs. The cost of inventory does not include any financial expenses. The acquisition
cost of inventory is determined based on annual weighted-average price.
4.10
Trade receivables
The greatest volume of the Group sales concerns retail sales. Trade debtors are initially recorded at their
fair value while any balances beyond ordinary credit limits or balances with objective evidence that the
Group is in no position to collect are assessed for impairment. At the same time, impairment provisions
for expected credit losses are assessed.
Impairment losses, are recognised in the income statement.
4.11
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and in hand as well as short term highly liquid
investments in money market and bank deposits under 3 months.
The Group classifies time deposits and high liquidity deposits over 3 months in the item "Other current
financial assets". Bank deposits classified in this item are highly liquid, directly convertible into cash
without being subject to a significant risk of change in their value or giving rise to a significant cost in the
event of their earlier termination before the end of the contractual period. For this reason, cash flows of
the Group and the Company include this item as cash available, in a separate line item.
4.12
Share capital
 
JUMBO GROUP S.A.
Annual Report for the financial year 01.01.202
3-31.12.2023
85
Share capital is determined using the nominal value of shares that have been issued.
Common shares are
classified in equity. A share capital increase through cash includes any share premium during the initial
share capital issuance.
Expenses incurred for issuance of shares are accounted for, after the deduction of relevant income tax, as
a deduction from equity.
Expenses associated with the issuance of shares for the acquisition of
companies are included in the cost of the company acquired.
Retained earnings include current and previous financial year’s results as presented in the income
statement.
4.13
Financial Liabilities
As the accounting for financial liabilities remains largely the same under IFRS 9 compared to IAS 39, the
Group’s accounting principles regarding financial liabilities were not affected by the adoption of IFRS 9.
The Group’s financial liabilities comprise bank loans, trade and other payables and lease liabilities.
The Group’s financial liabilities (apart from loans) are presented
in the “Trade and other payables”
account, “Other current liabilities” account as well as in “Other long-term
liabilities” the
statement of
financial position.
Financial liabilities are recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual agreements of
the instrument and derecognised when the Group is discharged from the liability or the liability is
cancelled or expired. Interest expenses are recognised as an expense in the “Finance Costs” line of the
Income Statement. Financial leases liabilities are measured at their initial cost, net of the amount of the
financial payments capital. Trade payables are recognised initially at their nominal value and are
subsequently measured at their amortized cost, net of settlement payments. Shareholder’s dividends are
included in the “Other current liabilities” account, when the dividend is approved by the Shareholders’
General Meeting. Profit and loss is recognised in the Income Statement when the liabilities are written off
and through amortization.
Financial liabilities may be classified upon initial recognition at FVTPL, if the following criteria are met.
(a) The Classification reverses or reduces significantly the accounting mismatch effects that would
emerge if the liability had been measured at amortized cost.
(b) These liabilities belong to a group of liabilities, being managed or evaluated with respect to their
performance, based on fair value, according to the Group’s financial risks management strategies.
(c) A financial liability contains an embedded derivative, classified and measured separately.
4.14
Loans
Loan liabilities are initially recorded at cost reflecting their fair value reduced by the relevant expenses
for contracting the loan.
After the initial recognition they are measured at the amortized cost based on
the effective interest rate method. Borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they
occur.
Loans in foreign currency are measured at the closing rate at the statement of financial position date,
except for those loans for which the exchange rate regarding the conversion and payment has been
specified upon their initiation.
4.15
Income & deferred tax
The financial year’s charge with income tax consists of current taxes and deferred taxes, namely taxes or
tax relieves related to financial benefits arising in the period but which have already been allocated or
will be allocated by the tax authorities to different financial years and provisions regarding finalization of
income tax liabilities after relevant tax inspections for uninspected financial years. Income tax is
recognised in the statement of total comprehensive income with the exception of tax pertaining to

Annual Report for the financial year 01.01.202
3-31.12.2023
86
transactions directly recorded in equity, which is also recognised in equity or in other comprehensive
income.
Current income tax includes current liabilities or receivables from the tax authorities pertaining to tax
payable on taxable income of the financial year and any additional income tax pertaining to previous
years.
Current taxes are calculated according to tax rates and tax laws applied for the accounting periods to
which they pertain, based on taxable profit for the year. Changes in current tax items in assets or
liabilities are recognised as a part of taxable expenses in the statement of total comprehensive income.
Deferred income tax is determined based on the liability method arising from temporary differences
between the carrying amount and the tax base for items in assets and liabilities.
Deferred income tax is
not recognised if it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction, outside a
business combination and at time of the transaction, did not affect the accounting nor the tax profit or
loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on the tax rates expected to be applied in the
period during which the asset or liability will be settled considering the tax rates (and tax laws) in force
up to the statement of financial position date.
If it is not possible to specify the time of reversal of
temporary differences, the tax rate applied is the one being in force in the year subsequent to the
statement of financial position date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that there will be a future taxable profit for the use of the
temporary difference creating the deferred tax receivable.
Deferred income tax is recognised for the temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries
and affiliated undertakings, unless the reversal of temporary differences is controlled by the Group and it
is unlikely that temporary differences will be reversed in the foreseeable future.
Most changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a part of tax expenses in statement of
profit or loss.
4.16
Employee benefits
a) Short-term benefits
Short-term employee benefits (except post-employment benefits) monetary and in kind are recognised as
an expense when they accrue. Any unpaid amount is recognised as a liability, while in the case where the
amount paid exceeds the amount of services rendered, the company recognizes the excess amount as an
asset (prepaid expense) only to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction of future
payments or to reimbursement.
b) Post-employment benefits
Post-employment benefits include pensions or other benefits which the company offers after the
termination of employment to the employees as acknowledgement of their services. Thus, they include
both defined contribution schemes as well as defined benefits schemes. The accrued cost of the defined
contributions scheme is registered as an expense in the relative period.
• Defined contribution plan
Defined contribution plans are relating to contributions to Insurance Funds (eg Social Security), so the
Group does not have any legal obligation in the event that State Fund is unable to pay a pension to the
insured. The employer's obligation is limited to the payment of employer contributions to the insurance
companies or state social insurance funds. The payable contribution from the Group to a defined
contribution scheme, is recognised as liability, after deduction of the paid contribution, while the accrued
contributions are recognised in the income statement as an expense.
• Defined benefit plan

According to Law 2112/20 and 4093/2012 the company is obliged to compensate its employees in case of
retirement or dismissal. The amount of the compensation paid depends on the years of service, the level
of wages and the removal from service (dismissal or retirement). The entitlement to participate in these
programs is usually based on years of service of the employee until retirement.
In May 2021 the International Accounting Standards Board accepted the interpretation of IAS 19
Employee Benefits of the International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee on the
distribution of defined retirement benefits. This interpretation did not have an impact on the financial
statements since the Company applies the provisions of article 8 of L.3198 / 1955.
It is noted that the subsidiary company JUMBO TRADING has a defined contribution plan, JUMBO
TRADING LTD Employee Welfare Fund, which is funded separately and prepares its own financial
statements, under which employees are entitled to certain benefits upon retirement or early termination
of their services. Furthermore, JUMBO EC.R. has no legal or constructive obligation to pay compensation
to employees on termination of service. As a result, the aforementioned subsidiaries have not recognised
liabilities related to defined retirement benefits in their statement of financial position.
The liability that is reported in the Statement of Financial Position with respect to this scheme is the
present value of the liability for the defined benefit depending on the accrued right of the employee and
the period to be rendered. The commitment of the defined benefit is calculated annually by an
independent actuary with the use of the projected unit credit method. For the fiscal year ended at
31.12.2023 the choice of interest rate has been made under
the
Full Yield Curve method. The Yield Curve
uses
the yield of iBoxx AA –rated which is considered consistent with the principles of IAS 19, since it is
based on bonds corresponding to the currency and term estimation in relation to employee benefits and
appropriate for long-term provisions.
A defined benefit obligations plan is determined based on various parameters, such as age, years of
service, salary, specific obligations for payable benefits. The provisions for the period are included in
personnel cost , in income statement and consist of current and past service cost, the relative financial
cost, actuarial gains or losses and any possible additional charges. Regarding unrecognised actuarial
gains or losses the revised IAS 19R is followed, which includes a number of changes in accounting for
defined benefit plans, including:
- The recognition of actuarial gains/losses in other comprehensive income and permanent exclusion from
the year’s income statement.
- The expected returns on investment of the program of each period is not recognised according to the
expected returns but it is recognised the interest on net liability/(asset) according to the discount rate
used to measure the defined benefit obligation.
- The recognition of prior service cost in the income statement earlier than the plan readjustment date or
when the relative readjustment or end of service benefit is recognised.
- Other changes include new disclosures, such as quantitative sensitivity analysis.
4.17
Provisions and Contingent Liabilities/Assets
Provisions are recognised if the Group has current legal or constructive obligations as a result of past
events; their settlement is probable through outflows of resources and the exact amount of the liability
can be reliably measured.
Provisions are reviewed as at each statement of financial position date and
they are adjusted so that they reflect the present value of the expense expected to settle the liability.
If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle a liability for which a
provision has already been recognised, the provision is reversed.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements but they are disclosed, unless the
possibility of outflows of incorporating economic benefits is minimum. Contingent assets are not
recognised in the financial statements but they are disclosed if the inflow of economic benefits is
probable.

Leases
Company of the Group as a Lessee
On 01.07.2019, on the implementation of IFRS 16 "Leases" that replaced IAS 17 and its relevant
interpretations, the Group assessed whether the active contracts it had concluded constitute leases in
accordance with the new Standard and, therefore, the relevant assessment will be conducted
for each
new contract.
A contract constitutes or entails a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified
asset for a specified period of time in exchange for consideration. In these cases, the new Standard
requires the lessee to recognize the right-of-use assets and the lease liability.
Under IFRS 16, the distinction between operating and finance leases is eliminated and all leases are
recognised applying a single model, except in cases of lease terms of 12 months or less, without a
purchase option and
leases of low-value assets. Such rentals are recognised as an expense.
At the lease commencement date, the Group recognises as a lease liability the present value of future
lease payments. Lease liabilities are divided into short-term and long-term, depending on the repayment
period.
Valuation of lease liabilities mainly includes: fixed payments, variable payments based on an index or a
rate, the exercise price of a purchase option if it is certain that the option will be exercised. These
payments are calculated for the duration of the lease contract, which is the non-cancellable lease period.
Periods covered by options to extend or terminate are only included only if it is reasonably certain that
the options will be exercised by the Group.
Future rentals are discounted for the term of the lease, using the interest rate implicit in the lease, or if
this percentage cannot be easily determined, the incremental borrowing rate. This is the rate of interest
that a lessee would have to pay to borrow, over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds
necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment.
The Group mainly uses the incremental borrowing rate as a discount rate. The book value of lease
liabilities is recalculated using a renewed discount rate, where required, in cases where there is a contract
has been amended.
The right-of-use asset is measured initially at the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability
adjusted for any rental payments made on the date of commencement of the lease period or earlier, plus
the initial direct cost and an estimate of costs to be incurred in dismantling and removing the underlying
asset,
in the event of a contractual obligation, less
any lease incentives received.
The rights-of-use assets
are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation, calculated using the straight-line method over the term
of the contract, less any impairment losses and are adjusted regarding any amendments arising
subsequent
to the commencement of the contract.
Company of the Group as a lessor
When fixed assets are leased under finance leases, the present value of the rentals is recorded as a
receivable.
The difference between the gross amount of the receivable and its present value
is recorded
as deferred financial income. Revenue from lease is recognised in the income statement over the duration
of the lease using the net investment method, which represents a
constant periodic rate of return. Leases
in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset are
classified as operating leases. The Group and the Company are not counterparties with each other in the
capacity of a lessor.

Recognition of revenue and expenses
To facilitate recognition and measurement of revenues from contracts with customers, IFRS 15 establishes
a new model which includes a 5-step procedure.
1.
Identifying the contract with a customer
2.
Identifying the performance obligations.
3.
Determining the transaction price.
4.
Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations.
5.
Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.
Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange
for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third
parties (value added tax, other taxes on sales). If the amount of consideration is variable, then the Group
estimates the amount of consideration which it will be entitled to for transferring promised goods or
services, applying the expected value method or the most probable amount method. Transaction price,
usually, is allocated to each performance obligations on the base of relevant stand-alone selling prices of
promised contract, distinct good or service.
Revenues are recognised when the performance obligations are satisfied, either at a point in time (usually
for obligations relevant to transfer of goods at a client) or over time (usually for obligations relevant to
transfer of services to a client).
The Group recognises contractual obligation for amounts received from clients (prepayments) in respect
of performance obligations which have not been fulfilled, as well as when it retains an unconditional
right on an amount of consideration (deferred income) before the execution of contract ‘s performance
obligations and the transfer of goods or services. The contractual obligation is derecognised when the
performance obligations have been executed and the revenue has been recognised in Income Statement.
The Group recognises a trade receivable when it has an unconditional right to receive the consideration
amount for executed performance obligations arising from the contract with the client. Respectively, the
Group recognises a contract asset when it has satisfied the performance obligations, before client‘s
payment or before the payment becomes due, for example when the goods or the services are transferred
to the client before the Group‘s right to issue the invoice.
Revenue is recognised as follows:
Sale of Goods:
The revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the buyer obtains control of the
goods, usually upon delivery of the goods.
Income from rentals:
Revenue from operating leases of the Group’s investment properties is recognised
gradually over the life of the lease. The application of IFRS 15 has no effect on revenue recognition of this
category as it falls into application frame of IAS 17.
Income from Interest and Dividends:
Interest income
is recognised using the effective interest rate
method which is the rate which
accurately discounts the estimated future cash flows to be collected or
paid in cash during the expected life
of the financial asset or liability, or when required for a shorter
period of time, at its net present value.
Dividends are recognised as income upon establishing their collection right.
Expenses
Expenses are recognised in the income statement on an accrual basis. Payments made for operational
leases are transferred to profit or loss as expenses at the time the lease is used.
Expenses from interest are
recognised on an accrual basis.

Segment Reporting
The Group recognizes four geographical segments: Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria and Romania as
operating segments. The above segments are used by the Group management for internal reporting
purposes. The Management’s strategic decisions are based on the operating results of each reported
segment, which are used for the measurement of productivity.
In the segment “Greece” the Company’s Management also monitors the sales from Greece to North
Macedonia and Serbia based on the commercial agreement with the independent customer
Veropoulos Dooel and the sales from Greece to Albania, Kosovo, Bosnia and Montenegro based on
the commercial agreement with the independent customer Kid Zone Sh.p.k and from Greece to Israel
based on the commercial agreement with the independent customer Fox Group. The total sales of the
Company to North Macedonia, Albania, Kosovo, Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro and Israel for the
period 01.01.2023-31.12.2023 reached the amount of € 44.734 k.

Income tax
According to Greek tax legislation, the income tax for the year 01.01.2023- 31.12.2023 was calculated at the
rate of 22% on profits of the parent. The income tax was calculated at 10% on average, on the profits of
the subsidiary JUMBO EC.B. LTD in Bulgaria and at 16% on profits of the subsidiary JUMBO EC.R SRL in
Romania. In respect of the subsidiary companies in Cyprus, the tax rate was 12,5%.
Legislation relating to the Pillar II rules has been enacted or substantially enacted in certain jurisdictions
in which the Group operates. The legislation will be effective for the Group's financial year commencing 1
January 2024. As the Pillar II legislation has not been enacted at the balance sheet date, the Group has not
recognised any related current tax expense. The Group applies the exemption to the recognition and
disclosure of information about deferred tax assets and liabilities in relation to Pillar II income taxes as
provided for in the amendments to IAS 12 that have been issued in May 2023.
The legislation requires the Group to pay additional tax on the difference between the effective GloBE tax
rate by jurisdiction and the minimum rate of 15%. The Group has assessed its exposure to additional tax
under the Pillar II rules and the expected amount of additional tax is 4% - 5% in Bulgaria (JUMBO EC.B.)
and 2% - 2,5% in Cyprus (JUMBO LTD) on pre-tax profits. Currently, the Parent Company and the two
subsidiaries are monitoring the implementation of the Pillar II rules in the jurisdictions in which they
operate, which will be implemented this year with effect from 1 January 2024.

5.11.2 Fair value of financial instruments
The table below presents the financial instruments measured at fair value in the statement of financial
position, in a fair value measurement hierarchy. According to the fair value measurement hierarchy,
financial assets and liabilities are grouped into three levels based on the significance of data inputs used
for the measurement of their fair value. The fair value hierarchy has the following three levels:
Level 1
:
quoted prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:
inputs other than Level 1 that are observable for the financial assets or liabilities either directly
(e.g. market price) or indirectly (e.g. arising from market prices) and
Level 3:
inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The level, into which every
financial asset or liability is categorized, is determined based on the lowest
level of significance of the data inputs used for the measurement of their fair value.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are categorized
in the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Trade debtors and other trade receivables
The Company has established criteria for providing credit to clients which are generally based on the size
of the customer’s activities and an assessment of relevant financial information.
At each reporting date
all overdue or doubtful debts are reviewed so that it is decided whether it is necessary or not to make a
relevant provision for doubtful debts. Any write-off of trade debtors’ balances is charged against the
existing provision for doubtful debts.
The credit risk arising from trade debtors and checks receivable is
limited, given that it is certain that the amounts will be collected and appropriately liquidated.
Analysis of trade debtors and other trade receivables is as follows:

The subsidiary JUMBO TRADING LTD has a defined contribution plan, JUMBO TRADING LTD
Employee Welfare Fund, which is funded separately and prepares its own financial statements, under
which the employees are entitled to certain benefits upon retirement or early termination of their services.
Furthermore, JUMBO EC.R. SRL has no legal or constructive obligation to pay compensation to
employees on termination of service. As a result, the aforementioned subsidiaries have not recognized
liabilities related to defined retirement employee benefits in their statement of financial position.
The sensitivity analysis of the key assumptions used is presented below as follows:

The Company and the Group classify bank deposits with a maturity of more than 3 months as "other
current financial assets ". These deposits are highly liquid, directly convertible into cash without being
subject to a significant risk of change in their value or giving rise to a significant cost in the event of a
premature termination before the end of the contractual period. For this reason, they are included in a
distinct line in the cash flows of the Company and of the Group, as they are considered directly available.

rates, interest rates, market prices etc.), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s risk management policy
aims at limiting the negative impact on its financial results arising from the inability to forecast financial
markets and fluctuations in cost and revenue variables.
Risk management policy is executed by the Management of the Group. The procedure followed is the
following:
• Evaluation of risks related to the Group’s activities
• Methodology planning and selection of appropriate financial products to reduce risks
E
xecution/implementation in accordance with the procedure approved by management of the risk
management process.
The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of bank deposits, trade receivables and payables,
dividend payable and borrowings.

from the United States dollar and Romanian Lei (RON). This type of risk arises mainly from trading
transactions in these currencies as well as net investments in foreign entities.

Credit Risk Analysis
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognized in the
items of the statement of financial position, "Other long-term
receivables" (note. 5.12), "Trade debtors
and other trade receivables" (note. 5.14) "Other receivables" (note. 5.15), "Other current assets" (note. 5.16),
"Long-term
and short term restricted bank deposits " (note. 5.17), “Other current financial assets” (note
5.18) "Cash and Cash equivalents" (note. 5.19) and investments in Bonds (note. 5.11.2).
The Group continuously monitors its receivables identified either individually or in groups. Depending
on availability and fair cost, independent third party reports or analysis concerning the clients are being
used. Group’s policy is to cooperate only with reliable clients. The vast majority of sales concerns retail
sales.
The Group’s Management considers that all the above financial assets that have not been impaired at
previous reporting dates, are of good credit quality, including those that are due.
None of the above financial assets has been ensured with a mortgage or other form of credit insurance.
In respect of trade and other receivables, the Group is not exposed to any significant credit risk.
To
minimize the credit risk of cash and cash equivalents, the Group cooperates only with recognized
financial institutions of high credit standing.
The exposure of the Group's cash and cash equivalents to credit risk (including the "Other current
financial assets ", which consist of cash deposits of high liquidity, immediately convertible into cash or
cash equivalents without subject to significant risk of changes in value or at a significant cost in case of
early termination) in relation to their credit rating is as follows:

Liquidity Risk Analysis
The Group manages its liquidity by carefully monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long –
term financial liabilities as well as cash – outflows due in day - to - day business. Liquidity needs are
monitored in various time bands, on a day – to - day and week – to – week basis.
The Group ensures that there are sufficient available credit facilities, so that it is able to meet the short-
term business needs, after calculating the cash inflows resulting from its operation as well as its cash and
cash equivalents it maintains. The capital for the long-term liquidity needs is ensured in addition by a

Objectives & policies for capital management
The Group’s objectives regarding capital management are:

To ensure the
Group’s ability to continue as a going concern , and

To ensure an adequate return to shareholders by pricing its products and services depending on
the risk level.
The Group monitors the capital on the basis of debt to equity ratio. This ratio is calculated by dividing the
net debt by total equity. Net debt is calculated as the total of debt and lease liabilities as presented in the
statement of financial position minus cash and cash equivalents and other current financial assets. The
Company and the Group classify bank deposits with a maturity of more than 3 months as "Other current
financial assets". These deposits are highly liquid, directly convertible into cash without being subject to a
significant risk of changing their value or significant costs in the event of a premature termination before
the end of the contract period. For this reason, in the cash flow statement of the Company and of the
Group, they are included in a distinct line, as they are considered as immediately available.
Total equity comprises all the equity components as presented in the statement of financial position. This
ratio for the financial years 01.01.2023-31.12.2023 and 01.01.2022-31.12.2022 is analyzed as follows:

characteristics of the risks of the existing assets are changing. The Company has honored its contractual
obligations, including maintaining its capital structure’s rationality.
