BUSINESS REPORT

1 Performance highlights of the Luka Koper Group in January - March 2022

The beginning of 2022 saw an encouraging recovery of the global economy after Covid-19 pandemic, but in March 2022, a new shock resulting from the start of the war in Ukraine, followed in Ukraine. A direct exposure of the Luka Koper Group to Russia and Ukraine is relatively small, since the volume of throughput via the port of Koper destined to the markets Ukrainian and Russian markets, is insignificant. The throughput growth trend has been continuing also this year, and practically in all cargo groups, primarily in containers throughut, which presents additional challenges, especially as regards ensuring storage areas. This was additionally affected by slower containers turnover, which stay longer time in the port due to overcrowding of hinterland warehouses and irregular arrival of ships. The situation in the global maritime container shipping is still unstable. The ports around the world are facing ship delays, occupancy of storage areas, disruptions in the distribution, which has an impact on the whole logistic chain, on the land transport, which must adapt to this. At the end of April, The Federation of European Private Port Companies and terminals published the urge addressed to the European institutions to help the port activity to overcome this crisis, which was additionally worsened by the closure of the largest world port in Shanghai due to the Covid. The Federation forecasts that the closure of this Chinese port will affect the European ports for the next three or four months.

In the first quarter of 2022, Luka Koper Group did not perceive the negative consequences of the war and achieved good business results. Financial indicators of the Luka Koper Group achieved in the first quarter of 2022, were better than planned indicators and better than achieved ones in the first quarter of 2021. In the first quarter of 2022, the maritime throughput exceeded planned quantities by 10 percent, the throughput in 2021 by 18 percent and namely in all cargo groups. In March 2022, Luka Koper set a new monthly record in the container throughput when nearly 100 thousand TEU, container units, were transhipped. In 2022, the Luka Koper Group started thenimplementation of larger investments at the container terminal, which represent a new development cycle of this the most imporrtant strategic cargo group.

Within the general cargoes, the Luka Koper Group in Januar – March 2022 achieved 22 percent higher throughput in comparison with the comparable period last year. The maritime throughput within general cargoes was higher in the segment of steel products and caotchouc. 4 percent lower export of timber was recorded in the maritime throughput. However, the trend of containerisation of these goods is increasing, which is reflected in the increased throughput of containers and the increase of additional services of containers stuffing.

In the first quarter of 2022, the Liquid cargoes terminal achieved 67 percent higher throughput in comparison with the same period last year, generated by all cargo groups, including the modest start of the renewed throughput of the jet fuel.

The maritime throughput of dry and bulk cargoes in January – March 2022 increased by 39 percent in comparison with the equivalent period in 2021. The maritime throughput in the segment of dry bulk cargoes was by 7 percent higher, especially in the transhipment of soya. The throughput growth of road salt, industrial sal, fertilizers and scarp iron was recorded. The increased throughput in the cargo group of dry bulk cargoes was attributable to the additional quantities of iron ore and coal. The supplyst started from the Port of Koper also in the hinterland of remote ironworks.

In the first quarter of 2022, delays of ships arriving from Asia continued, which caused problems in the European ports and consequently deviations in regular land shipments for/from ports. Problems with ships delays resulted from increased quantities at the source in Asia and problems in major Asian ports to supply these quantities. The problems were further exacerbated by severaly days closure of some major Asian ports, due to the containment of COVID-19 outbreak. Despite the aggravated business environment, the maritime throughput of containers in TEU was 4 percent higher than in the equivalent period in 2021 and amounted to 268.142 TEU. In March 2022, the Luka Koper Group set an absolute monthly record in the throughput of containers. The record growth of throughput in the first quarter of 2022 resulted from the still ongoing positive growth of consumption of electronic products and other consumer products and partially, due to the resumption of the in the automotive industry.

In January – March 2022, 176.864 cars, which was 5 percent ahead on the equivalent period in 2021, mainly in the segment of electric vehicles. This year, car manufacturers are still facing serious semiconductors shortage and other automotive parts shortage, also as a result of the war in Ukraine, which still causes still certain

In the whole structure of the maritime throughput predominate containers, of which share decresed by 7 percentage points in comparison with 2021. Also the share of cars decreased by 1 percentage point.

6.1 Financial performance analysis of the Luka Koper Group

The performance of the Luka Koper Group in the first quarter of 2022 exceeded the results achieved in the first quarter of 2021, in transhipped quantities and financial items. With 18-percent increase of the maritime throughput in the first quarter of 2022 in comparison with 2021, the net revenue from sale increased by 23 percent resp. by EUR 13.4 million. Higher achieved revenue from sale was attributable to the increased volume of throughput, increased volume of additional services, rising prices, and above all higher revenue from warehouse fees due to the extended retention time of goods in warehouses.

Higher net revenue from sale had positive impact on the operating profit (EBIT), which in January – March 2022 exceeded the achieved EBIT in the comparable period of the previous year by 101 percent resp. by EUR 9.9 million.

8 Risk management

8.1 Explanatory note to the Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) outbreak

COVID-19 outbreak affected the global economy and logistics flows. In Slovenia on 12 March 2020, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia first declared the epidemic of COVID-19 which lasted till 1 June 2020, secondly was declared on 18 October and lasted till 15 June 2021. The Luka Koper Group appoinbted a working group, which from the beginni of the pandemic proposed the adoption of several measures for the protection of people and minimisation of the pandemic consequences. Thanks to the adopted measures, the risk is managed up to an acceptable level, nevertheless due to unpredictibable situations, it is closely monitored. The infections caused short-term absences of the employees, mainly in the first two months of 2022, which not resulted in major negative effects on the company's business pervormance. From March 2022 onwards, a significant decline in infections of employees in Luka Koper, d.d. was observed.

8.2 Impact of Russia-Ukraine conflict on the performance of the Luka Koper Group

Due to the start of the War in Ukraine the geopolitical situation in March 2022 worsened considerably and will undoubtedly affect the global economic developments in 2022. A direct exposure of the Sllevenian economy towards Russia and Ukraine is relatively small, since the volume of throughput via the Port of Koper, destined to Ukrainian and Russian market, is insignificant. The consequences of the conflict had a direct impact on higher energy and raw material prices, shrinking foreign demand, financial stress and decline in confidence. Potential impacts can also be expected in supply chains, which, given the existing problems, could lead to additional negative impacts on the production. Current trends in energy, raw materials and food markets, affected by the war in Ukraine, show additional global inflationary pressure. Unexpectedly high inflation and rising inflation risks had until the start of the war in Ukraine significantly increase the market expectations related to the faster withdrawal of non-standard measures of the monetary policy and a rise in key interest rates of the leading central banks 10 .

The Luka Koper Group estimates that the war in Ukraine may indirectly impact the Group's business performance in 2022. The war will affect supplying chains and therefore logistics flows, in which the company besides the perils sees also the opoportunities, also by rerouting certain goods which previously gravitated on the Baltic sea, on Adriatic ports and import of other cargo groups due in order to ensure the enrgy self-sufficiency of the EU countries. On the other side, the negative impact could be perceived as consequence of export restriction on export of certain cargo groups from Europe in order to ensure self-sufficiency. At this time, it is still difficult to predict which impact the war will have on these flows. The Luka Koper Group will also face the inflational pressures and thereby higher operating expenses, at the macroeconomic level the latter could result also in decline in demand. The Luka Koper Group has already been implementing a set of measures to manage these risks and opportunities. In the current situation, the company faces also the increased cyber risks, which are successfully managed within the comprehensive risk management system. The Luka Koper Group has no direct financial exposure to Russia, Ukraine and Belorus, but due to the developments in financial markets in the first quarter of 2022 the value of stock prices decreased in the Company / Group portfolio measured at fair value through equity.

8.3 Other risks

After the war outbreak in Ukraine, there is evidence a slowdown in the economic growth in the Euro zone, forecasts of international institutions for 2022 have deteriorated considerably in the last forecasts, but above all they significantly increased the risks for longer period of high inflation, which is expected to amount to 5.1 percent in 2022, under more severe scenario, it could even exceed 7 percent11 (Bank of Slovenia, Half-annual overview of economic and financial developments), whilst UMAR12 forecasts 5.4 inflation. Due to the rising of the global raw material prices (steel, iron) and bottlencks in the supply chains, also the prices of non-energy industrial goods are rising. As concerns the company, inflationary developments and expectations are reflected mainly in two areas – on the increase of material costs (fuel, electricity, labour and increase of the value of planned investments, both

for equipment and infrastructure. It is expected that energy prices and raw material prices will remain high for a long time.

The Group has been facing commercial risks, originating from highly competitive environment and the entry of shipping and logistic companies in the ownership of the enighbouring ports, which may affect the direction of a part of the throughput. Besides that, the neighbouring ports have been paying a lot of attention to the enhacing of competitiveness in rail connections. In recent years, specific storage capacities were developed in the vicinity ofvthe Port of Koper, where mostly the forwarding agencies have been providing CFS services. The latter can represent a strong competition, primarily in the segment of stuffing and unstuffing of containers. On 7 January 2021, the Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) completed the acquisition of 50.01 share of the company Piattaforma Logistica in the port of Trieste. The transhipment in the segment of general cargoes, RO-RO and containers will be carried out by the company HHLA PLT Italy. The Board of Directors of the Port Authority of Rijeka decided that the APM Terminals/Enna Logic, owned by the shipping company A.P. Moller – Maersk will be the concessionaire of the container terminal fort he next 50 years.

The main strategic risks originating from the external environment, remain the uncertainty about the completion of the construction of the second rail track and the obsolete, unsufficient capacity of the existing rail track, which may jeopardize further throughput growth also till the construction of the second rail track. In 2021, the working group, which started to implement actions towards the improvement of the IT support, implementation of the infrsatructure operations and organisational changes in the rail segment continues its work.

In 2022, Luka Koper, d. d., will continue the implementation of some investment projects, focused primarily on the increase of capacities of the Container terminal. On the session of 22 April 2022, the Supervisory Board considered and adopted several relevant resolutions related to the increase and construction of additional handling and storage capacities. In the most cases these are the investment at the container terminal, which represent a new development cycle of this most important strategic cargo group. The study of this project envisages EUR 248 million of investments till 2030 in the increase of the Container terminal to 1.75 milion TEU/yearly. At the same session, also the plan for the increase of port capacities destined to the transhipment and storage of general cargoes was endorsed by the Superviory Board. The construction of the dedicated warehouse for steel coils in the Pier II are is envisaged in the project.

24 Total throughput comprises maritime throughput, stuffing/unstuffing of containers and land throughput

In the first quarter of 2022, the target was not achieved. The absolute motor fuel consumption was 11.5 % higher in comparison with the same period in 2021 at 15.8 % higher maritime throughput. Higher specific consumption (by 2 % of the target value) resulted from the higher motor fuel consumption at the Container terminal and occupancy of the storage areas and therefore the use of alternative more dispersed storage areas of other terminals.

Formation of estimates and the related assumptions and uncertainties are disclosed in the notes to individual items.

Estimates, judgements and assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis. Actual results may differ from these situations, hence estimates and underlying assumptions are are reviewed on a regular basis. Changes in accounting estimates are recognised in the period for which the estimates are modified, or in the coming periods that are impacted by respective changes.

1. Risk management and change in fair value

Luka Koper, d. d.

As at 31 March 2022, 7.7 percent of the Company's assets were financial investments measured at fair value (at the end of the previous year 9.5 percent). The fair value risk associated with investments in securities is demonstrated through changes in stock market prices that affect the value of these assets and, consequently the potential gain on their disposal, whereas with investments in shares of other companies there is a risk for the sales value not to equal the value of the market transaction. This type of risk has been recognised with regard to investments in market securities of Slovenian companies and to investments in shares and interests.

As at 31 March 2022, the value of non-current investments at fair value amounted to EUR 46,837,471.

The sensitivity analysis of investments at fair value does not disclose in the books the financial investments at fair value classified in level 3 due to their irrelevance.

2. Management of interest rate risk

With respect to its liabilities structure, the Company/Group also faces interest rate risk as an unexpected growth in variable interest rates can have an adverse effect on the planned results.

Luka Koper, d. d.

As at 31 March 2O22, the share of financial liabilities (excluding other financial liabilities) decreased in the overall structure of the Company's liabilities from the initial 11.9 percent at the end of 2021 to 11.3 percent as at 31 March 2022. The effect of variable interest rate changes on future profit or loss after taxes is shown in the table below.

Possible interest rate fluctuations would consequently have an impact on 53.5 percent (the same as at 31 December 2021) of total borrowings.; the remaining 46.5 percent of borrowings were concluded with a fixed interest rate.

Sensitivity analysis of borrowings from banks in view of the variable interest rate fluctuations:

The analysis of financial liabilities sensitivity to changes in variable interest rates was based on the assumption of potential growth of interest rates of 15, 25, 50, 100 and 150 base points. As at 31 March 2022 the Company's borrowings not hedged against interest rate were subject to the movement of 3M Euribor.

In the last period, the value of Euribor has been growing significantly, but the value of the three-month Euribor, to which loans of the Company with a variable interest rate are tied, remains in the negative range. According to the European Central Bank's forecast for raising the key interest rate, followed by the movement of reference interest rates, can ve expected an additional growth in the value of Euribor in the coming periods, which may lead to an increase in interest expenses of the Company.

Luka Koper Group

As at 31 March 2022, the share of financial liabilities (excuding other financial liabilities) in the overall structure of Group's liabilities decreased from the initial 11.2 percent at the end of 2021 to 10.6 percent as at 31. March 2022. The effect of variable interest rates changes on future profit and losss after taxes is shown in the table below.

Possible interest rate fluctuations would consequently have an impact on 53.5 percent of all borrowings (the same as at 31 December 2021). The remaining 46.5 percent of borrowings were concluded with a fixed interest rate.

3. Management of liquidity risk

The liquidity risk is the risk that the company/Group will fail to settle its liabilities at maturity. The company/Group manages liquidity risk by regular planning of cash flows with diverse maturity, in such a way that is able to meet all due obligations at any time. Additional measures for preventing from delays in receivable collection include regular monitoring of payments and immediate response to any delay and charging penalty interest in accordance with the uniform policy of receivable management.

4. Management of currency risk

The risk of changes in foreign exchange rates arises from trade receivables denominated in US dollars (USD). In recent years, the Company/Group has succeeded in achieving significantly lower accrued income in US dollars to the extent that US dollars denominated receivables are negligible, based on which the Company/Group has opted not to hedge this item.

5. Management of credit risk

Management of the risk of default on the side of the counterparty or the credit risk has gained in importance in recent years. Customer deafults are being passed on to economic entities, much like a chain reaction, which significantly reduces the assessed probability of timely inflows and increases additional costs of financing the operation. Accordingly, the Company/ the Group has accelerated collection-related activities in the past years and more consistently monitored trade receivables past due.In case of customers, regarding whom the Company/Group detects late payments and inconsistency in observing adopted business agreements, and advance payment system is set up for all ordered services with the aim of avoiding the late payments. This area is positvely impacted by the specific structure of the Company's/Group's customers, who are predominantly major companies, freight forwarders and forwarding agents that have been the Company's/Group's business partners for a number of years.

Certain Company's/Group's receivables have been secured with collaterals, which are returned to the customers once all obligations have been settled or cooperation has been terminated. Investments include loans, which are secured with blank bills of exchange and other movable and immovable property.

As follows from the maturity structure of trade receivables as at 31 March 2022, compared to the structure as at 31 December 2021 (on page 46), no deterioration in customer payment discipline was observed in the Company/Group.

6. Management of risk relating to adequate capital structure

Having identified the optimal capital structure, the Company/Group has set a non-current strategic goal of maintaining the debtors' share within the liabilities side below 50 percent. As at 31 March 2022, the percentage in the Company was 27.6 percent, which was an increase of 0.1 percent compared to 31 December 2021, whereas in the Group 26.4 percent, which was also an increase of 0.1 percent in comparison with 31 December 2021.
