Financial loss was €5.8 mln, up from €4.2 mln in 2013, due mainly to un-realized exchange-rate losses caused by a weaker HUF, the statement said. Operating cash-flow was seen to improve 4% to €25.1 mln from €24.1 mln in 2013. The company operates 44 hotels – 22 in Hungary, nine in Slovakia, nine in Czech Republic, three in Romania and one in the UK.
The company said the unaudited data that it published yesterday was prepared according to International Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34) on Interim Financial Reporting. Danubius is a Standard-category issuer on the Budapest Stock Exchange.
