4. Operating and financial review
4.1 General factors affecting operating and financial results
GENERAL FACTORS AFFECTING OPERATING AND FINANCIAL RESULTS
Management board believes that the following factors and important market trends have significantly affected the Group's results of operations since the end of the period covered by the latest published audited financial statements, and the Group expects that such factors and trends will continue to have a significant impact on the Group's results from operations in the future.
The key factors affecting the Group's financial and operating results are pointed below:
- the economic slowdown in CEE and SEE which may slow down the general economy in the countries where the Group operates;
- availability and cost of financing;
- impact of the supply and demand on the real estate market in CEE and SEE region;
- impact of inflation (according to Eurostat, the euro area annual inflation was 2.9% in December 2023);
- impact of interest rate movements (however, as of 31 March 2024, 100% of the Group's borrowings were either based on fixed interest rate or hedged against interest rate fluctuations, mainly through interest rate swaps and cap transactions);
- impact of foreign exchange rate movements (the vast majority of the Group's lease agreements are concluded in euro and include a clause that provides for the full indexation of the rent linked to the European Index of Consumer Prices, bonds issued in other currencies than euro were hedged against foreign exchange rate movements using cross currency SWAPs).
4.2 Specific factors affecting financial and operating results
REPAYMENT OF BONDS, BANK LOAN REFINANCING AND OTHER CHANGES TO BANK LOAN AGREEMENTS
During the three month period ended 31 March 2024:
