After examining two administrative cases, the Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania rejected Achema's appeals regarding the resolutions of the State Energy Regulatory Council, which approved the 2019 and 2021 LNG terminal price supplement. The Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania essentially confirmed that the state aid scheme applied since 2019 is legal, and the alleged state aid applied earlier (from 2016 to 2019) is not relevant for NERC when determining the amount of the SGDT component. Also, the litigation costs were covered to the Company.

No other significant events have occurred after the date of financial statements.

A FOREWORD OF THE CEO

Dear Stakeholders,

Financial performance of the first half of 2023 proves that our previous decisions and continuous efforts to improve efficiency and operational excellence have paid back, contributing to profitable results and improving solid free cash flow. Stable refining margins and stabilized energy price indexes have also played a role in achieving these results. However, a significant portion of this success can be attributed to additional revenue opportunities arising from the continued diversification of services in liquid energy terminals, the high utilization of LNG infrastructure, and increased returns from our global LNG activities.

In addition to a healthy financial performance, one of the most significant achievements within the second quarter was the introduction of the KN strategy until 2050. Our new vision broadens the scope of our activities by defining our role in the field of new energy, including a significant contribution to the region's energy transformation towards climate neutrality with a clear commitment to reshaping our operations to fully achieve our sustainability goals.

It is essential to highlight that our focus on the international LNG business development for the past couple years has also been rewarded with several significant new opportunities. In the first half of the year, KN became the commercial operator of the second LNG terminal in Germany (currently, KN operates two out of three LNG terminals in Germany). We also assisted to our clients in Italy on the greenfield Piombino LNG terminal project, providing support during the FSRU installation and subsequent commissioning and testing of the floating LNG terminal. We have also expanded cooperation with global energy company bp and enhanced further our presence in Brazil. Under the cooperation agreement, bp and KN will collaborate evaluating the commercial viability of the Açu trucked LNG station project.

Among the international achievements, there is also a signed Framework Agreement on cooperation opportunities in the field of international LNG business development between KN and SK E&S. SK E&S is responsible for energy sectors including LNG, renewables, and hydrogen within the SK Group, one of the largest conglomerates in the Republic of Korea.

All of these developments indicate that due to our systematic efforts, KN has established a reputation as a professional and reliable LNG terminal operator and project developer, not just within Europe, but also worldwide. The competences accumulated in Klaipėda through the development of the entire LNG value chain, along with the operational experience gained in the Port of Açu, play a pivotal role in realizing our international business development strategy and align with the objectives of the new KN strategy, which include expanding our LNG business abroad and the pursuit of new investment opportunities by 2030.

Regionally, KN expanded its operations horizontally, with additionally invoked infrastructure in Marijampolė. KN and AB ORLEN Lietuva have established a collaborative agreement for diesel loading operations at KN's leased Marijampolė Oil Terminal. This strategic move was prompted by the increased demand for oil product imports in the Ukrainian market.

Additionally, we were also focused on analysing further opportunities in the carbon capture and storage value chain in the Baltics, as well as looking into diversifying portfolio of products handled at our liquid energy terminals.

Prospects for the second half of 2023 remain optimistic, due to the strong foundations laid down within the first six months. However, we will maintain our focus on achieving commercial and operational excellence across all our areas and activities. This period is also pivotal for successfully launching our new strategic directions and goals, preparing for a successful 2024.

Regards, Darius Šilenskis Chief Executive Officer

REGULATED LNG ACTIVITIES

Regulated LNG activities (LNGT) segment includes activity of LNG terminal in Klaipėda which receives, and stores

KLAIPĖDA LNG TERMINAL

Assurance of long-term operation of Klaipėda LNG terminal

At the end of 2019 Board of KN took necessary decisions regarding implementation of measures for ensuring longterm (until 2044) activities of the Klaipeda LNG Terminal, including principal decision on the FSRU acquisition after 2024. At the end of 2019, Parliament approved state guarantee for Stage I (optimization of LNG security supplement) and Stage II (purchase of FSRU) of the longterm LNG supply project, which enabled AB Klaipėdos nafta to sign agreement with NIB on the loan for the purpose of Stage I. Consequently, security supplement reduction (by almost 40% since 2020) was proposed to National Energy Regulation Council (NERC). Based on NERC decision security supplement has been reduced and is applicable to all gas consumers starting January 2020.

Loan agreement for Stage II (FSRU acquisition) has been signed with NIB on 2020-03-09. On 2020-11-20 the European Commission (EC) approved the state aid to be provided in the form of state guarantee for the FSRU acquisition loan. By this, principal issues related to FSRU acquisition financing are solved.

Deliveries to Klaipėda LNG terminal

In 2023 HY1, six users from Estonia, Latvia, Norway, Poland and Lithuania have been using services of LNGT in Klaipeda. 18 LNG carriers have arrived at the LNGT and 17.27 TWh of LNG have been regasified and reloaded during 2023 HY1. In 2023 HY1, Lithuania's natural gas consumption was about 6.29 TWh, 87% from all imported natural gas in Lithuania's transmission system operator AB "Amber Grid" system were from Klaipeda LNGT.

In 2023 HY1, the average utilization of Klaipeda's LNGT was 74% (vs 59% the same period year ago). In comparison, based on data from GIE ALSI, the average Infrastructure of the Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal

LNG Terminal of AB Klaipėdos nafta is based on a Floating Storage with Regasification Unit (FSRU) technology. The terminal is connected to the gas transmission network of the natural gas transmission system operator AB Amber Grid by an 18-kilometre connecting gas liquefied natural gas, regasifies, and supplies it to main gas pipeline.

Following the Law on LNG Terminal, LNG activities must be carried out until at least 2044-12-31 and the LNG terminal operator acquires FSRU and becomes an operator no later than 2024-12-31. In 2021, following an extensive market investigation and an open tender for the acquisition of FSRU, the existing purchase option to acquire FSRU "Independence" has proven to be the most economically advantageous solution for KN. In October 2022, KN has informed the Norwegian company Höegh LNG of its decision to execute the right of FSRU Independence buy-out option. As the following steps, the FSRU operation and maintenance activity shall be ensured. KN decided to hire experienced technical manager for the FSRU's operation and maintenance (O&M) service provision and launched open tender for FSRU O&M service acquisition in the second half of 2022. The technical manager for FSRU expected to be selected and agreement signed by the end of 2023.

It was decided that FSRU "Independence" will fly the Lithuanian flag and be administrated by Lithuanian flag authority. For this purpose, the necessary legislation was reviewed and amended in 2023.

European utilization of LNG terminals in 2023 HY1 was 64%.

The LNGT complements and extends the existing natural gas supply infrastructure of the country, creates opportunities for supply diversification, allowed to cut imports from Russia, ensures the security of natural gas supply and fulfils the EU Directive N-1 Infrastructure Standard, i.e., creates preconditions for Lithuania to independently supply itself with the natural gas needed to meet the demand of the first necessity.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND MARKET

LIQUID ENERGY TERMINALS' BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND MARKET

The Company's liquid energy products' transshipment activities are mostly affected by:

  • - Company's infrastructure (number of jetties, water depth at jetties) and suprastructure for transshipment and storage of liquid energy products (number of tanks, pipelines, trestles, etc.).
  • - Oil terminals' economic attractiveness from logistical point of view (both transshipment tariffs and costs of the entire logistic chain).
  • - Macroeconomic, geopolitical environment in the regional and global oil refining and trade markets, overall market situation.

Main KN Liquid energy business clients – crude oil refineries, traders, and producers operating in the regional and global oil and petroleum product markets. Strategic oil refinery (hereinafter – Refinery) in the region, part of which oil products are transshipped through

Company's liquid energy terminals 2023 HY1 activity results were mainly affected by mixed geopolitical and demand/supply factors:

  • - Global fuel consumption continued to grow in HY1 2023, exceeded HY1 2022 and nearly reached the pre-pandemic volumes,
  • - Sanctions applied to Russian oil products (diesel, gasoline and other) import to EU from Feb 2023, raised concerns about possible shortages of diesel in EU, however,
  • - in HY1 2023 the region was still receiving an influx of diesel and gasoil cargoes from east of Suez enough to roughly cover the volumes that it could no longer receive from Russia.

Additional pressure to European oil products market demand/supply balance and therefore – refining margins of the region's refineries was exerted by:

- Disruptions to Europe's oil products supply due to industrial action in France (~60% of France refining capacities were offline in spring), and other unplanned European refineries outages,

Company's oil terminals are in southeast direction – it is Mažeikiai plant in Lithuania (managed by AB ORLEN Lietuva).

Main Company's competitors are oil terminals operating along the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea.

  • - Economic headwinds in some of Europe's largest countries that has constrained diesel demand,
  • - Fluctuating volumes of diesel import arrivals to Europe from Middle East, India and China.

As a result, Company's HY1 2023 Liquid energy Terminals segment revenues exceeded the same period of 2022 by 22% – and were primarily influenced by increased light oil products transshipment and storage volumes.

According to the statistical data, during HY1 2023 ports of the eastern Baltic Sea coast transshipped approximately 36.9 million tons of oil products, i.e., 4.9 million tons or 14% less compared to HY1 2022.

During HY1 2023, port of Klaipėda handled about 2.1 million tons of oil products, i.e., 0.2 million tons or 8.2% more than in HY1 2022.

Russian's ports share in total eastern Baltic Sea coast oil product transshipment market increased from 80% to 83%, the share of Klaipėda port increased from 5.0% to 5.7%.

TRANSSHIPMENT OF LIQUID ENERGY PRODUCTS

During the 6 months of 2023 the Company's Klaipėda and Subačius Liquid energy terminals transshipped 1,955 kt of liquid energy products compared to 1,967 kt during the respective period of 2022. The transshipment of both terminals for the 6 months of 2023 is 0.6% or 12 kt lower compared to the same period in 2022. Stable transshipment of liquid energy products is a result of the global and regional factors mentioned in the section "Liquid energy Terminals' Business Environment and Market".

Transshipment of bitumen in KLET continued to grow. During the 6 months of 2023 KN loaded about 52 kt of bitumen or 57% higher compared to same period in 2022.

During the 6 months of 2023 biofuels transshipment in KLET remained at a similar level if compared to the same period in 2022.

Transshipment of liquid energy products (diesel and gasoline) to tank trucks in the 6 months of 2023 is 6% higher compared to the same period of 2022.

Intensified activity of the clients involved in transshipment of biofuels and diesel significantly contributed to increased demand for the storage services for these products – revenue from the rent of shore tanks during the 6 months of 2023 increased 67% compared to the same period in 2022.

To further expand the scope of activities and diversify products portfolio in Klaipėda and Subačius Liquid energy terminals, the Company continues to develop business relationships with international and regional market players.

**During Gas Year LNG regasification capacity may be changed to LNG reloading capacity.

Total 36,700 GWh LNG regasification capacities of LNGT were allocated for the Gas Year 2023 (period from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023). In 2022 KN has allocated long-term capacity until the end of 2032. LNGT users from Lithuania, Latvia and Poland have been granted 4 LNGT capacity packages of 6 TWh/year (24 TWh) each for a period of ten years starting from 1st January 2023. Following the renewal of the LNGT capacity allocation mechanism this year, in ten years approximately 60% of the LNGT total capacity per year is allocated to terminal users with long-term contracts. During the Annual Capacity allocation procedure, the LNGT regasification capacity of 9 TWh has been allocated to five Terminal users for the 2023 gas year.

16,355 GWh of LNG have been regasified and transmitted to AB "Amber Grid" transmission system during 2023 HY1. It should be noted that in 2023 HY1, six users from Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Norway, and Lithuania have been using LNGT in Klaipeda. Starting from the Terminal Gas Year 2023 new terminal user from Latvia has started to use services of the Terminal.

During 2023 HY1 the Klaipeda LNGT:

  • Performed 32 ship-to-ship operations (26 ship-toship operations in 2022 HY1).
  • 1,113.5 thousand tonnes of LNG were received (832.6 thousand tonnes in 2022 HY1).
  • 1.403 billion nm3 of natural gas were regasified and supplied to the natural gas transmission system (1.148 billion nm3 in 2022 HY1).
  • 59,647.7 tonnes LNG were reloaded into small scale LNG carriers (4,187.1 tonnes were reloaded in 2022 HY1).
  • Accepted LNG origin was 47% from Norway, 42% from USA, 6% from Nigeria and 5% from Algeria (no more Russia related cargo accepted from March 2022).

The demand for LNG terminal capacity depends on several key criteria:

  • Joint gas demand of Lithuania and other neighbour countries.
  • Pricing offered by competing natural gas supply sources (gas supplied by pipeline or other LNG terminals in the region) and quantity of gas supplied.
  • Limitations of the Lithuanian natural gas infrastructure (transmission system capacity).
  • Supply of LNG in the global market.
  • LNG prices in the region and worldwide.
  • Duration and terms of gas supply contracts.
  • Availability and freight costs of LNG carriers.
  • In 2022 one of the highest impacts for increasing the usage of LNGT capacities was halted Russian natural gas imports to Lithuania.

GAS PIPELINES PROJECTS IN THE BALTIC STATES

Energy projects implemented in the Baltic region would enable the development of the LNG market and more efficient use of the available capacity of the LNG terminal. On 1st May 2022, the GIPL gas transmission pipeline between Lithuania and Poland started commercial operations.

KLAIPEDA LNG TERMINAL CAPACITY EXPANSION

KN as the operator of Klaipeda LNGT together with gas transmission system operator AB "Amber Grid" (hereinafter – the Operators) continue actions towards expansion of current Klaipėda LNG terminal regasification capacity and expansion of gas transmission system capacity in relevant entry and exit points. The implementation of the project should create additional LNG import capacity of 1.25 bcm/year preliminary from the second half of 2027.

In the period between December 2022 and the first quarter of 2023 the Operators performed non-binding phase of the Open season procedure, which revealed significant interest among the market participants in the opportunity to book expanded Klaipėda LNG terminal regasification capacity. Joint binding phase of open season procedure should be launched once the Operators have agreed all the steps and documents concerning this procedure with the relevant stakeholders, including the regulatory authority. It is envisaged that after additional evaluation by the Operators and in case the demand for additional capacities remains a binding phase of the Open season could be announced by the end of 2023.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

KN uses alternative performance measures (APM) to provide better understanding of the Group and the Company business operations. Currently, net profit (loss) of the Group and the Company is affected by material non-cash items. Therefore, the adjusted financial indicators are recalculated and presented by eliminating from net profit (loss) the following amounts: (1) the impact of unrealised foreign currency exchange rates (forex) arising from IFRS 16 requirements, (2) respective impact of deferred income tax arising from forex and (3) impact of financial derivatives.

Since 2019, KN's financial results have been affected by IFRS 16 "Leases" – a new standard which came into effect on 1 January 2019 and by the reduction of LNG security supplement from 1 January 2020 by EUR 26.8 million per annum (EUR 13.4 million for the 6 months of 2023). These changes have significantly affected KN's statement of financial position, statement of comprehensive income, and financial indicators. When the standard has become effective, the lease obligations are recognized in the statement of financial position as an asset and a liability (right-of-use assets and a lease liability). As most lease payments are denominated in USD, the positive impact of unrealized USD/EUR exchange rate in amount of EUR 5,666 thousand has been recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in 6 months of 2023 (in 6 months of 2022 – a negative impact of EUR 19,869 thousand). However, it is a non-cash item, which has no impact to the Group's and the Company's actual earnings. The reduction of the LNG security supplement reduced revenue of the Group and the Company by EUR 13.4 million for the 6 months of 2023 and 2022. The LNG security supplement reduction is financed by NIB loans; therefore, the cash flows of the Group and the Company are not affected. The reduced revenue will be returned to the Company over the period of operation of the LNG terminal.

The calculation of adjusted net profit (loss) of the Group and the Company is presented below:

AB KLAIPĖDOS NAFTA CONSOLIDATED INTERIM REPORT For the six months period ending on 30 June 2023

The main reasons for the increase of the Group's adjusted net profit by EUR 244 thousand compared to the 6 months of 2022 are – EUR 2,052 thousand higher adjusted net profit from Liquid energy terminals, EUR 576 thousand higher adjusted net profit from commercial LNG activities. Regulated LNG activities adjusted net profit is EUR 2,384 thousand lower. For detailed explanations see below:

  • Adjusted net profit (loss) of Liquid energy terminals is higher by EUR 2,052 thousand mainly due to higher revenue from liquid energy product transshipment and storage services by EUR 2,583 thousand or 22.2%. Liquid energy Terminal segment expenses are EUR 574 thousand or 5,2 % higher mainly due to increased depreciation and amortization expenses by EUR 255 thousand (implementation of investments) and due to increased staff remuneration by EUR 250 thousand.
  • The adjusted net profit (loss) from commercial LNG activities is higher by EUR 576 thousand mainly due to higher revenue by EUR 876 thousand.
    • - In the beginning of 2020, the Company has signed a long-term contract with the Polish state gas company PGNiG to reserve capacity of Klaipeda small scale LNG station for the next 5 years, starting from Q2 2020.
    • - On 16 September 2021 Gas Natural Açu (GNA) LNG-to-power project in port of Açu, Brazil has launched commercial operations.
    • - KN is contracted by LNG Terminal Wilhelmshaven GmbH (LTeW), a subsidiary of

German energy company Uniper, to provide the operational services for the first LNG terminal in Germany, located in Port of Wilhelmshaven on the North Sea coast. The LNG terminal has been successfully completed in extremely short terms and started commercial operations in January 2023.

• Adjusted net profit (loss) of regulated LNG activities (EUR 118 thousand) is lower by EUR 2,384 thousand due to (i) higher expenses by EUR 5,356 thousand – main reasons: (1) higher emission allowances' expenses by EUR 2.4 million; (2) accrued customers' compensation expenses of EUR 1.5 million in 2023; (3) FSRU expenses higher by EUR 0.5 million due to inflation and higher opex maintenance; (4) higher insurance expenses by EUR 0.4 million, consultation costs by EUR 0.3 million, and other expenses by EUR 0.3 million caused lower adjusted net profit (loss); therefore, (ii) revenue is higher by EUR 2,963 thousand - main reasons: (1) higher regasification revenue by EUR 12.3 million due to increased demand and regasification tariff from 0.41 EUR/MWh (from May 2022 – 1.19 EUR/MWh) in 2022 to 1.41 EUR/MWh in 2023; (2) higher LNG reloading revenue by EUR 0.5 million; (3) other LNGT revenue is higher by EUR 0.9 million due to payments from the clients for the unused allocated capacity; (4) lower revenue from the fixed part of LNG regasification service fee by EUR 10.8 million due to implemented LNG terminal capacity allocation and tariffication model when KN part in security supplement from May 2022 was decreased to 0 EUR/(MWh/day/year).

SALES REVENUE

The Group's sales revenue for the 6 months of 2023 (EUR 42,398 thousand) is 17.9% or EUR 6,422 thousand higher compared to the 6 months of 2022 (EUR 35,976 thousand).

The Company's sales revenue for the 6 months of 2023 (EUR 40,946 thousand) is 18.8% or EUR 6,488 thousand higher compared to the 6 months of 2022 (EUR 34,458 thousand).

The total revenue of the regulated LNG activities for the 6 months of 2023 amounts to EUR 24,804 thousand and is EUR 2,963 thousand or 13.6% higher compared to the 6 months of 2022. The activity of LNG terminal is regulated and has a price cap; therefore, return from LNG activity does not depend on regasification volume. For more information, concerning regulated revenues refer to the article "Regulated profit of LNG terminal".

Sales revenue from Liquid energy terminals for the 6 months of 2023 amounts to EUR 14,199 thousand and is EUR 2,583 thousand or 22.2% higher compared to the 6 months of 2022 (EUR 11,616 thousand). The increase of revenue was due to higher revenues from the sales of tanks rental and liquid energy products storage.

Sales revenue from commercial LNG activities for the 6 months of 2023 (EUR 3,395 thousand) is 34.8% or EUR 876 thousand higher than for the 6 months of 2022 (EUR 2,519 thousand).

REGULATED PROFIT OF LNG TERMINAL

LNG terminal, its infrastructure and connection implementation as well as exploitation costs fully or partially are included into the natural gas transmission service price in accordance with the rules and guidance's set by NERC based on the regulations set in the Energy Law, Natural Gas Law and other laws of the Republic of Lithuania related with energy prices regulation.

The total level of LNG terminal revenue is confirmed by NERC based on the approved methodology of Government regulated prices in the natural gas sector (hereinafter – Methodology). According to the Methodology, the level of LNG terminal revenue is calculated for upcoming year by summing 2 components: 1) Estimated necessary costs for the LNG terminal exploitation and operations; 2) Estimated return on investment of LNG terminal infrastructure.

The revenue of the LNG terminal activity comprises of 3 components:

  • Fixed part of LNG regasification service price is approved annually by NERC. This part of the price is included into the additional Security Supplement added to the gas transmission price.
  • Variable part of LNG regasification service price is received for the regasified volume directly from LNG terminal users. The regasification tariff is approved annually by NERC.
  • LNG reloading service revenue for reloaded LNG quantity. The tariff of the LNG reloading service is also approved annually by NERC.

Revenue from LNG regasification (variable part) and LNG reloading service revenue are recognized at the moment during which the services were provided according to the tariffs approved by NERC.

The tariff of LNG Security Supplement is set annually by NERC based on the amount required to be collected (estimated LNG terminal revenue) and proportionally allocated for the forecasted gas consumption capacities. LNG security supplement is paid by the users of natural gas transmission system, including the end users, together with the other payments for the natural gas transmissions services. The payments are collected by the transmission service operator (hereinafter – TSO) either directly from users or from suppliers of natural gas in case the user has no direct contractual obligations with the TSO.

Actual LNG Security Supplement contributions and payments may differ from planned ones (calculated at the approval of Security Supplement) due to the variation of consumption capacities or other differences.

The differences between the net profit of LNG terminal segment (non-regulated) and the profit of the regulated activity are determined by different calculation principles. Financial accounting is prepared in accordance with IFRS requirements, while the result of regulated activities is calculated in accordance with the methodology approved by NERC.

LNG operating expenses are recognized in the relevant period when they are incurred.

The regulated profit of LNG terminal is calculated by adjusting the determined return on investment by income and expenses not attributable for the regulated activity in terms of regulation (which influence financial results).

During the 1st regulatory period (2014-2019) a surplus has been calculated by NERC after the third and the fifth regulatory years. The surplus after third full regulatory year (2014-2017) has reduced the level of LNG terminal revenue for 2019 and surplus after fifth regulatory year (2014-2019) reduces the level of LNG terminal revenue for 2021. The identified surplus has reduced LNG terminal revenue for 2019 by EUR 787 thousand and revenue for 2021 by EUR 2,589 thousand.

For the 2nd regulatory period (2020-2024) the Company's LNG terminal revenue for 2022 has been reduced by EUR 7,105 thousand due to significant net excess income earned in 2020. Moreover, NERC has calculated the surplus of regulated profit after two periods (2020-2021) and has reduced the level of LNG terminal revenue for 2023 by EUR 568 thousand (for 2023 H1 – EUR 284 thousand).

According to the changes of Methodology, Company accumulates collected additional income from variable and fixed parts of LNG regasification price to reduce the security supplement in the future periods when costs of LNG terminal will not be collected directly by LNG terminal users and accordingly KN part of the security supplement will be positive.

The Company estimates temporary regulatory differences due to net excess income or costs with their impact on the corresponding financial periods' financial performance, which is provided in the table below.

IMPACT OF IFRS 16 AND CAPITALISATION OF PURCHASE OPTION

As of 31 December 2019, the Group and the Company has capitalized purchase option under the lease agreement. According to IFRS 16 requirements, lessee should remeasure lease liability of each agreement upon the occurrence of either a significant event or a significant change in circumstances at each financial statements' date. It is the duty of the management to re-evaluate the probability to realise the purchase option at each financial statements' date in the upcoming reporting periods and in circumstances if any changes occur, it must be reflected in the financial statements respectively. During the first half of 2023 no significant events and circumstances have occurred that would have the impact and respectively no changes in finance lease accounting under IFRS 16 requirements have been made as of 30 June 2023.

During the year of 2019 the following significant events have happened that determined the need to reassess the probability of realizing the purchase option:

  • On 1st March 2019 amendments of the Republic of Lithuania Law on Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal No XI-2053 Article 5 and 9 (further – the Law) entered into force stipulating obligation to the Company as a Liquefied Natural Gas terminal operator to acquire ownership of FSRU (by selecting the most economic option) not later than by 31st December 2024;
  • On 19th September 2019 European Commission has approved state aid consent regarding LNG security supplement reduction;
  • On 24th October 2019 the Board of the Company has adopted a decision to acquire FSRU no later than by 31 December 2024 with the conditions that 1) loan to finance the purchase is arranged and 2) Parliament approves the State guarantee for the loan;
  • On 19th December 2019 a binding offer from NIB to finance the 100% purchase price of FSRU (up to 160 MMEUR) has been received;
  • On 19th December 2019 Parliament has approved granting State guarantees for NIB loans for LNG security supplement reduction and purchase of FSRU;
  • On 20th December 2019 a loan agreement with NIB has been signed for the LNG security supplement reduction.

While evaluating the probability to realize the purchase option the management of the Company has considered a number of economic, size and FSRU technological circumstances, which has shown that:

  • Currently used FSRU is economically most favourable when compared to the 1) availability; 2) price factors of the same size and functionality of new and used FSRUs and conversions of LNG carriers and 3) possible additional investments needed for any other FSRU;
  • In terms of size the industry is currently being equipped by modern 170-180 tm3 FSRUs and LNG carriers, enabling to unload to FSRU full cargo of

conventional size LNG carriers (140-180 tm3) and not limiting LNG suppliers' interest in using the terminal;

  • Current terminal size and parameters are needed in order to meet N-1 criteria for energy security, i.e. to ensure gas supply in the event of failure of the largest supply infrastructure during highest daily demand;
  • Technologically currently used FSRU has the technology that is still regarded as advanced/not obsolete in comparison with other developments and can easily accept "green gases" and remain functional in the context of the EU "green policy" decisions in the long term;
  • In 2019 implemented dry-dock has confirmed that currently used FSRU is in good condition and is designed to be operative for at least 25 more years.
  • On 20th November 2020 European Commission has approved state aid consent regarding acquisition of LNG floating and storage unit. The decision of the European Commission secures Company's ability to make a withdrawal of funds under the Loan agreement concluded between the Company and Nordic Investment Bank on 9 March 2020.
  • During 2021, KN, as part of a project of long-term LNG import infrastructure solution, organised intensive discussions with market participants, a

market consultation on the procurement documents and launched a public international tender for the acquisition of the FSRU in mid-year.

As of 31 December 2022, the mentioned conditions were still applicable and have not changed. Furthermore:

  • In February 2022 the Board of KN has taken a decision on the acquisition of the FSRU Independence at the end of its lease agreement.
  • On 25th of February 2022 Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders has adopted the resolution and approved the decision of the AB Klaipėdos nafta Board to acquire the floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) Independence.
  • Company has notified Höegh group companies that KN exercises an option right to acquire Independence. After fulfilling all the option conditions specified in the Time Charter Party, the Company will acquire the FSRU no later than 6 December 2024. Until then the Company will continue to lease the FSRU under the same conditions.

The management of the Company is reasonably confident that the purchase option of the lease contract will be realized; therefore, no changes in purchase option accounting as of 30 June 2023 have been made.

PAYROLL SYSTEM AND REMUNERATION POLICY

The Company seeks to create motivating, efficient, fair, transparent, and easy to understand compensation system which aims to attract, retain, and motivate employees whose skills and work results help the Company to successfully develop and implement its mission and achieve strategic business objectives. Therefore, in September of 2016 the Employee Remuneration Policy has been formed and approved. In September of 2017 the Procedure of Remuneration System Formation has been approved.

The Employee Remuneration Policy defines the principles of determination and payment of remuneration as well as the incentives of employees. The Remuneration policy applies to all employees of the Company.

The goals of the Remuneration Policy are to:

  • Establish clearly understandable, fair, and transparent procedures for the determination and payment of remuneration as well as the incentives of employees, aiming to ensure the Company's competitiveness in the labour market;
  • Encourage the employees to achieve the objectives set in the corporate strategy, to create value added and increase the returns to shareholders while fostering the values of the Company.

The remuneration of the employee may consist of the following components: a fixed component, i. e. a monthly salary (or a wage) and a variable component payable for either short-term performance results or the annual results of the Company's/the employee's performance.

The Company's remuneration system is based on job structure framework, created using the Hay Methodology by determining the weight of each position (to ensure fair remuneration for work within the Company). The amount of the monthly remuneration for the position is determined by assessing the level of knowledge and work experience required to perform the functions of each position, the complexity of the functions, the degree of responsibility and management level, the impact / risk on the Company's performance, working conditions. In order to ensure the competitiveness of the remuneration of the Company's employees and to promote the achievement of results, the remuneration (fixed and variable remuneration components) focuses on the range of the 50th and 75th per centiles of the remuneration market of foreign capital companies operating in Lithuania. Employees in the same position can receive different monthly pay depending on qualifications, experience, capabilities, and functions and responsibilities assigned to the employee. The variable component is set according to the procedure laid down in the Remuneration Policy.

Employee's base salaries are usually reviewed once a year considering: Lithuanian labour market trends; the Company's performance results; The results of the evaluation of the Company's employees; demand – supply situation for jobs important to the company in the labour market.

In fourth quarter of 2022 a new Collegial advisory body to Supervisory Council has been established – the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.

Detailed information on the remuneration system of the Company's management is provided in 2022 AB Klaipėdos nafta Report on Remuneration.

EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION AND ANNUAL BONUS ALLOCATION

The Company has implemented the procedures for annual employee performance evaluation and annual bonus allocation. These bonuses depend on the achievement of the goals set directly for the person, service director or for the Company. Annual employee performance review together with periodic and frequent one to one meetings throughout the year are one of the most effective management and leadership techniques that increase employee engagement and help to achieve the organizational goals. Such practice creates collaborative and positive relationships between managers and their subordinates that allow to make it clear

-employees while planning their careers, increasing their motivation, and promoting continuous improvement in their professional field.

Employees of all categories – workers, specialists, and managers – are assessed and rewarded annual bonus for achieving pre-set annual goals (WHAT) and evaluation on their compliance to Company's values (HOW). In 2020 implementation of Asaichi methodology being one of the three LEAN tools initiated in the Company brought even better performance management when KPIs have been reviewed and actioned with personal accountability daily. Annual performance review meetings, on the other hand, allow to reflect on the entire year through the lens of competence development, safety-minded behaviour, learning opportunities, career-advancement, and aspirations.

EMPLOYEE SELECTION AND RECRUITMENT

The Teamtailor platform (Applicant tracking system) was implemented to ensure a more efficient recruitment of employees as well as more convenient tool for hirings managers. Since April 2020 the Company implemented Employee Selection and Recruitment procedure whose purpose is to standardize the employee selection process and ensure efficient and effective procedures for organizing the selection of KN personnel (employees and trainees) in order to successfully achieve the objectives of KN – to select employees who recognize the values of KN and have the greatest potential to achieve the objectives set for them.

In order to ensure that the objectives set out in KN's strategy are met, an assessment and planning of staffing needs is carried out. Each year management of the Company draws up a staffing plan for the upcoming year. The plan takes into account the workload of staff, the need for new positions (due to organizational changes or legal requirements), staff mobility (transition from one staff position to another) and natural change (retirement, parental leave, etc). The main steps of the recruitment process include the evaluation of need for employee, determination of required competencies, search and attraction of potential candidates, job interviews, final decision, and preparation of the offer.

PRINCIPLES OF EMPLOYEE COMPETENCE DEVELOPMENT

KN education system is designed to promote the development of employees both independently and through the learning processes of strategically important knowledge and skills that are part of the curricula. All employees are given the opportunity to participate in the programs. The implementation of KN education system is based on 6 principles: link with business strategy, cooperation between departments, identification of needs based on assessment of employees' competencies, measurement of learning effectiveness, integration of education with other processes and selection of appropriate educational tools.

In 2022 no less than 15% of annual learning and development budget was allocated to fund employees with various formal studies at different universities.

For the last three years Company conducts 360-degree feedback study for managers. Following the method, KN Managers receive feedback on their behaviour according to the Company's values and leadership competencies from people who work with them. Based on survey results Managers create their Personal development plans and thus grow to be even better leaders for their teams. In 2022 KN leadership standard training was conducted for new managers. Also, in 2022 the Company focused on development of sales and negotiation, project management competencies and cooperation between departments to improve the focus on the client.

RISK FACTORS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company's Board has approved Risk Management Policy that regulates risk management, defines risk management principles and responsibilities, functions and responsibilities of the Chief Risk Officer as well as sets risk appetite and tolerance limits. The risk management system is developed in accordance with the ISO 31000 guidelines. The list of principal risks and the risk management plan are provided to and approved by the Company's Board each quarter. The Board actively participates in the principal risk management process by continuously monitoring the risk level changes and the risk management measures' action plans. The Company's high-level management is responsible for shaping the personnel's attitude towards risk management, setting the risk management goals in the managed area, implementation of the control measures, implementation and monitoring the efficiency of the risk management measures. The medium level managers are responsible for implementation of the risk management process and provision of the results, as well as for reliability, correctness, and impartiality of information.

The Audit Committee reviews financial reporting process as well as audit execution process and oversees internal control environment, risk management and internal audit framework.

In 2022 the Company developed a risk methodology defining risk management processes in the organization. For internal ranking purposes, the Company has an extensive risk ranking methodology; for communication purposes, below, we provide a simplified version.

Risk probability:

Low – there should be several events for risk to materialize.

Medium – there is 50% chance of risk to materialize.

High – almost certain that risk will materialize in 3-year period.

Risk impact:

Low – risk could have impact to operations without impact to yearly plans.

Medium – risk could have impact to company's shortterm- plans implementation.

High – risk could have major impact to company's strategy implementation.

Risk level:

Risk matrix

Low – risk managed if cost of management does not outweigh possible impact.

Medium – in most cases risk managed or monitored, but there could be decision to monitor risk.

High – risk actively manged with possible exception made by the Board (In some cases strategy review process could be initiated to reduce level of risk).

Probability

COMMENTS ON THE RISK CATEGORIES OF THE GROUP AND THE COMPANY ARE PROVIDED BELOW:

Risk No 1. Business risk – client concentration risk

Risk impact: High

Risk probability: Low

Risk level: Medium

The Company works with several big clients in the area of oil products transshipment. One of the clients contributes a significant portion of oil product transshipment via operated oil terminals and income flows.

The Company continuously looks for other potential clients, flows of shipments and alternative activities. Also, the Company reviews existing expenses and constantly searches for costs optimization possibilities.

The Company is striving to manage its business risks by diversifying its income sources and widening the range of services, communicating and cooperating with potential clients, who are interested in blending services, storage

and transshipment of petrochemical products such as monoethylene glycol, ethanol, methanol and loading of new product bitumen. The Company also operates liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal, consults and participates in international investment projects related with the development of LNG terminals, provides small scale- LNG services.

During 2020 political risk materialized, and one of the largest clients BNK (UK) Limited, which belongs to the largest exporters of Belarusian oil products – ZAT Belaruskaja neftenaja kampanija, announced a temporary suspension of transshipment. Moreover, starting from 24th June 2021, sanctions on Belarus were introduced by Council Regulation (EU) 2021/1030 – no more transit of oil product flows from Belarus are possible and are not expected in the future. Due to these external operational risks, KN will have to implement long-term strategic decisions to adapt to new geopolitical circumstances. Consequently, a long-term 2050 corporate strategy has been prepared.

Risk No 2. Operational risk – major incidents causing environmental and infrastructure damage.

Risk impact: Medium

Risk probability: Medium

Risk level: Medium

Operational risk is considered as risk directly related to the increase of losses caused by external factors (for example, natural disasters, illegal acts of third parties, and others) or internal factors (for example, ineffective activity and management, improper and inadequate utilization of funds, internal control deficiencies, ineffective procedures, human error, malfunctions of information systems, cyber security control gaps, unduly allocation of functions or responsibilities, and other).

Due to the nature of high-risk activities, risk could not be considered low impact.

To manage the internal operational risk, the Company implemented required organizational measures and procedures and information systems to support business processes that ensure the proper functioning of the internal control system and duly cooperation with the third parties concerned. The Company applies the following means of internal control: separation of decision-making and controlling functions, management of transactions and accountancy, limitation of decisionmaking powers and authority of their execution, collegial decision-making in crucial issues, and other.

AB KLAIPĖDOS NAFTA CONSOLIDATED INTERIM REPORT For the six months period ending on 30 June 2023

In addition, KN constantly updates and reviews its insurance program in order to ensure loss minimization in case of an accident.

Internal operational risk management is significantly influenced by the standards implemented and maintained in the Company – Quality ISO 9001:2015, Environmental Protection ISO 14001:2015, Occupational Health and Safety ISO 45001:2018. These standards impose requirements for the control of processes according to the most significant risks and management system audits, which ensure that the described rules and procedures operate in practice.

The Company strives to minimize legal compliance risk and ensure its operations are compliant with the applicable legal requirements and standards. Infrastructure, as well as management and safety processes, cooperation with the third parties, and control system, has been positively evaluated by the representatives of potential clients of the terminals.

KN has established a compliance function to manage operational risks better and periodically updates its compliance status.

KN's reputation highly depends on the public's perception of the LNG terminal's economic value to the state of Lithuania. Therefore, the Company constantly performs public perception analyses and, in 2022, noticed a significant improvement in favourable public opinion influenced by geopolitical events. Regarding the Company's general perception, no critical events could impact reputation in the long term.

KN will no longer participate in further periods as KN made sufficient improvement according to the methodology.

One of the instruments for the prevention of infringements is the Whistleblowing channel, which is open to all natural persons and legal entities: both existing and former KN employees, former and potential KN clients, contractors, suppliers, and the community. It provides a possibility to inform the collegial managing bodies of KN directly.
