Strong improvement in financial indicators for the first half of the year

The Group posted revenue of €50.9 million at June 30, 2025, representing very strong growth of +89.5% compared with June 30, 2024 (restated). The Group's EBITDA2 rose sharply to €11.0 million at June 30, 2025 (compared with €0.3 million at June 30, 2024, restated). The EBITDA margin was 21.5%.

 

  • Real Estate Development division

The Real Estate Development division delivered a strong first half, driven by a very high level of deliveries (particularly on the "Kalaranna" project) and solid operational execution. Revenue[4] for this division amounted to €28.2 million at June 30, 2025, compared with €6.9 million at June 30, 2024 (restated), representing a sharp increase of +309.3%.

EBITDA improved significantly to €8.3 million at June 30, 2025, compared with €(0.7) million at June 30, 2024.

 

  • Hospitality & Tourism division

Revenue from the Hotel & Tourism business amounted to €22.7 million at June 30, 2025, compared with €19.9 million at June 30, 2024 (restated), representing double-digit growth (+13.7%) and illustrating strong momentum over the period despite the continuing difficult geopolitical environment in the Middle East. Domina Zagarella (Sicily) started its tourist season earlier than last year, benefiting from business demand. Domina Coral Bay (Sharm El Sheikh) performed well in the first half of the year, with occupancy rates in line with budget at nearly 85% at June 30, 2025.

Driven by revenue growth and effective cost control, EBITDA3 stood at €2.6 million at June 30, 2025, compared with €1.0 million at June 30, 2024 (restated).

 

  • Operating income

The PREATONI Group's operating income improved significantly to €6.9 million at June 30, 2025, compared with €(2.7) million at June 30, 2024 (restated).

 

  • Net Income

After taking into account the financial result of €(2.2) million, the consolidated net result was €4.5 million (compared with €(4.3) million as of June 30, 2024, restated). The Group's share of net income totaled €1.7 million as of June 30, 2025.

 

Positive free cash flow and lower debt

  • Equity

Equity attributable to the Group amounted to €163.9 million at June 30, 2025 (compared with €168.6 million at December 31, 2024).

 

  • Free cash flow

Gross operating cash flow amounted to €9.4 million at June 30, 2025, a sharp increase compared to June 30, 2024 restated (€2.2 million). After factoring in a positive change in working capital of €5.7 million (compared with (€1.4) million on June 30, 2024, restated), cash flow from operating activities amounted to €13.7 million, fully covering investments for the period (€1.3 million), net loan repayments (€7.7 million) and interest expenses (€2.4 million).

The Group posted positive free cash-flow[5] of €12.4 million at June 30, 2025. Overall, the change in cash position amounted to +€2.0 million in the first half of 2025.

Gross financial debt fell to €87.5 million at June 30, 2025 (including €41.1 million in bond loans) compared with €95.5 million at December 31, 2024. Net financial debt[6] for the period was €75.4 million at June 30, 2025. It should be noted that, after the reporting period, PREATONI Group subsidiary Pro Kapital Grupp continued to optimize its debt by partially repaying €9.4 million of bond loans (out of a total of €20 million) to reduce the Group's financial expenses, refinanced by a less expensive bank loan.

 

Significant growth in revenue and profitability for 2025

  • Real Estate Development division: launch of the "Blue Marine" project and continuation of other projects

The subsidiary Pro Kapital Grupp has just begun construction work on the Blue Marine residential building—the latest phase in the development of the prestigious Kl?versala district in Riga. This is a seven-story residential building comprising 96 apartments.

The company is also continuing construction on its other projects in Vilnius and Tallinn. These projects are scheduled for completion at the end of 2025. The projects will be delivered throughout 2025, with sales continuing into 2026. These sales will contribute to continued growth in revenue and EBITDA in the second half of the year.

  • Hospitality & Tourism division: continued improvement in profitability in the second half

The second half of the year got off to a good start at the Group's various sites. Domina Zagarella continues to perform well, in line with the Group's expectations. The tourist season is progressing very well in Sharm El Sheikh, where occupancy rates are currently above 90%. Given its seasonality, activity is always higher in the second half of the year; the results of the Hotels/Tourism division are therefore expected to improve in the second half compared to the first.

At the same time, investments are continuing in Sharm El Sheikh, both in terms of room renovations and the rollout of new services (25 stores as part of the Mastaba project and new facilities at the Aqua Marine hotel). New development projects are also under consideration (creation of a single main car park, relocation of the casino to the entrance of the site to attract new customers).

 

In view of the good results for the first half of 2025 and considering the seasonality of the Hospitality & Tourism division, PREATONI Group anticipates a significant increase in both revenue and profitability for the 2025 full year.
