The Strategic Business Plan of the Telekom Slovenije Group for the period 2024–2028 represents the core corporate document. Defined in that document through its mission, vision, values, business model and objectives is the Telekom Slovenije Group's future development.

That document is based on available data, taking into account regulatory restrictions and trends in the macroeconomic environment of the region in which the Telekom Slovenije Group operates.

Connecting opportunities

The future development of the Telekom Slovenije Group is based on the vision 'Connecting opportunities'. We represent the infrastructure foundation of connected users and devices.

The development of the Telekom Slovenije Group in the coming period will rely on highly qualified employees, the most advanced technologies, and sustainable development and social responsibilities.

The Group's future operations will focus on three strategic pillars:

  • We will record additional growth in revenues and market shares on telecommunications markets in Slovenia and abroad. Special emphasis will be given to making better use of the existing infrastructure.
  • As a reliable provider of critical infrastructure and the digitalisation of services, we plan the highest growth in the ICT segment and digital services. We will increase the value of services through the inclusion of cyber security solutions.
  • We will improve operational efficiency through the continued digitalisation of operations, the reduction of costs and the improved efficiency of investing activities.

Sustainable development

We include the principles of sustainability in our operations, products, services and content. We ensure the highest coverage through broadband access and advanced digital services. We responsibly accept our role in the adaptation to and mitigation of climate change, in part by reducing our carbon footprint, through energy efficiency and the use of cleaner energy sources. Together with our partners, we are promoting the transformation to a carbon-neutral and digitally connected Slovenia with a comprehensive range of solutions for the further development of smart cities, businesses and communities. Through our activities, we are bridging the digital divide and striving for an inclusive, healthy and safe society.

  • The Telekom Slovenije Group's operating expenses totalled EUR 475.6 million, an increase of 2% relative to the same period in 2023.

3.6 Risk management

The material risks at the Telekom Slovenije Group and the measures to manage them are presented below.

Strategic risks

  • We operate on markets subject to stiff competition in terms of pricing, services and the infrastructure, regulatory requirements, and changing customer needs, expectations and price sensitivity. Managing these risks requires a targeted market approach, constant innovation, the active monitoring of user expectations and market trends, and flexibility in supply.
  • The optimisation and development of the product portfolio are ongoing processes. We follow user needs by updating our mobile and fixed packages, by offering innovations and by enriching programme content. The emphasis is on ensuring the highest quality and the broadest set of competitive services for the most diverse user segments. We promote the migration of users to more current packages, and implement activities to maintain subscribers.
  • We promote the use of advanced mobile payment options (e.g. VALÚ, VALÚ Moneta and payments for digital content).
  • We carry out activities to promote the sale of cyber security, IT support, eCare and digital infrastructure services (smart cities, energy, mobility, Industry 4.0 and mobile private networks), and comprehensive ICT solutions tailored to the needs of business users. Strategic partnerships for innovative solutions are being formed.
  • Intensive activities are being carried out in the area of eCare for the smooth transition to an insurance system for long-term care in line with the entry into force of the Long-Term Care Act.
  • We are digitalising user processes (digital communications, simple IT architecture and technology).
  • A new cloud-based CRM system has been introduced to provide support to sales processes for business users and the needs of the wholesale market. That system will facilitate the most advanced customer relationship management approaches and methods.
  • We manage risks in connection with securing investment projects and taking on major transactions by searching for new opportunities on domestic and foreign markets.

Financial risks

• We regularly monitor changes in the financial environment and the financial risks to which we are exposed in our operations.

  • Liquidity risk is controlled through the management and planning of cash flows, through the optimisation of working capital, by ensuring that financial debt has appropriate maturities, through the use of liquid assets within the Group, and through short-term credit lines that are regularly rolled over with respect to needs.
  • Credit risk management is achieved through credit assessment and the active monitoring of subscribers' transactions, and by setting maximum allowable exposures. We manage the risk of the deteriorating financial position of subscribers through credit insurance and by regularly monitoring the appropriateness thereof. Monitoring of the settlement of contractual obligations and the active recovery of past-due debt are elements of comprehensive credit risk management.
  • Interest rate risk is managed by ensuring that financial debt with fixed interest rates and/or hedged interest rates or with variable interest rates is properly structured.

Regulatory and compliance-related risks

  • In our operations, we comply with valid legislation, as well as decisions and aspects of sectoral regulations and other competent bodies. We manage regulatory risks through organisational and procedural measures, through constructive dialogue, by putting forth opinions, comments and suggestions in public consultations regarding drafts of general and specific laws issued by the regulator, and by taking legal action against issued regulatory decisions, whenever that is justified.
  • The decision designating Telekom Slovenije as a universal service provider in the territory of the Republic of Slovenia expires at the beginning of December 2024. In the administrative procedure of designating a universal service provider for a further 5 years, initiated by AKOS, Telekom Slovenije responded by stating all the facts and arguments against the re-appointment of Telekom Slovenije as the universal service provider.
  • We process extensive collections of personal data relating to users, business partners, employees and other stakeholders. Much of our attention is therefore dedicated to the security and compliance of data processing, for existing services and for new services alike. Crucial in that regard is the application of general EU regulations and national legislation

(GDPR, Personal Data Protection Act, etc.), and sectoral legislation, in particular the Electronic Communications Act (ZEKom-2). Underlying laws have brought stricter regulation and increased the awareness of both users and the general public regarding the protection of data, while sectoral legislation sets out the obligations of the Company in individual areas of operations.

• We provide services in areas that are governed by Regulation (EU) 2022/2554 on digital operational resilience for the financial sector, which enters into force on 17 January 2025. In accordance with the requirements of the aforementioned regulation and associated implementing acts, we are updating our digital operational resilience processes and procedures.

Operational risks

  • A great deal of attention is given to the management of ICT-related operational and security risks.
  • We continuously optimise the network and the target architecture, data centres and other technical infrastructure. The fixed and mobile network and systems are the continuous subject of general and technological upgrades. The capacity of equipment is being upgraded and the number of licences increased in line with growth in traffic. The modernisation of the radio access network (RAN) and core network is being carried out at an accelerated pace in connection with the decision on the allocation of radio frequencies.
  • In terms of information security, systems for the control and management of this area are continuously developed. The network (fixed and mobile) and systems are continuously upgraded and adapted to new threats with the aim of preventing abuse. Potential threats on the dark web (stolen credentials, cyber-attacks and attack vectors used, etc.) are continuously checked. Security testing is performed continuously, and knowledge and data regarding threats are shared with European telecommunications operators and international cyber incident response teams. In place is the Cyber Security and Resilience Centre where increasing emphasis is placed on improving resilience.
  • Modern network technology (Software Defined Access or SDA), which already includes the zero trust principle of cyber security and advanced user identification and authorisation techniques, is being introduced at an accelerated rate in the internal business network.
  • We ensure business continuity through the establishment and continuous development of

the business continuity management system (BCMS), through the regular assessment of the system and the testing of plans, and through upgrades of topology and the capacity of the infrastructure and ICT services, as required. A search is in progress in Kosovo for a new secondary location to ensure business continuity in the event of a catastrophe (disaster recovery).

  • We also face risks associated with retaining key employees. We respond to these risks through targeted development and training programmes, by promoting the transfer of knowledge through mentors, by offering support to employees in the acquisition of new competences, by promoting cooperation and internal mobility, and by implementing other activities to motivate and retain employees. We work actively with various educational institutions, implement numerous activities to build the employer brand with the aim of attracting new and diverse candidates, and offer company scholarships.
  • We manage risks in connection with procurement processes through standardised procurement process and a supplier risk assessment methodology. To that end, compliance with contractual provisions is monitored. The Supplier Code of Conduct falls into this category of activities. We search for alternative suppliers and employ a strategy of two or more suppliers. We also explore the possibility of additional suppliers, in particular for critical goods and services.

Risks relating to sustainability aspects of operations

  • We regularly monitor the impacts of the internal and external environments, and determine the impacts and probability of risks based on a materiality assessment in the process of identifying risks to which the Group is exposed.
  • Exposure to transition and physical risks is relatively low. Risk management measures relate primarily to ongoing efforts aimed at energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in line with the strategy.
  • The digital and green transitions are integrated into the Group's strategy, which is based on the superior quality of the network, the most advanced ICT services and solutions and cleaner energy sources, all of which contributes to the mitigation of climate and environmental changes and the adaptation to the impacts thereof, and also facilitates energy savings.
  • We regularly brief stakeholders and provide information regarding activities relating to socially responsible and sustainable conduct via communication campaigns and cooperation with prominent groups of stakeholders.

Telekom Slovenije received a lawsuit for the payment of ordinary damages in the amount of EUR 12,195,656.00, payment for lost profit in the amount of EUR 35,760,909.00 and the non-existence of claims in the amount of EUR 1,778,033.00, together with appertaining amounts, on 2 March 2021. The claim represents damages that the plaintiff allegedly incurred in the period 1 September 2018 to 31 July 2020.
  • On 28 February, the Ljubljana District Court sent Telekom Slovenije a lawsuit filed by T-2, demanding, inter alia, that the court find that Telekom Slovenije does not have the right to request the submission of collateral in accordance with contracts concluded on the basis of sample offers for local access at a fixed location (WLA) and central access at a fixed location (WCA). The Company responded to that lawsuit by the prescribed deadline.

The matter was returned for a new hearing before the CPA.

THIRD QUARTER OF 2024

JULY

  • Together with partners in Trieste, Telekom Slovenije presented the results of a study that was carried out as part of the European 5G-SITACOR project, and focuses on exploiting the potential of 5G technology for developing infrastructure for improved safety in road traffic between Slovenia and Italy. The main objective was to assess the technical requirements for the comprehensive establishment of Mediterranean and Baltic-Adriatic road corridors, with particular emphasis on the cross-border sections between Friuli-Venezia Giulia (Italy) and Slovenia.
  • During this Olympic year we introduced the responsible 'Cheer Smart' initiative. Through that initiative and with the help of Olympic athletes, such as sports climber Janja Garnbret, volleyball player Tine Urnaut and track and field star Anita Horvat, we encouraged sportsmanship and cheering (including in the digital world). At the same time, we built on the message of the 'Enjoy Smart' platform, which raises awareness about the smart use of digital technologies.
  • ESG: Telekom Slovenije offered free and unlimited mobile data to all of its mobile subscribers who cheered at the Olympic Games in Paris.

The Company similarly supported fans attending the European Football Championships in Germany with unlimited mobile data.

AUGUST

Presales were possible via the Online Shop, while Telekom Slovenije is the only Slovenian operator that offers users the possibility to officially purchase Google Pixel 9, Google Pixel 9 Pro and Google Pixel 9 Pro XL mobile phones.

  • TSmedia: TSmedia's network of outdoor digital screens was joined this year by four new jumbo screens, the newest of which was set-up in Postojna in August.

TSmedia's screen network is the only digital network in Slovenia that offers advertisers national coverage and a nationwide presence.

SEPTEMBER

  • ESG: Telekom Slovenije can connect an additional 250,000 households to the fibre optic network in both urban centres and rural areas. The main advantages of fibre optic connections are reliability, safety, high internet speeds, improved picture and sound quality, and reduced latency. As the technology of the future, fibre optics are also more stable in the event of a lightning strike or power fluctuations. Stability, reliability and high connection speeds are maintained even at long distances from exchanges, which is crucial for the provision of high-quality services, particularly in rural areas and outside settlements.
  • In conjunction with leading providers, Telekom Slovenije has already integrated into its network an advanced technological solution that will soon provide users an even better experience when using smart watches and other wearable devices. With support for different manufacturers and models, including Apple, Google and Samsung smartwatches, users will be able to use a single number across multiple devices via an electronic SIM card (eSIM).
  • ESG: Telekom Slovenije is strengthening its role as the leading operator by investing in the network and developing user-friendly services. In the last ten years, it has invested more than EUR 680 million just in the development and maintenance of the network. Through the

continuous expansion, upgrading and modernisation of the network and the introduction of state-of-the-art technologies, the Company serves as the pillar of Slovenia's digital development. In the last year and a half, it has increased the capacity of the entire mobile network by more than 30% and increased the capacity of the 5G network threefold.

  • By setting up a new base station, Telekom Slovenije has improved coverage by the mobile signal in the Poljane Valley.
  • ESG: For the second year in a row, Telekom Slovenije organised a development-training programme for students from 16 to 18

September. That programme focused on 5th generation (5G) mobile technology and new technologies. It is free-of-charge and intended for students interested in contemporary telecommunications, future technological development and the functioning of the most advanced technologies in practice.

• TSmedia: According to data from MOSS, Siol.net recorded close to 817,000 unique visitors. This is the highest number of unique monthly users recorded this year, and means that 54.5% of all Slovenian web users visited Siol.net at least once in September.

7 CONDENSED INTERIM ACCOUNTING REPORT OF THE TELEKOM SLOVENIJE GROUP AND TELEKOM SLOVENIJE, D.D. FOR THE PERIOD JANUARY TO SEPTEMBER 2024

The condensed financial statements of the Telekom Slovenije Group and the condensed financial statements of the controlling company Telekom Slovenije, d.d. for the reported period and the comparable period last year were compiled in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU and in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act (ZGD).

The condensed financial statements for the period ending 30 September 2024 were compiled in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and must be read together with the financial statements and disclosures compiled for the 2023 financial year. The financial statements for the period January to September 2024 and for the comparative period January to September 2023 have not been audited, while the financial statements for the comparative period ending 31 December 2023 have been audited. The financial statements of the Group and Company were compiled under the assumption that both are going concerns. Operations are not seasonal.

Changes in accounting policies

The accounting policies used in the compilation of the interim condensed financial statements are the same as those applied in the compilation of the financial statements for the financial year ending 31 December 2023.

Use of significant estimates and judgements

The compilation of the financial statements requires of management certain estimates, assessments and assumptions that affect the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the statement of financial position date and the amount of revenues and expenses in the period ending on the statement of financial position date. Future events and their impact cannot be determined with certainty. Accounting assessments therefore apply a judgement subject to change taking into account new events, experiences and additional information, and as the result of changes in the business environment. Actual values may vary from estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which estimates are revised, and in all future years affected by such revisions.

Functional and presentation currency

The reporting currency of the Telekom Slovenije Group is the euro, which is also the functional and presentation currency of the controlling company Telekom Slovenije. All financial information is presented in thousands of euros, unless otherwise stated.

Segment reporting

Segment reporting is based on the internal reporting system used by management in the management of operations. The criterion for segment reporting is the registered office where an activity is performed. The Telekom Slovenije Group thus presents its operations in the following two segments:

Slovenia: this segment includes all Group companies registered in Slovenia, and primarily activities in the areas of fixed and mobile telephony services, the construction and maintenance of the telecommunications network, multimedia and internet services, and content and digital TV. The segment comprises the following companies: Telekom Slovenije, GVO, Avtenta, TSmedia, TSinpo, Optic-Tel, Infratel and Soline, as well as the Heart Foundation, which organises and collects donations, grants and other monetary and non-monetary contributions to achieve the foundation's charitable mission.

Other countries: this segment comprises other Group companies, including IPKO, SIOL Zagreb, SIOL Sarajevo, SIOL Podgorica, SIOL Skopje, SIOL Belgrade and SIOL Prishtina. This segment's main activity is the provision of telecommunication services.

Inter-segment sales were executed according to market terms. Intra-group transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process, and included in eliminations and adjustments.

The Group does not disclose finance income and expenses by segment, as the Group's financing is centralised at the level of the controlling company. Disclosures regarding revenues generated with external customers are described by type in the note 'Revenue'.

A net profit of EUR 25,587 thousand was achieved for the accounting period in the context of a net financial loss of EUR 7,640 thousand. As also explained in section 3.2 Business Highlights, operating profit and net profit are lower due to higher labour costs as the result of a change in the method for the interim calculation of business and work performance costs. The estimated proportionate annual amount is included in the results for the period January to September 2024. The aforementioned effects were recorded in previous years at the time of payment or in final annual results. We are thus normalising the effects of quarterly reporting.

7.3 Financial instruments and risk management

The financial risks to which the Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije are most exposed in their operations are credit risk, solvency risk and interest rate risk. Exposure to individual types of financial risks is assessed regularly. The appropriate measures to manage those risks are implemented based on an assessment of potential negative effects on financial stability.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss if a subscriber or contracting party fails to settle their obligations in full or fails to settle them at all.

The maximum exposure to credit risk equals the book value of financial assets.

TOTAL 234,336 246,335 231,813 262,713

The credit risk to which the Group and Telekom Slovenije are exposed derives primarily from default by subscribers (retail) and by operators (wholesale). The highest exposure to credit risk is seen in trade receivables. The latter amounted to EUR 182,846 thousand at the Group level as at 30 September 2024, an increase of EUR 3,115 thousand relative to the end of 2023. Telekom Slovenije's receivables make up the majority of the Group's trade and other receivables. Most receivables are unsecured. The Group's receivables are accounted for by a large number of individuals and legal entities. For operators outside Slovenia, turnover generally flows in both directions, which reduces the net credit exposure. We assess that there is no significant concentration of credit risk vis-à-vis a particular customer or economic sector, apart from some domestic operators. Telekom Slovenije has a higher credit risk with some domestic operators, which don't settle liabilities for wholesale services. Telekom Slovenije has initiated appropriate proceedings on court against these operators.

Procedures aimed at the management of receivables are implemented at Group companies and include the monitoring of business partners' credit ratings, the collateralisation of receivables, the monitoring of high-traffic subscribers and debt collection activities. Debt collection activities are carried out according to a valid reminder timetable and via specialised external service providers.

At Telekom Slovenije Group lever, we monitor credit risk in other areas of operations.

Credit risk is low in terms of maintaining funds on business account and in the form of deposits due to a stable banking system and the high liquidity of banks. As a result, expected credit losses have not been recorded for cash and cash equivalents and deposits.

Telekom Slovenije is exposed to credit risk arising from receivables from loans granted to subsidiaries. The Company regularly monitors and supervises the operations of its subsidiaries and the ability of those subsidiaries to repay loans. Expected credit losses have therefore not been recorded for those loans.

Solvency risk

The Telekom Slovenije Group regularly settles its obligations. The Group's solvency is the result of the active planning of cash flows, ensuring the appropriate maturities and the diversification of financial debt, the financing of Group companies, and the optimisation of working capital and cash. Liquidity risk at the Group level is managed by the controlling company, which plans and monitors subsidiaries' financing needs, and provides them the sources they require.

The majority of the Group's financial liabilities relate to three long-term syndicated loans in the total amount of EUR 227.5 million with associated interest, a long-term loan in the amount of EUR 98.1 million from the European Investment Bank with associated interest, and lease liabilities in the amount of EUR 83.8 million at the Group level and EUR 91.4 million at the Company level.

Telekom Slovenije did not have any loan instalments fall due for payment in the period January to September 2024.

The Group and Telekom Slovenije have raised short-term funding from banks to ensure sufficient liquidity. The liquidity reserve in the form of revolving loans and an overdraft facility on the business account in the total amount of EUR 85 million was not drawn down as at 30 September 2024.

Interest rate risk

Interest-rate risk is the risk of the negative impact of a change in market interest rates on the Group's operations. The exposure of the Group and Company to interest rate risk as at 30 September 2024 derives from a potential change in the EURIBOR reference interest rate. We hedge exposure to interest rate risk through:

  • the raising of loans with a fixed interest rate; and
  • the conclusion of interest rate swaps (IRS).

The Company concluded an interest-rate swap (IRS) in February 2024 for the purpose of mitigating interest-rate risk. As at 30 September 2024, 54% of loans bore a fixed or hedged interest rate. Other liabilities derive from long-term loans bearing variable interest rates.

Capital management

The objectives of the Group's and Company's capital management are to ensure capital adequacy, and thus long-term liquidity and financial stability, which ensures the best possible credit rating for the financing of the Group's and Company's operations and further development, and consequently the maximisation of shareholder value.

The Group and Company monitor changes in equity using the debt-to-equity and equity-to-total assets ratios. The Group's net financial debt includes loans received and other financial liabilities, less current financial assets and cash and cash equivalents. When adopting decisions relating to capital management, the Group also follows the financial covenants under loan agreements.
