In terms of nine-month 2022 results, Lamda Development, which owns the majority stake and manages the The Mall Athens, Golden Hall, Mediterranean Cosmos and the Designer Outlet Athens, reported Malls EBITDA of 48 million euros, up 54 percent compared with the same period of 2021 (up 50 percent like-for-like).
Group consolidated operating results (EBITDA) fell to 35 million euros, down from 329 million euros in the Jan-Sep period of 2021, which the developer attributes to the first-time consolidation of the Ellinikon project.

Adjusted consolidated net results (after financial results, taxes and minority interest) fell to 9 million euros in profits, down from 239 million euros in profits in 2021.
The total portfolio value (GAV) of the Ellinikon project amounts to 1.9 billion euros.
