Autohellas on Wednesday reported a 23.5% increase in its second quarter turnover to 255.2 million euros from 206.6 million in the same period last year.

Autohellas said the new franchise activity by Hertz in Portugal, which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2022, contributed 41.1 million euros to the group's turnover, but did not had significant impact on pre-tax earnings since this activity was exclusively seasonal.
