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

2.1. Vision, mission and values

2.2. Key strategic objectives

The Strategic Business Plan for the period 2022 to 2026 is a core corporate document in which the strategic objectives and future development of the Telekom Slovenije Group are defined through its mission, vision, values and strategic policies. The Telekom Slovenije Group is implementing its established strategy in 2022 in accordance with adopted strategic policies. The strategic business plan is updated every year taking into account the conditions in the sector and across the globe.

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

Key objectives of the Telekom Slovenije Group for 2022

Operating revenues: EUR 660.6 million
EBITDA: EUR 211.2 million
Net profit: EUR 27.9 million
Investments: EUR 203.1 million

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.

3. TELEKOM SLOVENIJE GROUP

3.1. Markets and companies of the Telekom Slovenije Group

The Telekom Slovenije Group comprises the controlling company Telekom Slovenije and its subsidiaries. The composition of the Telekom Slovenije Group and participating interests as at 30 September 2022 are presented in the picture below.

The detailed composition of the Telekom Slovenije Group is presented on the website https://www.telekom.si/opodjetju/skupina-telekom-slovenije/odvisne-druzbe.

Situation as at 30 September 2022

There were no changes in the composition of the Telekom Slovenije Group in the period January to September 2022.

Telekom Slovenije is the founder of the Heart Foundation, the aim of which is to help the children of employees of Slovenian Telekom Slovenije Group companies who have lost a parent or who are seriously ill. The majority of the foundation's funds are contributed by the employees of Slovenian Telekom Slovenije Group companies.

3.2. Operating highlights

The Telekom Slovenije Group achieved the following in the period January to September 2022:

  • The Telekom Slovenije Group generated EUR 490.3 million in operating revenues in the period January to September 2022.
  • Sales revenue totalled EUR 485.5 million, similar to the level generated in the same period in 2021. Revenues from the mobile segment of the end-user market were up primarily due to the higher number of subscribers and prepaid users in Kosovo as the result of intense activities to attract new users. Revenues on the wholesale market were also up, primarily on account of higher revenues from international voice services in Kosovo and higher revenues from domestic wholesale services in Slovenia. Telekom Slovenije recorded growth in revenues from financial, eHealth and insurance services. The majority of subsidiaries achieved higher revenues on the market. Revenues from the fixed segment of the end-user market were down primarily due to the declining number of traditional voice telephony connections. Telekom Slovenije halted the sale of electricity to end customers, effective 1 January 2022, which is reflected in sales revenues.
  • The Telekom Slovenije Group's operating expenses totalled EUR 439.2 million, a decrease of 1% relative to the same period in 2021.
  • Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to EUR 51.1 million over the first nine months of this year, an increase of 8% relative to the same period last year.
  • Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) totalled EUR 174.8 million at the Telekom Slovenije Group level, an increase of EUR 0.8 million relative to the same period in 2021. Had energy prices remained at the 2021 level, EBITDA would have been up 3% relative to the same period in 2021. The EBITDA margin (i.e. EBITDA as a proportion of sales revenue) was 36.0% at the Group level.
  • Following the calculation of income tax (including deferred taxes), the Telekom Slovenije Group generated a net profit of EUR 39.0 million during the first nine months of 2022, an increase of EUR 3.1 million or 9% relative to the same period in 2021.

Impact of the war in Ukraine on operations

The Telekom Slovenije Group's operations are not directly linked to the Russian and Ukrainian markets. For this reason, we currently assess that the war in Ukraine will not have any significant direct impact on the Group's cash flows and financial sources. We do, however, feel indirect effects such as rising energy prices. In addition, the Group is exposed to specific risks in the supply chain, as there may be shortages of certain materials for the manufacture of devices and other technical products, which may also result in delivery delays or higher prices. We are monitoring the situation closely and will continue to do so in the future, and will adapt activities as required. The changing global conditions increase risks in the area of cyber security. Our activities are therefore focused on ensuring the highest level of security, reliability and confidence, and on the management of associated risks. The Cyber Security Operation Centre closely monitors security events 24/7, while we analyse and assess information from different sources regarding potential threats. At the global level, we are working with various organisations and adopting additional measures to increase the security of internal services and the services we provide to subscribers. The Group is thus ready at all times to respond to cyber threats.

3.7. Risk management

Key risks are presented below by Telekom Slovenije Group company.

TELEKOM SLOVENIJE

Strategic risks

On the market, Telekom Slovenije faces competition, regulatory effects, price-sensitive users, the migration of voice traffic to OTT platforms and the introduction of new technologies. Users demand high-quality and more extensive services at lower prices. The Slovenian market is saturated, which means there is little manoeuvring room for attracting new users. The management of such risks requires the regular implementation of activities to ensure competitiveness, control over regulatory measures, a targeted and active market approach, the provision of high-quality and readily available services, the continuous adaptation of business solutions and the portfolio, and the constant introduction of the latest developments for specific groups and segments of users. An increasing number of processes are digitalised and the proportion of purchases carried out via digital channels is also growing. The Company is thus active on social networks. As part of the optimisation of the product portfolio, certain BOX models are being discontinued, while the transition to NEO Smartboxes is being promoted. Fixed packages are being updated to include higher internet speeds and improve the user experience. Intensive activities are in progress to promote the sale of cyber security, IT support, eCare and telemedicine services, and comprehensive ICT solutions tailored to the needs of business customers. A programme is being implemented to maintain subscribers, while the portal for managing services for business users is being expanded and additional functionalities are being introduced for the more user-friendly arrangement and overview of services on that portal.

Financial risks

  • Telekom Slovenije actively monitors the dynamics of the financial environment and other business factors, with the aim of appropriately managing credit, liquidity, interest-rate and currency risks.
  • 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 the needs for financing within the Group. For the purpose of financing the expansion and upgrading of the fibre optic access network, the Company signed a long-term loan agreement

with the European Investment Bank. Funds from that loan are being drawn down gradually and will be drawn down in full by the end of 2022.

  • Telekom Slovenije manages credit risk through the active monitoring of the operations of customers and their credit ratings, and by limiting maximum allowable exposures. The Company 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 contractual obligations and the active recovery of past-due debt are also elements of the systematic credit risk management tool. The Company regularly monitors credit exposure to customers.
  • It also hedges against interest-rate risk by concluding interest-rate swaps. Fixed or hedged interest rates account for 34.4% of interest-bearing financial liabilities at the Telekom Slovenije level.
  • Telekom Slovenije manages credit risk in connection with receivables from loans to subsidiaries by including various collateral instruments in loan agreements, while it regularly monitors the operations and level of exposure to subsidiaries.

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. Regulatory risks are managed through organisational and procedural measures in the Company's operations, 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.
  • On 28 September 2022, the National Assembly approved the new Electronic Communications Act (ZEKom-2), which transposed the European Electronic Communications Code (EECC).
  • Telekom Slovenije was deemed an operator with significant market power on relevant markets 1 'Wholesale local access at a fixed location' and 3b 'Wholesale central access at a fixed location for mass-market products' under decisions issued by the AKOS on 25 July 2022. The AKOS imposed on Telekom Slovenije the

obligations to grant operator access, to ensure equal treatment and transparency, to ensure price control and cost accounting, and to ensure separate accounting records. On 1 August 2022, Telekom Slovenije received a supplementary decision on market 3b, which defines a transitional period for the entry into force of the full deregulation of part of that market (sub-market A).

  • On 31 March 2022, the AKOS published the regulatory predictability strategy on the electronic communications market for the period 2022 to 2024.
  • At the European level, the Digital Services Act (DSA) package is currently the subject of public parliamentary proceedings. That package includes proposed new and amended rules for the strengthening of the Single Market for digital services.
  • 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 Telekom Slovenije in individual areas of operations. Telekom Slovenije ensures compliance through the continuous monitoring, updating and improvement of personal data processing and internal control processes for personal data protection. Currently subject to debate is a draft of the new Personal Data Protection Act (ZVOP-2), which the government sent to the National Assembly on 14 July 2022. To that end, Telekom Slovenije is involved in the drafting of comments and suggestions in the scope of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia and other sectoral associations. Accordingly, the Company is monitoring the drafting of other regulations in the area of personal data protection at the national level (e.g. the ZEISZ) and EU level (where the e-privacy regulation is being coordinated by EU bodies and the Data Act is being drafted) that will impact the processing of data during the provision of the Company's services.

In accordance with the requirements of the new Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Act (ZPPDFT-2) and Banka Slovenije's new guidelines for assessing the associated risks, Telekom Slovenije is adapting money laundering prevention processes and measures during the interim period.

Operational risks

  • Telekom Slovenije gives a great deal of attention to managing ICT-related operational risks. These risks are controlled through the management and development of sub-systems, and by improving operational efficiency, processes and staff, while supporting new business opportunities. The Company integrated into its ICT environment advanced tools to protect against DDoS attacks and a SOAR (security orchestration, automation and response) system, which facilitates the automated correlation of security events and automated responses to them. The Company implemented advanced multi-factor authentication and SSL inspection systems in its information system. It is continuing to upgrade equipment capacities and the number of licenses in the mobile packet core. Multiple activities are in progress to replace communication equipment in the MPLS backbone network and to upgrade the mobile packet network. Modern network technology (SDA), which is based on the 'zero trust' approach and advanced user authentication and authorisation techniques, is being introduced at an accelerated rate in the internal business network. Emphasis is being placed on internal training regarding information security and on spreading the security culture.
  • In the area of IT, the Company continuously improves processes and mechanisms for ensuring the continuous functioning of systems and applications, and is consolidating BSS and IT solutions for sales projects and target architecture solutions.
  • Telekom Slovenije also faces risks associated with retaining employees, as it is increasingly difficult to recruit highly qualified candidates and retain staff with crucial expertise due to labour market conditions and increased demand for professionally qualified personnel. The Company focuses on the implementation of individual development plans for key and perspective employees, encourages mentoring, cooperation and internal mobility, and implements other activities to motivate and retain employees with crucial expertise.
  • Telekom Slovenije manages risks in connection with procurement processes through a centralised procurement function. A portal is being developed for partners and suppliers.

Currently in progress are procurement procedures for the selection of a solution for the electronic signing of contracts. The Company communicates regularly with suppliers, continuously monitors the availability of goods and the timeliness of deliveries, searches for alternative suppliers and employs a strategy of two or more suppliers. The Company monitors compliance with contractual provisions.

Impact of the war in Ukraine

  • Telekom Slovenije's operations are not directly linked to the Russian and Ukrainian markets. For this reason, the Company assesses that the war will not have any significant direct impact on its cash flows and financial sources.
  • Activities and the retail market portfolio were adapted due to the impact of general price growth, while special attention is being given to specific user segments in order to ensure the stability of the portfolio.
  • The Company stopped forwarding international transit traffic with operators from the Russian Federation and Belarus. To that end, it regularly monitors telephone traffic with the aim of preventing fraud, and has entered into a bilateral agreement on the reduction of call termination prices in Ukraine and in Telekom Slovenije's network. Redundant connections were established to increase cyber security.
  • Due to unfavourable trends in market interest rates, the Company carefully monitors developments on the financial markets and hedges interest rates using derivatives.
  • The war is resulting in delays in the supply chain and rising prices of goods and services. The Company ensures higher buffer stocks of specific types of goods and backup equipment, searches for alternative suppliers and employs a strategy of multiple suppliers.
  • It is faced with higher prices of electricity and other energy products, and is thus monitoring the situation on the market and adapting electricity leasing models.
  • The changing conditions are increasing risks in the area of cyber security. The Company's activities thus focus on ensuring the highest level of security, reliability and confidence, and on the management of risks in this area. The Cyber Security Operation Centre closely monitors security, and analyses and assesses information from different sources regarding potential threats. Vulnerability and response tests are carried out regularly. Telekom Slovenije cooperates with various organisations and adopts additional measures to increase the security of internal services and the services provided to subscribers. The cyber threat response team is thus ready at all times to

respond to cyber threats.

TSmedia

  • Risks in connection with achieving planned revenues are managed through new content projects and the expansion of the outdoor jumbo network. New sales campaigns include the preparation of the creative basis for advertisements for larger orders.
  • Risks in connection with the war in Ukraine are resulting in delays and cancellations of advertising campaigns and projects due to the uncertainty of advertisers. The company is marketing additional advertising space, and introducing new advanced forms of advertising and exclusive leasing packages.

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 the achievement of revenues from business users are managed through campaigns to attract new business users, cross-selling campaigns and campaigns to achieve additional sales.
  • There is a risk that the company will fail to maintain the growth trend in the number of users in the mobile segment, which it strives to achieve through various market approaches.
  • There is also a risk of unfavourable conditions for the purchase of the frequencies that the company requires to provide broadband mobile services, as well as uncertainty regarding the timing of the allocation of those frequencies.
  • The risk of additional investments due to regulatory requirements relating to the shift from an aerial to an underground infrastructure is managed by coordinating with the Kosovo Energy Distribution Services (KEDS), municipalities and other operators. A draft agreement for the project has been prepared. The ARKEP (telecommunications regulator in

Kosovo) is being informed about the potential negative effects of the KEDS's activities on telecommunication services.

  • Risks in connection with non-standard IT are managed through a BSS architecture plan and the consolidation of processes. The BSS transformation programme continues.
  • The company negotiates with government authorities 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 the risk of a reduction in the prices of call termination from countries of the Western Balkans at the beginning of 2023, which will affect the company's revenues.
  • 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.
  • Risks in connection with the war in Ukraine are resulting in higher energy prices and potential disruptions and delays in the supply chain, higher prices of goods and services, falling revenues from network interconnections and roaming, and more rational spending by users. The company is strengthening security systems and the security culture for the secure provision of services and the protection of data due to cyber threats. It is also increasing inventory levels and searching for alternative supply sources.

Today, the data transfer speeds facilitated by that technology are significantly slower than those facilitated by more advanced and energy and technologically efficient fourth (LTE/4G) and fifth (5G) generation mobile technologies, which are used for 99% of mobile traffic in Telekom Slovenije's network. For this reason, the gradual halting of the use of 3G technology is an integral element of the Company's sustainable operations, and the technological and developmental optimisation of its mobile network.
  • Telekom Slovenije donated EUR 20,000 to the Slovenian Red Cross for the continued renovation, arrangement of living quarters and landscaping at the Debeli Rtič Youth Spa and Resort.

7. CONDENSED INTERIM ACCOUNTING REPORT OF THE TELEKOM SLOVENIJE GROUP AND TELEKOM SLOVENIJE, D.D. FOR THE PERIOD JANUARY TO SEPTEMBER 2022

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 2022 were compiled in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and must be read in conjunction with the financial statements and disclosures compiled for the 2021 financial year. The financial statements for the period January to September 2022 and for the comparative period January to September 2021 have not been audited, while the financial statements for the comparative period ending 31 December 2021 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 2021.

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.

On 1 January 2022, Telekom Slovenije amended the estimated useful life of DSLAM and MSAN equipment, and that of DC power systems. The useful life of DSLAM and MSAN equipment was five years prior to that change and is now seven years, while the useful life of DC power systems was seven years and is now 10 years. On account of technological development and the use of better materials, that equipment is subject to less load, is more energy efficient and consumes less electricity, which can be seen in its extended useful life. The impact of the change in useful life was a decrease in depreciation of EUR 803 thousand during the reporting period.

In accordance with ESMA recommendations, the Telekom Slovenije Group assessed the impact of events and circumstances in connection with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Group did not identify any direct impacts on its operations during the reporting period (see Section 3.7 Risk management for more information).

COVID-19 pandemic

In accordance with the Act Determining Intervention Measures to Contain the COVID-19 Epidemic and Mitigate its Consequences for Citizens and the Economy, the Telekom Slovenije Group took advantage of individual state aid measures in the period January to September 2022, as follows:

  • the following companies took advantage of the reimbursement of compensation for short-term absences from work of up to three days due to COVID-19 covered by the employer: Telekom Slovenije, GVO, Avtenta and TSmedia, in the total amount of EUR 9 thousand;
  • the following companies took advantage of the reimbursement of wage compensation for the period a worker did not perform their work due to force majeure: Telekom Slovenije, GVO, Avtenta, TSmedia and Soline, in the total amount of EUR 10 thousand;
  • the following companies took advantage of the reimbursement of compensation for the period of quarantine: Telekom Slovenije, GVO, TSinpo and Soline, in the total amount of EUR 23 thousand.

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, 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.

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 485,450 thousand in the period January to September 2022, a decrease of EUR 1,308 thousand relative to the same period in 2021.

Revenues from the mobile segment of the end-user market were up primarily due to the higher number of subscribers and prepaid users in Kosovo as the result of intense activities to attract new users.

Revenues were lower in the fixed segment of the end-user market, primarily due to a decline in revenues from traditional voice telephony, as the result of the falling number of traditional connections.

Revenues from additional services include revenues from financial services, energy, eHealth services and insurance. Growth was recorded in all of the aforementioned segments, except the energy supply segment. Revenues were lower in 2022 on account of the discontinuation of the supply of electricity to end-customers.

Revenues on the wholesale market were up relative to the same period in 2021, primarily due to higher revenues from international voice services in Kosovo and higher revenues from domestic wholesale services in Slovenia.

Other operating income and merchandise were up relative to the same period in 2021 due to higher revenues generated by subsidiaries on the market.

Revenues from leases

The Telekom Slovenije Group generated rental income in the amount of EUR 8,005 thousand in the period January to September 2022, compared with EUR 7,301 thousand during the same period last year.

Telekom Slovenije generated revenue from leases in the amount of EUR 8,620 thousand in that period, compared with EUR 7,895 thousand during the same period last year.

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 (liquidity) 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.

The main credit risk to which the Telekom Slovenije Group and Company 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 166,567 thousand as at 30 September 2022, an increase of EUR 371 thousand relative to the end of 2021. 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 credit risk concentration in relation to an individual client or sector.

Group companies have introduced procedures for managing receivables, which include monitoring business partners' credit rating, the collateralisation of receivables, the monitoring of the high turnover of subscribers and recovery. The recovery procedure is conducted according to a pre-defined timeline (reminders and disconnection) and through specialised outsourced service providers. Telekom Slovenije requires prior authorisation 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 postpaid 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.

Trade receivables within the Group are classified to the appropriate maturity buckets. Expected credit losses for receivables within the Group are taken into account at the same rate applied to other receivables.

Non-current trade receivables are outstanding in full.

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. The 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.

The Group is also exposed to risk in relation to receivables from loans to employees and to investments in short-term deposits. Lending risk is low, as these loan repayments are mostly settled through payroll, while risk in connection with deposits is managed by monitoring the credit ratings of individual banks.

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 their ability to repay loans, and thus further mitigates the related credit risk. It additionally manages the aforementioned risk using various collateral instruments in loan agreements, and regularly monitors the coverage of investments by collateral.

Solvency risk

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 financial liabilities of the Group and the Company as at 30 September 2022 relate to two long-term syndicated loans in the total amount of EUR 289.8 million, a long-term loan in the amount of EUR 60 million from the European Investment Bank, and lease liabilities in the amount of EUR 65.8 million at the Group level and EUR 73.9 million at the Company level. The Group and Company regularly repay their liabilities from financing.

For the purpose of ensuring a high level of liquidity, the Group has open short-term credit lines at banks that are rolled over taking into account envisaged needs. Liquidity reserves amounted to EUR 64 million at the end of September 2022, and took the form of approved but undrawn short-term revolving credit lines. Telekom Slovenije also has open revolving credit lines at subsidiaries, so that its total liquidity reserves in the form of undrawn credit lines amounted to EUR 71.4 million at the end of September. The Company intends to draw down the undrawn portion of a long-term loan from the European Investment Bank in the amount of EUR 40 million in December 2022.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk of the negative impact of a change in market interest rates on the operations of the Group and Company. Exposure to interest rate risk derives from a potential change in the EURIBOR reference interest rate linked to interest-sensitive liabilities.

Liabilities from loans raised with variable interest rates tied to the 6-month EURIBOR accounted for 68.9% of the Group's financial liabilities and 67.4% of the Company's financial liabilities as at 30 September 2022. The remaining liabilities are accounted for by loans raised and a lease with a fixed interest rate.

The Group and Company entered into an interest rate swap in the amount of 50% of one of three loan tranches with the aim of hedging exposure to interest rate risk as the result of a long-term syndicated loan. The amount of the secured principal stood at EUR 7.7 million as at 30 September 2022. By hedging interest rate exposure through the use of an interest rate swap (IRS), the Group and Company hedge future cash flows against the risk of rising interest rates. The principal is hedged against a rise in the reference interest rate if the latter is higher than or equal to zero. Fixed or hedged interest rates account for 32.9% of interest-bearing financial liabilities at the Group level and 34.4% at the Company level.

Capital management

The key objectives of the Group's and Company's capital management are capital adequacy and thus longterm 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 liabilities include borrowings, leases and other financial liabilities, less current investments and cash and cash equivalents. When adopting decisions relating to capital management, the Group also follows the financial covenants under loan agreements.
