2. VISION, MISSION AND VALUES OF THE TELEKOM SLOVENIJE GROUP

2.1. Vision, mission and values

2.2. Key strategic objectives

The Telekom Slovenije Group implements its strategy in accordance with adopted strategic policies. The Strategic Business Plan is the core corporate document. Defined in that document through its mission, vision, values, business model, objectives and strategy are the Telekom Slovenije Group's 's future development and strategic policies. The document outlines the future business strategy of the Telekom Slovenije Group.

Expectations for 2023 are characterised by uncertainty in the economic environment, primarily in connection with conditions on the energy markets, and the continuation of the war in Ukraine and high inflation. The Telekom Slovenije Group expects uncertainty in the international environment to continue rising, but is still planning growth and development.

The Group drew up an ambitious business plan for 2023, the goal of which is to reverse the trend of recent years, and achieve growth in revenues and the number of users in all segments, and further strengthen its market shares. The Telekom Slovenije Group is and strives to be the first choice of users, while it provides the most advanced services and an excellent user experience in a superior network based on continuous development.

Strategic objectives of the Telekom Slovenije Group

Leader in user experience

The leading user experience is based on the best, most reliable and largest network, while we create that user experience in accordance with the latest trends and changing user habits. Through a superior user experience, we achieve short-term business objectives and strengthen our long-term strategic position to remain the first choice of users. Crucial in that regard are digital excellence, ensuring security, contactless operations and the dynamic adaptation to the needs and habits of the users of communication services.

Digitalisation of operations

We will improve the efficiency of operations through accelerated digitalisation. In the digital transformation process, we will digitalise key business processes involving users. This, in turn, will significantly improve the speed and efficiency of the Telekom Slovenije Group's operations, and also facilitate the improved competitiveness of the Group in the future.

Growth in ICT services

Growth in ICT services and solutions will be based on the existing superior LTE/4G network, and the opportunities offered by fifth

generation (5G) mobile networks. 5G technology will facilitate the development of smart industry and smart cities, as well as the introduction of virtual campus networks, which in turn will enable the continued digitalisation of various verticals, such as energy, transportation, logistics, industry, smart cities, healthcare, and protection and rescue (public safety). The Telekom Slovenije Group will ensure the digitalisation of society as a whole on that basis. We will achieve overall growth through organic growth and the consolidation of the Slovenian ICT market.

Stabilisation of the level of revenues from the core activity in Slovenia

The basic telecommunications market is stagnating in Slovenia, while Telekom Slovenije is under additional pressure from regulatory bodies. We will preserve revenues through accelerated digitalisation and the development of digital services, the further development of the network, the development of services based on 5G technology, successful cooperation with regulators, and above all the best user experience.

Consolidation on individual markets

The European telecommunications market is experiencing the consolidation of the sector, the merging of operators and a changing portfolio of services on the one hand, and the entry of new competitors on the ICT market on the other hand, which will further impact the operations of operators. The Telekom Slovenije Group is actively involved in consolidation processes on the markets where it operates.

Optimal employee structure The Telekom Slovenije Group will continue to ensure the optimal employee structure, taking into account the needs of work processes at individual companies. We are optimising the employee structure through the strategic planning of needs for staff, and the appropriate organisational structure and job classification. We are building the employer brand through an effective remuneration system, and the development of knowledge and competences.

Financial stability and the optimisation of all types of costs

We are implementing activities that facilitate the effective management of liquidity, and ensure a high level of financial stability and the optimal level of borrowing. We continuously optimise all types of costs in connection with the performance of individual processes and the provision of services.

Creating a sustainable future

The Group actively identifies opportunities where it can contribute to the development of the social and economic environment in which it operates, through its expertise, and financial and other resources. The principles of sustainable development are built into our operations, products, services and content, while we also responsibly manage the economic, social and environmental impacts of our operations.

  • Sales revenue totalled EUR 334.1 million, an increase of 6% relative to the same period in 2022. Revenues were up in the mobile segment of the end-user market primarily due to an increased number of subscribers and prepaid users at IPKO in Kosovo, which is the result of intensive marketing activities to attract new customers, and higher revenues from mobile subscribers and revenues from mobile merchandise at Telekom Slovenije. Revenues on the wholesale market were also up. Telekom Slovenije is recording growth in the areas of financial services, eHealth, insurance services, and IT services and merchandise. Higher revenues were also achieved on the market by all subsidiaries.

3.7. Risk management

Key risks are presented below by Telekom Slovenije Group company.

TELEKOM SLOVENIJE

Strategic risks

• On the market, Telekom Slovenije faces stiff competition in terms of pricing, services and the infrastructure, regulatory requirements, the changing needs and price-sensitivity of users and the migration of voice traffic to OTT platforms. Users demand high-quality and more extensive services at lower prices. The management of such risks requires a targeted market approach, the constant introduction of innovations, and the active monitoring of the expectations of users and market trends. The focus is on ensuring high quality and a broad range of services for different user segments, and the continuous adaptation of solutions and the portfolio. The optimisation and development of the product portfolio are ongoing processes. The mobile and fixed packages are being updated as a response to the needs of users. An active communication campaign is in progress to encourage the replacement of older Netgem set-top boxes with modern NEO Smartboxes for an even better user experience. The use of advanced mobile payment options is encouraged. Intensive activities are being carried out in the sale of cyber security, IT support, eCare and telemedicine services, and comprehensive ICT solutions tailored to the needs of business users, while strategic partnerships are being formed for innovative solutions. Programmes are on-going to maintain subscribers and digitalise processes for users (digital communication, simple IT architecture and technology). A new CRM system is being implemented for business users and for the needs of the wholesale market. New longerterm agreements are being concluded and existing agreements are being renewed with international operators with an agreed volume of telephone traffic. The wholesale portfolio is being adapted in accordance with regulatory obligations and taking into account market needs. Additional international redundant connections have been established to increase cyber security.

Financial risks

  • Telekom Slovenije closely monitors changes in the financial environment and the financial risks to which it is exposed in its operations.
  • Liquidity risk is managed through the management and planning of cash flows,

through the optimisation of working capital, by ensuring the appropriate maturities of financial debt, and through short-term credit lines that are regularly rolled over taking into account needs, and the use of liquid assets within the Group.

  • The Company manages credit risk through the active monitoring of credit exposure to customers, and the operations and credit ratings thereof, and by limiting maximum allowable exposures. It further hedges against the risk of the deteriorating financial position of customers through credit insurance and by regularly monitoring the appropriateness thereof. Monitoring of the settlement of customers' contractual obligations and the active recovery of past-due debt are elements of comprehensive credit risk management.
  • The risk of higher interest rates is managed by ensuring the appropriate structure of financial debt that bears a fixed or variable interest rate. At the level of the Group and Company, 28.6% of financial debt from loans raised bears a fixed interest rate.

Regulatory and compliance-related risks

  • In its operations, Telekom Slovenije complies 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 risk associated with personal data protection derives from the large scope and categories of personal data that Telekom Slovenije processes as the leading operator in Slovenia. Key in that respect is the application of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR) and sectoral legislation, in particular the Electronic Communications Act (ZEKom-1 and the new ZEKom-2). The GDPR 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. The new Personal Data Protection Act (ZVOP-2) entered into force on 26 January 2023. Under that act, the Information Commissioner will carry out supervision in accordance with the GDPR, while the new act also brought updated requirements for specific areas of personal data processing. Telekom Slovenije ensures compliance through the continuous monitoring, updating and improvement of personal data protection processes and internal controls. Accordingly, it is monitoring the drafting of other regulations in the area of personal data protection at the national and EU levels (where the e-privacy regulation is being coordinated by EU bodies and the draft Data Act is under consideration) that will impact the processing of data during the provision of the Company's services.

Operational risks

• Telekom Slovenije gives a great deal of attention to managing ICT-related operational risks. These risks are managed through the control and development of subsystems, by improving operational efficiency and through employee training, all while supporting new business opportunities. The Company continuously optimises the network, data centres and other technical infrastructure taking into account the development of the market and technologies. The use of standard (cloud) building blocks in the network and information systems is increasing. The capacity of equipment is being upgraded and the number of licences increased in the mobile network in line with growth in traffic. Multiple activities are in progress to replace communication equipment in the MPLS backbone network and to upgrade the mobile packet network. Modern network technology (Software Defined Access), which includes the 'zero trust' principle of cyber security and advanced user authentication and authorisation techniques, is being introduced at an accelerated rate in the internal business network. In the area of ICT security, the Company continuously develops systems for monitoring technologies and anomalies in the infrastructure and ICT services, and conducts internal and external penetration testing. Testing of the vulnerability of systems is carried out in the scope of the Cyber Security Operation Centre, which operates 365/24/7. Risks are managed through the implementation of the security policy, by identifying security threats and vulnerabilities, and by spreading the security culture. Investments are made continuously in the development of the capacities (people, processes and

technologies) required to improve cyber resilience. The network (fixed and mobile) is continuously upgraded with the aim of preventing abuse both in the national network and in roaming.

  • The Company continuously improves IT processes and mechanisms to ensure the smooth functioning of systems and applications, and makes technological upgrades in line with trends and needs.
  • It continuously monitors market electricity prices and adapts purchasing models.
  • Telekom Slovenije also faces risks associated with retaining employees, as it is increasingly difficult to recruit and retain staff with specific expertise due to labour market conditions and increased demand for professionally qualified personnel. The Company responds 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. The Company actively works with various educational institutions and implements numerous activities to build the employer brand with the aim of new and diverse candidates.
  • The Company manages risks associated with procurement procedures through a centralised procurement function and a standard process in connection with those procedures. In that context, it ensures regular communication with suppliers and the continuous monitoring of the availability of goods and the timeliness of deliveries. It also ensures the necessary safety stocks of strategic materials, searches for alternative suppliers and employs a strategy of multiple suppliers. The Company monitors compliance with contractual provisions.
  • There is still uncertainty in specific areas due to the war in Ukraine, which could impact the availability of energy products and the prices thereof, and cause disruptions in the supply chain. For this reason, the Company is adapting electricity purchasing models and pursuing a strategy of several suppliers. The changing conditions are also increasing risks in the area of cyber security.

Risks relating to sustainability aspects of operations

  • The sustainability aspects of operations (ESG) are integrated into the operations of Telekom Slovenije and Group companies.
  • The Company regularly monitors impacts and assesses risks on that basis. Risk management measures primarily relate to further efforts

aimed at more efficient energy consumption and the reduction of emissions.

  • The digital and green transitions are integrated into the strategy of the Company and Group, which is based on the superior quality of the network and the most advanced ICT services and solutions, all of which contributes to the mitigation of climate and environmental changes and the adaptation to the impacts thereof, and also facilitates energy savings.
  • Telekom Slovenije regularly briefs stakeholders and provides information regarding activities relating to its socially responsible and sustainable conduct.

AVTENTA

• Changing market conditions, including new technologies and new business models, affect risks in connection with achieving planned revenues. Those risks are managed through new sales opportunities and the development of digital solutions. The company adapts to new business models (S4/Hana, Cloud, etc.), technologies and solutions on the market.

GVO

• Contributing to risks in connection with the achievement of expected revenues is the declining scope of public investments in the infrastructure and thus a lack of public tenders for investment construction activities. These risks are managed through the search for new opportunities on the domestic and foreign markets, where the company acts as the primary contractor or subcontractor on major projects.

SOLINE

• Salt production depends on the weather. Unfortunately, there is no insurance policy available that covers the risk of unfavourable weather conditions.

TSinpo

• Risks in connection with the achievement of planned sales of cardboard products are managed through active sales and the start-up of new automated line of cardboard packaging machines.

TSmedia

• Risks in connection with achieving planned revenues are managed through new content projects and the expansion of the outdoor jumbo network, and the search for new opportunities and new sales campaigns, which include the preparation of the creative basis for advertisements for larger orders. New channels and segments are being added in the area of targeted TV advertising.

IPKO

  • The company responds to the risk of the loss of users and revenues in the segment of fixed services due to aggressive competition through special promotional offers and the appropriate market approaches.
  • Risks associated with the loss of premium fixed segment customers due to the offer of programme content are managed through advertising and the promotion of new packages to maintain users, including the further enhancement of content and the search for alternative approaches.
  • Risks in connection with achieving revenues from business users are managed via campaigns to attract new users, and through cross-selling and additional sales.
  • There is risk in connection with maintaining growth in the number of subscribers in the mobile segment. The company is responding to that risk with promotional offers and through the appropriate market approaches.
  • The risk of additional investments due to regulatory requirements and the demands of the business environment relating to the shift from an aerial to an underground infrastructure is managed by coordinating with the Kosovo Energy Distribution Services (KEDS), local communities and other operators. The regulatory agency (RAEPC) is informed about potential negative impacts on the functioning of telecommunication services.
  • Risks in connection with non-standard IT are managed through the continuation of the BSS transformation programme and the consolidation of processes.
  • The acquisition of a new location for disaster recovery purposes is in progress to ensure business continuity.
  • The company negotiates and communicates with all stakeholders in connection with the risk associated with the payment of copyright fees and fees for the transmission of programmes via the cable network.
  • There is a risk of an additional reduction in the prices of call termination from countries of the Western Balkans, which will affect the company's revenues.
  • The migration of citizens affects market potential, growth in the number of subscribers and market share. That risk is managed through campaigns adapted to business and residential users.
  • Risks exist in connection with recruiting and retaining competent employees and higher labour costs. The company implements various activities to retain employees.
  • With respect to risks in connection with legislative changes and the interpretation

thereof, the company expects that the new public procurement act will be in line with EU directives.

  • Security conditions in the north of Kosovo impact the return of expatriates, which in turn could affect the achievement of planned revenues in this segment. Expanding coverage in this part of the country, which is being demanded by the Ministry of the Interior, also comes with certain risks.
  • The more rapid implementation of 5G technology by the competition could threaten the company's leading position on the market. For this reason, the company is preparing intensively for the rapid introduction of 5G.

6. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE

THIRD QUARTER OF 2023

• On the night from 3 to 4 August a large part of Slovenia was hit by catastrophic flooding. In consequence of this Telekom Slovenije immediately activated the Business Recovery Team (BRT), in line with the Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) which the company has established to respond to emergencies and which is certified under standard ISO/IEC 22301. The BRT was activated for the purpose of comprehensive implementation, planning and monitoring of activities involved in the fastest possible restoration of the network and services in affected areas, along with other activities on the corporate level.

Communications were cut in affected areas mainly due to electric power outages. Where possible, technicians from Telekom Slovenije and the GVO company worked to remedy the situation in the field using generators, which ensured the functioning of base stations and the mobile network. Disruptions were also caused by collapsed bridges and damaged road and other infrastructure through which the communication links of the main optic network are routed. At the time of peak impacts the operation of around 40 base stations was disrupted (out of a total of over 1,500), which affected 9% of the geographical area and 6% of the population; the peak impacts affected 12,000 landline connections. Telekom Slovenije in cooperation with GVO restored mobile network signals in the affected areas in the shortest possible time. On the evening of 5 August 1.8% of the population still had no mobile signal, on the morning of 7 August this fell to 0.2% of the population, and by 8 August the impact had been limited to 0.1% of the geographical area and 0.02% of the population. Some connections have been set up on a temporary basis and in the days ahead these will be restored on a permanent footing along with other infrastructure.

On Monday, 7 August, Telekom Slovenije made it possible for A1's users to use its mobile signal, and to make calls and send text messages in its network in the Koroška region.

To make communications easier, Telekom Slovenije has provided 30 days of unlimited mobile data transfer to all of its subscribers in affected areas and to all of those who are helping in the field.

7. CONDENSED INTERIM ACCOUNTING REPORT OF THE TELEKOM SLOVENIJE GROUP AND TELEKOM SLOVENIJE FOR THE PERIOD JANUARY TO JUNE 2023

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 June 2023 were compiled in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and must be read together with the financial statements and disclosures compiled for the 2022 financial year. The financial statements for the period January to June 2023 and for the comparative period January to June 2022 have not been audited, while the financial statements for the comparative period ending 31 December 2022 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 2022.

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.

Aid to companies due to high energy prices in 2023

Within the Telekom Slovenije Group, Telekom Slovenije and GVO received state aid in accordance with the Act on Aid to the Economy to Mitigate the Impact of the Energy Crisis (ZPGOPEK) in the period January to June 2023, as follows:

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, Soline, TSinpo, Optic-Tel and Infratel, 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, SIOL Prishtina and GVO Telekommunikation GmbH. 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'.

The accounting policies that apply to segments are the same as those that apply to the Group.

The sales revenue of the Telekom Slovenije Group amounted to EUR 334.1 million in the period January–June 2023, an increase of EUR 20 million relative to the same period in 2022.

Revenues were higher in the mobile segment of the end-user market, primarily on account of higher subscriber revenues and higher revenues from mobile merchandise at Telekom Slovenije.

Revenues in the fixed segment were up primarily due to higher sales of IT merchandise and services at Telekom Slovenije, despite a drop in revenues from traditional voice telephony, which is the result of the declining number of traditional connections and their replacement by mobile and IP telephony.

Revenues from additional services include revenues from financial services, eHealth services and insurance. All revenue categories have recorded growth in 2023.

Growth was also recorded in revenues from the wholesale market.

Revenues on the wholesale market were up relative to the same period in 2022, primarily due to higher revenues from domestic wholesale services.

Other operating income and revenues from merchandise were up relative to the same period in 2022 due to higher revenues generated by Slovenian subsidiaries on the market and higher revenues from the sale of ecommerce services at Telekom Slovenije.

The Telekom Slovenije Group generated revenues from leases in the amount of EUR 6,505 thousand in the period January to June 2023, compared with EUR 5,267 thousand during the same period last year.

Level 1: determination of fair value directly by referencing the official published price on an active market; Level 2: other models used to determine fair value based on assumptions and material impact on fair value in line with observed current market transactions with the same instruments either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: other models used to determine fair value based on assumptions and material impact on fair value that are not in line with observed current market transactions with the same instruments and investments.

The table below only includes information regarding classification to the fair value hierarchy for assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value and for which fair value is disclosed.

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, while 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.

The main 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 170,772 thousand as at 30 June 2023, an increase of EUR 366 thousand relative to the end of 2022. 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. Its largest customers are operators, where turnover generally flows in both directions, which reduces net credit exposure. We assess that there is no significant concentration of credit risk vis-à-vis a particular customer or economic sector.

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. The recovery procedure is conducted according to a pre-defined timeline (reminders and disconnection) and through specialised outsourced service providers. Telekom Slovenije requires the prior authorisation of an individual customer for concluding and changing subscription relationships, and for purchasing goods with deferred payment. As an additional measure for managing credit risk, larger Group companies have implemented systems to prevent fraud, i.e. a Fraud Management System (FMS). Telekom Slovenije, which has mostly post-paid customers, also has in place a Credit Management System (CMS).

As a result of procedures introduced for managing receivables, credit risk is assessed as manageable.

The Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije also monitor credit risk in other areas of operations. Bank balances are allocated according to the principles of minimising risks and achieving the appropriate diversification by banks. Concentration risk is thus low. Credit risk is low as, due to the stability of the banking system and high liquidity of banks, there is no major risk in terms of bank balances. Thus, no expected credit

losses have been recorded for cash and cash equivalents, as such losses are deemed insignificant given the dispersion of cash across multiple banks.

The Group is also exposed to risks associated with receivables arising from loans to employees and investments in short-term deposits. Lending risk is low, as loan repayments are mostly settled through payroll, while risks in connection with deposits are managed by monitoring the credit ratings of individual banks. No expected credit losses have been recorded for the aforementioned investments, as the latter are deemed insignificant with regard to total assets.

Telekom Slovenije is exposed to credit risk arising from receivables from loans granted to subsidiaries. The Company did not create impairments of the aforementioned receivables during the first half of 2023. The Company regularly monitors and supervises the operations of its subsidiaries and their ability to repay loans, and thus further mitigates the related credit risk.

Solvency risk

The Telekom Slovenije Group continuously settles its liabilities. The Group's solvency is the result of the active planning and management of cash flows, ensuring the appropriate maturities and the diversification of financial debt, financing within the Group, 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 two long-term syndicated loans in the total amount of EUR 250 million, a long-term loan in the amount of EUR 100 million from the European Investment Bank, and lease liabilities in the amount of EUR 72.9 million at the Group level and EUR 72.5 million at the Company level. The Group and Company regularly repay their liabilities from financing.

Telekom Slovenije repaid long-term loans in the total amount of EUR 20.1 million during the first half of 2023.

For the purpose of ensuring short-term liquidity, the Group and Company have open short-term credit lines at banks that are rolled over taking into account envisaged needs. Total liquidity reserves in the form of approved but undrawn short-term revolving credit lines and overdraft facilities at banks amounted to EUR 57 million as at 30 June 2023.

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 June 2023 derives from a potential change in the EURIBOR reference interest rate.

Liabilities from loans raised with variable interest rates tied to the 6-month EURIBOR accounted for 71% of the financial liabilities of the Group and Company1 as at 30 June 2023. Other liabilities derive from long-term loans bearing fixed interest rates.

The Group and Company had an interest-rate swap in the amount of 50% on one of three loan tranches that fell due for payment on 31 March 2023 with the aim of partially hedging exposure to interest rate risk as the result of a long-term syndicated loan. By hedging interest-rate exposure through the use of an interest-rate swap (IRS), the Group and Company partially hedge future cash flows against the risk of rising interest rates.

Capital management

The objectives of the Group's and Company's capital management are capital adequacy and thus long-term liquidity, as well as financial stability, which ensures the best possible credit rating for the further financing of the Group's and Company's operations and 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.
