To present its business performance, the Petrol Group also uses alternative performance measures (APMs) as defined by ESMA. In the report on the operations in the first three months of 2021, these also include the share of operating costs in adjusted gross profit, which is an indicator of cost efficiency, and working capital, which reflects the operational liquidity of the Petrol Group. The APMs we have chosen provide additional information about the Petrol Group's performance.

Alternative Calculation information Reasons for choosing
performance measure the measure
Adjusted gross profit Adjusted gross profit = Revenue from the
sale of merchandise and services – Cost of
goods sold
The Petrol Group has no

business performance.
EBITDA EBITDA = Operating profit without allowances
for operating receivables and impairment of
goodwill + Depreciation and amortisation

Until the end of 2020, the depreciation of
environmental fixed assets was excluded
because long-term deferred revenue had
been created for this purpose which was
reallocated each year to other operating
revenue at an amount corresponding to the
depreciation of environmental fixed assets. In
the period from January to March 2020, the
depreciation of environmental fixed assets
amounted to EUR 3.7 thousand.

BUSINESS REPORT

The Petrol Group's operations in the first three months of 2021

In 2020 the world faced a pandemic which, combined with strict health and safety measures, also had an impact on the operations of the Petrol Group. The Petrol Group responded to the crisis caused by the epidemic in a comprehensive manner. Initially, activities were focused on ensuring the continuity of operations in the changed circumstances and on identifying and managing risks. Further activities, however, had a long-term focus so that the Petrol Group could operate without interruption in a very different business environment.

Business environment

The Petrol Group operates in two highly competitive industries – energy and trade. Besides trends in the area of energy and commerce, the Group's operations are subject to several other and often interdependent factors, in particular changes in energy product prices and the US dollar exchange rate, which are a reflection of global economic trends. In 2021 the economic situation will be significantly affected by economic recovery following the pandemic, and this will in turn be reflected in petroleum prices. In addition, operations in the Petrol Group's markets are influenced to an important extent by local economic conditions (economic growth, inflation rate, growth in consumption and manufacturing) and measures taken by governments to regulate prices and the energy market. Another factor are measures taken by countries to contain the pandemic, as shown when it had first emerged.

The Covid-19 pandemic gave rise to an economic crisis, which was then translated into lower economic growth, consumption and production. The sectors most affected by the pandemic include aviation, public and individual transport, tourism and personal services.

In its projections published in the World Economic Outlook at the beginning of April 2021, the International Monetary Fund assessed the impact of the pandemic on the global economy. Following the significant decline in economic activity in 2020, the economy is expected to recover in 2021, with considerable uncertainty still existing as regards the course of the pandemic in the future.

Figure 17: Impact of the pandemic on GDP

To mitigate the negative effects of the epidemic, comprehensive packages of measures were adopted at the national level and by the ECB and the European Commission aimed at alleviating the loss of revenue of the economy and the general population, providing liquidity and supporting economic recovery.

When developing measures and putting them into practice, the Petrol Group complies fully, in all of its markets, with instructions issued by authorities. Its primary concern are measures aimed at protecting the health of Petrol's customers and employees. The general public is informed of all measures as they are adopted. The Petrol Group adapts its measures to reflect the latest situation in its markets.

A number of the measures aimed at containing the epidemic have to do with movement restrictions. In Slovenia, various movement restriction measures (laid down in the Ordinance on the temporary partial restriction of movement of people and on the prohibition of gathering of people to prevent the spread of COVID-19, as amended) were in place in 2021, depending on how the epidemic evolved. These included the prohibition of movement between municipalities, a ban on the movement of people between 9 pm and 6 am (in force until 11 April 2021), restricted crossing of state borders (obligatory testing for SARS-CoV-2, quarantine, etc.). Movement restriction measures have a negative impact on transport and mobility, thus depressing the sales of petroleum products.

The Petrol Group's operations are also significantly affected by changes in the prices of oil and petroleum products in the world market, the method of determining the retail prices of petroleum products and changes in the US dollar to the euro exchange rate.

The average price of Brent Dated North Sea crude oil stood at USD 61.1 per barrel in the first three months of 2021 and was up 22 percent year-on-year whereas the average price in euros increased by 12 percent year-on-year. In the period concerned, the price of Brent crude peaked on 12 March 2021, reaching USD 69.3 per barrel. Its lowest price was recorded on 4 January 2021 at USD 50.3 per barrel. The prices of petrol and middle distillates followed the same trends as crude oil prices.

Figure 9: Changes in Brent Dated High oil price in the first three months of 2021 in EUR/barrel

Source: Petrol, 2021

The pandemic, which emerged in 2020 and affected all major economies in the world, caused a decline in oil demand across the globe. At the same time, excess supply began to emerge, leading to a significant drop in the prices of oil. After an initial shock, oil prices began to recover. Future oil price movements will continue to depend largely on OPEC's oil output agreements, relations between the United States and Russia and between the United States and China, and also on recovery expectations following the pandemic, US and EU oil stocks figures and demand in China.

In Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, the retail selling prices of petroleum products have been liberalised and determined by the market. In Montenegro, the prices of petroleum products are set in accordance with the Regulation on the Method of Setting Maximum Retail Prices, which has been in force since 1 January 2011. The prices change fortnightly, provided that prices on the oil market (Platts European Marketscan) and the exchange rates of the euro and the US dollar change by more than 5 percent.

The US dollar to the euro exchange rate ranged between 1.17 and 1.23 US dollars per euro in the first three months of 2021. The average exchange rate of the US dollar according to the exchange rate of the European Central Bank stood at 1.20 US dollars per euro in the period concerned.

The Petrol Group's business performance in the first three months of 2021

The Petrol Group's sales revenue for the first three months of 2021 stood at EUR 911.9 million, which was on a par with the results for the same period of 2020 despite a drop in the sales of petroleum products. This was mainly attributable to higher oil prices, improved natural gas sales and the incorporation of the company E 3 d.o.o. into the Petrol Group. In January and February 2020, the Petrol Group operated without any disruption. In March 2020, however, the business environment deteriorated considerably as the pandemic began. In the first three months of 2021, we were still faced with a range of measures taken by countries to curb the epidemic, which restricted movement between local communities as well as countries.

Figure 10: The Petrol Group's sales revenue broken down by activity

In the first three months of 2021, the Petrol Group sold 607.5 thousand tons of petroleum products, a year-on-year decrease of 18 percent. 45 percent of the sales were generated in retail and 55 percent in wholesale operations. The biggest decrease was recorded in relation to the sale of fuels in the EU markets, especially Italy, where a number of excise warehouses were shut down. This prevented us from increasing imports of petroleum products to the country. Due to movement restriction measures taken by countries to curb the coronavirus epidemic, retail sales were also down year-on-year. The largest decrease was observed in Slovenia, which is the Group's largest retail market. In Slovenia, the three-month sales of petroleum products stood at 308.9 thousand tons, accounting for 51 percent of the Petrol Group's total sales. In the same period, the Group sold 174.0 thousand tons of petroleum products in SE Europe markets, representing 29 percent of the Petrol Group's total sales, and 124.6 thousand tons in EU markets, which represented 20 percent of the Group's total sales.

At the end of March 2021, the Petrol Group's retail network consisted of 500 service stations, of which 318 were in Slovenia, 110 in Croatia, 42 in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 15 in Serbia and 15 in Montenegro.

In the first three months of 2021, EUR 129.0 million was generated in revenue from the sale of merchandise, an increase of 3 percent compared to the same period of the previous year.

In the period concerned, we also sold 33.4 thousand tons of LPG, 13.3 TWh of natural gas, 3.8 TWh of electricity and 68.9 thousand MWh of heat.

EBITDA amounted to EUR 54.0 million in the first three months of 2021, which was 16 percent more than in the first three months of 2020. This was achieved by successfully adapting sales to market conditions and through effective cost management.

Figure 12: The Petrol Group's EBITDA broken down by activity

Adjusted gross profit stood at EUR 137.1 million in the period concerned, which was 30 percent more than in the first three months of 2020. In the first three months of 2021, we secured better procurement conditions both for petroleum products and merchandise. In addition, as the setting of selling prices was liberalised in Slovenia, the real costs of the biocomponent, which we are legally required to add to fossil fuels, could be included in the petroleum-product selling prices in the Slovene market. We were also very successful in selling natural gas. As the situation stabilised in the EU markets, better financial results were achieved despite a decrease in sales in the Italian market. In the last weeks of March 2020, the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, which led to goods surpluses in the market, could already be felt in

these markets. This caused prices in global petroleum-product markets to decline sharply, leading to a financial performance that was much worse last year relative to this year.

In the first three months of 2021, operating costs totalled EUR 97.2 million and were up 8 percent year-on-year. The share of these costs in the adjusted gross profit for the period concerned stood at 71 percent and amounted to 85 percent in the same period of 2020.

Table 2: The Petrol Group's operating costs

The costs of materials totalled EUR 7.8 million in the first three months of 2021, which was 11 percent less than in the same period of 2020, owing to a decrease in the costs of energy and consumables.

The costs of services stood at EUR 32.3 million and were down 5 percent year-on-year. The costs of service station managers decreased thanks to the streamlining of business and the fact that the management of some service stations was transferred to the parent company. In addition, outsourcing costs and the costs of consultancy services and maintenance also decreased. However, lease payments (increase in the costs of computer equipment leasing), the costs of payment transactions and bank services as well as the costs of fairs, advertising and entertainment were up, primarily due to the incorporation of the company E 3 d.o.o. into the Petrol Group.

Labour costs, which stood at EUR 28.0 million, were up 7%. At Petrol d.d., the increase resulted primarily from higher sales performance related costs in line with good business results and a change in the management of certain service stations, which was transferred from managers to the parent company. Furthermore, labour costs increased because of the incorporation of E 3 d.o.o. into the Petrol Group.

In line with the measures taken by countries to contain the Covid-19 epidemic, the Petrol Group made use of measures relating to the reimbursement of labour costs of EUR 0.3 million, recording their effects as a decrease in labour costs.

The depreciation and amortisation charge, which stood at EUR 18.5 million in the first three months of 2021, increased by 2 percent compared with the same period of 2020 due to the incorporation of the company E 3 d.o.o. into the Petrol Group and the expansion of operations in the area of energy and environmental systems.

Other costs totalled EUR 10.6 million and were up EUR 7.9 million year-on-year, mostly on account of higher impairment of fixed assets.

Other revenue stood at EUR 11.2 million, which was EUR 37.3 million less than in the same period of 2020. Gain on derivatives totalled EUR 10.0 million or 37.0 million less than in 2020. Other expenses stood at EUR 15.7 million, which was EUR 20.0 million less than in the same period of 2020. Loss on derivatives totalled EUR 15.1 million or EUR 20.4 million less than in the same period of 2020. The Petrol Group is exposed to price and volumetric risks arising from energy operations (petroleum products, natural gas, electricity, LPG). The Group manages price and volumetric risks primarily by aiming to align purchases and sales of energy products in terms of quantities as well as purchase and sales conditions, thus securing its margin. Depending on the business model for each energy product, limits are in place that restrict exposure to price and volumetric risks. To hedge petroleum product prices, the Group uses mostly derivative financial instruments. Partners in this area include global financial institutions and banks or suppliers of goods, which is why the Group considers the counterparty default risk as minimal. The Group enters into derivative financial instruments also in connection with electricity trading, engaging financial institutions to ensure minimal counterparty default risk and taking into account market value limits it has adopted.

In the first three months of 2021, operating profit totalled EUR 35.4 million and was up 25 percent year-on-year.

The share of profit from equity accounted investees totalled EUR 0.3 million and was down 8 percent year-on-year.

Net finance expenses stood at EUR 2.7 million in the first three months of 2021 and were up EUR 0.8 million year-on-year. Net foreign exchange losses were EUR 2.2 million higher in the first three months of 2021 than in the same period of 2020, with net gains on derivatives decreasing by EUR 0.7 million compared to the same period of previous year. In the first three months of 2021, the Petrol Group's allowances for operating receivables decreased by EUR 0.8 million year-on-year. In the first three months of 2021, the Petrol Group did not impair its investments and goodwill. In the first three months of 2020, however, the impairments amounted to EUR 0.9 million.

Pre-tax operating profit for the first three months of 2021 amounted to EUR 33.1 million and was up 23 percent year-on-year. Net profit for the first three months of 2021 totalled EUR 28.0 million or 27 percent more than in the same period of 2020.

The Petrol Group's total assets stood at EUR 1.8 billion as at 31 March 2021, which was on a par with the balance at the end of 2020. Non-current assets totalled EUR 1.1 billion, which was on a par with the balance at the end of 2020, with current assets amounting to EUR 720.0 million, also on a par with the balance at the end of 2020. Current operating receivables were up EUR 73.2 million compared with the end of 2020, which was primarily due to the incorporation of the company E 3 d.o.o. into the Petrol Group and higher sales of natural gas.

The Petrol Group's equity equalled EUR 854.6 million as at 31 March 2021, an increase of 3 percent year-on-year.

Net debt totalled EUR 352.1 million or EUR 24.1 million more than at the end of 2020. The annualised net debt to EBITDA ratio stood at 1.6 compared to 2.0 at the end of 2020.

As at the last day of the period concerned, on 31 March 2021, the Petrol Group had EUR 140.7 million in working capital or EUR 54.6 million more than at the end of 2020 when it had stood at EUR 86.2 million. This was mainly the result of higher operating receivables.

By responding quickly to changed market conditions, both by adjusting and diversifying its product range and by streamlining and optimising costs, the Petrol Group managed to lessen the negative impact of the pandemic on its operations already in 2020. The efforts and activities aimed at optimising costs and streamlining business operations had a positive impact also on the business results for the first three months of 2021. The Petrol Group will continue to closely monitor the behaviour of its customers and adapt its range to reflect market conditions.

What follows is a detailed presentation of the Petrol Group's operations in the first three months of 2021 broken down by type of activity:

  • A. Sales, consisting of petroleum product sales, liquefied petroleum gas sales, natural gas sales, electricity sales and trading, merchandise sales and sale of services
  • B. Energy and environmental systems, consisting of energy solutions, heat systems, natural gas distribution, mobility and production of renewable electricity

A. SALES

In the first three months of 2021, the Petrol Group's revenue generated in the sales segment stood at EUR 889.1 million.

Sales of petroleum products

In the first three months of 2021, the Petrol Group sold 607.5 thousand tons of petroleum products, a year-on-year decrease of 18 percent. The biggest decrease was recorded in relation to the sale of fuels in the EU markets, especially Italy, where a number of excise warehouses were shut down. This prevented us from increasing imports of petroleum products to the country. Due to movement restriction measures taken by countries to curb the coronavirus epidemic, retail sales were also down year-on-year. The largest decrease was observed in Slovenia, which is the Group's largest retail market.

In Slovenia, 308.9 thousand tons of petroleum products were sold in the first three months of 2021, a year-on-year decrease of 2 percent. Good results were achieved in diesel fuel sales.

In SE Europe markets, 174.0 thousand tons of petroleum products were sold in the first three months of 2021, a year-on-year decrease of 3 percent.

In EU markets, 124.6 thousand tons of petroleum products were sold in the first three months of 2021, a year-on-year decrease of 49 percent. This was mainly the result of the changed selling conditions in Italy.

Sales of merchandise

Merchandise sales consist of sales of automotive products, foodstuffs, accessories, tobacco and lottery products, coupons and cards, coffee-to-go and other merchandise. The Petrol Group generated EUR 129.0 million in revenue from the sale of merchandise in the first three months of 2021, an increase of 3 percent compared to the same period of the previous year.

In Slovenia, EUR 111.4 million was generated in revenue from the sale of merchandise in the first three months of 2021, an increase of 4 percent compared to the same period of the previous year. The best results were achieved in tobacco sales and in the sale of hot beverages (coffee to go) and products from the Fresh range. The range at Petrol's points of sale is modified and expanded as we try to accommodate the needs of our service station customers by quickly adapting the range.

In SE Europe markets, EUR 17.5 million was generated in revenue from the sale of merchandise in the first three months of 2021, a decrease of 2 percent compared to the same period of the previous year. The best results were achieved in tobacco, hot beverage and food sales.

Sales of services

Services consist of revenue from storage and petroleum-product handling services, renting of business premises and hospitality facilities, transport, carwash services, revenue from Petrol Club cards, and other services. In the first three months of 2021, the Petrol Group generated EUR 10.0 million in revenue from the services related to oil and merchandise sales, down 6 percent compared to the same period of 2020.

Sales of liquefied petroleum gas

In the first three months of 2021, the Petrol Group sold 33.4 thousand tons of liquefied petroleum gas, a year-on-year decrease of 21 percent. The drop in LPG sales in the first quarter was primarily due to lower sales by Petrol LPG d.o.o., which had to deliver goods using railway tankers instead of barges at the Smederevo terminal because of logistical problems. This has diminished our competitiveness in the market. Decreased mobility (stemming from the Covid-19 containment measures) both in Slovenia and Croatia has also caused a drop in the sales of LPG as a propulsion fuel.

At the end of March 2021, the Petrol Group operated 5 LPG supply concessions in Slovenia. In addition, the company Petrol d.o.o. has LPG supply contracts in the towns of Šibenik and Rijeka. Liquefied petroleum gas is supplied to customers also through LPG storage tanks and at service stations as autogas.

Sales of natural gas

At the end of March 2021, the Petrol Group had 50.4 thousand natural gas customers. In the first three months of 2021, the Petrol Group sold 13.3 TWh of natural gas, a year-on-year increase of 107 percent. This was the result of low temperatures during the heating season and higher sales in foreign markets.

Electricity sales and trading

The Petrol Group has positioned itself as an important electricity market player. It set up a complete infrastructure for wholesale electricity trading in Slovenia, EU countries and SE Europe countries. Electricity sales to end users (businesses and households) already in place in Slovenia are now being expanded to SE Europe. At the end of March 2021, the Petrol Group had 225.9 thousand electricity customers.

In the first three months of 2021, the Petrol Group sold 3.8 TWh of electricity, a year-on-year decrease of 34 percent. This was the result of a lower trading volume. Sales to end customers stood at 0.9 TWh in the first three months of 2021, which was 112 percent more than in the same period of 2020. This was primarily due to the incorporation of the company E 3 d.o.o. into the Petrol Group. With the acquisition of E 3 d.o.o., the Petrol Group has strengthened considerably its position in the market for the sale of electricity to end customers.

B. ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS

In the first three months of 2021, the Petrol Group generated EUR 22.8 million in sales revenue in the area of energy and environmental systems.

Energy and environmental systems consist of a range offered in the following segments:

  • Energy and environmental solutions (systems of energy and environmental management of buildings, water supply systems, efficient lighting systems)
  • Heat systems
  • Natural gas distribution
  • Mobility
  • Production of renewable electricity

Energy and environmental solutions

Long-term contract-based supply of energy and contractually guaranteed energy and water savings (performance contracting) are the most common project implementation models in the public sector, the commercial sector and in industry. These models offer a significant advantage to the customers in that Petrol assumes all technical and economic risks of project implementation and management, provides the necessary funds to carry out the measures, and supplies customers with the required energy of suitable quality, guaranteeing savings in the use of energy products compared to the previous situation.

The projects of long-term heat supply, energy renovation of buildings and the reduction of electricity consumption and water losses are largely carried out using the public-private partnership model.

In the field of industry, we have been developing various business models tailored to the needs of the customer and the customer's technological processes. Our experts prepare solutions for steam and heat, natural gas, industrial gases and compressed air, water, cooling systems and industrial waste treatment plants. We are setting up projects in the field of efficient lighting in industrial buildings. Industrial customers are included in our virtual power plant.

In addition to industrial users, we are developing solutions for commonhold unit owners and managers in the field of energy-saving renovation, control and management of boiler rooms and the installation of heat cost allocators in apartment buildings.

Heat systems

District heat supply consists of heating systems where heat is produced in one or more boiler rooms and distributed to end customers via a hot-water network. Heat distribution systems are now considered to be one of the most reliable and, in terms of the environment and costs, acceptable systems for supplying heat to end customers. Buildings supplied via a district heating system do not require their own heating source, with the system itself providing the following supply advantages:

  • improved energy efficiency,
  • friendlier to the environment,
  • straightforward operation and maintenance, reliability, comfort and convenience,
  • lower cost of investment,

• lower cost of operation and major repairs.

In the first three months of 2021, the Petrol Group sold 68.9 thousand MWh of heat, a yearon-year increase of 2 percent.

Natural gas distribution

At the end of March 2021, the Group operated 31 natural gas supply concessions in Slovenia. In Serbia, it supplied natural gas to the municipalities of Bačka Topola and Pećinci as well as to three Belgrade municipalities. At the end of 2018, the Petrol Group also established itself in Croatia where its company Zagorski metalac d.o.o. distributes natural gas in certain municipalities of the Zagorje-Krapina County and the Zagreb County.

In the first three months of 2021, the Petrol Group distributed 533.0 thousand MWh of natural gas, a year-on-year increase of 13 percent.

Mobility

  • E-mobility setting up, managing and maintaining infrastructure for the charging of electric vehicles, and provision of the charging service
  • Mobility services "vehicle as a service", fleet management, short-term leasing and doorto-door services in cooperation with the subsidiary Atet d.o.o.

As part of e-mobility, we provide services related to the setting up, management and maintenance of infrastructure for the charging of electric vehicles as well as services linked to the very performance and billing of the charging service, and also customer care. These services and solutions are offered also to companies and municipalities. At the end of March 2021, the Petrol Group operated 165 standard and 59 fast charging points as well as 1 ultrafast charging point. In 2021 we set up and successfully launched Petrol's first ultra-fast charging point at Kozina service station, which supports charging up to 350 KW.

In the first quarter of 2021, we successfully launched the OneCharge app in Croatia, which is a prerequisite for billing the charging service in the future. In addition, the infrastructure in Croatia was integrated into the world's largest roaming platform, Hubject, so that as many charging providers as possible can have access to it. In the first quarter, we entered into agreements with 10 new charging providers, giving them roaming access to Petrol's infrastructure in Slovenia.

In the area of mobility services, we develop services related to new concepts and types of mobility such as "vehicle as a service". Following a successful acquisition of Atet d.o.o., our range of market services now also includes short-term leasing of vehicles and door-to-door services. In addition, we develop commercial fleet management services, aiming to assist larger companies and municipalities to make a transition towards electrification, manage their fleets and, as the ultimate goal, optimise their fleets in terms of costs and function.

In 2021 we continued our work on all three international projects, for which EU grants were received, and we established partnerships to jointly finance the setting up of charging points along motorways.

For Petrol's presence as a leading company in the field of e-mobility and mobility services it is also of particular importance to build a reputation of a sustainability-oriented company focused on reducing its carbon footprint. That is why considerable attention is given to participating in a series of domestic and international projects to the greatest extent possible. For a company with a background mainly in petroleum product sales, this is a significant and important challenge.

Production of renewable electricity

Rapid development of the global energy system is fuelled by growing energy needs as well as by environmental requirements linked to climate change. Recognising this, we also produce electricity from renewable sources – wind, water and sun.

As a key element in the future development of the Petrol Group, renewable electricity production has a strategic place in Petrol's decision to become a modern energy company. It helps us secure own long-term sources for the purpose of selling electricity, while keeping us prepared for new trends in the area of transport. At Petrol, we see enormous potential for the development of renewable electricity production in SE Europe. By developing our own production capacity, we pursue the strategic orientation of becoming a visible regional provider of comprehensive energy and environmental solutions, and a partner in the development of the circular economy for transition to the low-carbon society.

The Petrol Group has been involved in electricity production since 2003, when electricity was produced at smaller production plants (photovoltaics, micro cogeneration, biogas plants). We produce hydroelectric power in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where electricity is produced at four small hydroelectric plants on rivers Jezernica and Kozica as well as at the small hydroelectric power plant Jeleč. In Croatia, we produce wind electricity at Glunča power plant. In 2020 the construction of 30 MW Ljubač wind power plant was launched, which is expected to be connected to the grid in June 2021.

In the first three months of 2021, the Petrol Group produced 30.7 thousand MWh of electricity, a year-on-year increase of 14 percent.

Sustainable development

Sustainability principles have a prominent place in the Petrol Group's development strategy. Our aim is to do business in such a way that it positively affects the economic and social fabric, while striving to protect the environment.

The Petrol Group has a three-fold sustainable orientation:

  • Low-carbon energy company focusing on a more sustainable energy portfolio and mobility, own production of renewable electricity, energy efficiency and on reducing the carbon footprint.
  • Partners with employees and the social environment focusing on boosting corporate integrity, providing for healthy working conditions and employee satisfaction, with the support for the wider community in all markets where the Petrol Group operates (support for humanitarian, cultural, sports and environmental projects) also having a prominent role.
  • Circular economy involvement in wastewater treatment, recycling of carwash water and re-use of industrial wastewater. Particular attention is paid to reducing or replacing raw materials used in packaging with recycled and biodegradable materials.

Employees

On 31 March 2021, the Petrol Group had 5,151 employees, of which 35 percent worked for subsidiary companies abroad. The number of employees decreased by 6 compared to the end of 2020. At Petrol d.d., Ljubljana and third-party managed points of sale, the number of employees decreased by 57, whereas the number of employees working at the subsidiaries increased by 51, owing to the incorporation of E 3 d.o.o. into the Petrol Group.

Figure 214: Changes in the number of employees of the Petrol Group and at third-party managed service stations in the period 2018 – 2021

Training

In the first three months of 2021, the Petrol Group provided more than 14.5 thousand teaching hours of training (with over 7.6 thousand participants). An internal training system has been set up within the Petrol Group to provide training to all employees in a systematic and comprehensive manner. Due to the pandemic, most training is provided remotely as online courses or webinars. In the case of training courses which need to be carried out live, the guidelines of the National Institute of Public Health and internal recommendations prepared by Petrol's specialist services are strictly observed.

Investments

In the first three months of 2021, net investments in property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and long-term investments stood at EUR 19.4 million (as opposed to EUR 16.1 million in the first three months of 2020). Out of the above amount, 55 percent was allocated to sales of other energy products (LPG, natural gas, electricity), 16 percent to other areas (upgrading of information and other infrastructure), 11 percent to production of renewable electricity, 8 percent to other energy projects and solutions, 6 percent to sales of petroleum products, and 5 percent to mobility.

The quality management system

The company Petrol has a certified quality management system (ISO 9001), environmental management system (ISO 14001) and energy management system (ISO 50001). In addition to the certified systems, the Company's comprehensive quality management system incorporates the requirements of the HACCP food safety management system, of the ISO 45001 occupational health and safety system and of the ISO 27001 information security system.

In 2021 regular activities related to the maintenance of the quality management systems are being carried out. The energy management system is being adapted to meet the requirements of the new edition of ISO 50001.

At the company Petrol d.o.o., Beograd, an ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 surveillance audit was carried out in January 2021 in respect of the process Sale of Industrial Equipment, Engineering and Project Management. The validity of the certificates was preserved.

At the company Beogas d.o.o., a surveillance audit of the ISO 9001:2015 quality management system took place in March 2021. The validity of the certificate was preserved.

In March 2021, Petrol Laboratory received a monitoring visit by SA in connection with its quality management system certified to the SIST EN ISO/IEC 17025:2021 standard. Currently, Petrol Laboratory has 54 accredited test methods and is in the process of expanding its accreditation to an additional test method.

At Petrol d.d., Ljubljana, a report was prepared to extend the Responsible Care certificate, which is now valid until January 2022.

***The AEO certificate is issued by the Customs Administration of the Republic of Slovenia which also carries out control and inspects AEO certificate holders. The certificate allows for easier admittance to customs simplifications, fewer physical and document-based controls, priority treatment in case of control, a possibility to request a specific place for such controls and a possibility of prior notification. To obtain an AEO certificate, several conditions and criteria need to be met: compliance with security and safety standards, appropriate records to demonstrate compliance with customs requirements, a reliable system of keeping commercial and transport records for control purposes, and proof of financial solvency.

Social responsibility

Caring for social and environmental issues has been part of the Petrol's operations for a number of years. The demands and challenges of our time are addressed based on a longterm growth strategy and a strong awareness that supporting the environment in which we operate significantly affects our operations and development. For many years we have been helping wider social and local communities achieve a dynamic lifestyle and better quality of life. Our responsible social attitude is demonstrated through the support we provide to a number of sports, arts, humanitarian and environmental projects. In the Petrol Group, social responsibility is perceived as a lasting commitment to work together with the environment in which we operate.

Risk management

The Petrol Group manages risks using a comprehensive risk management system, making sure that the Company's key risks are identified, assessed, managed, utilised and monitored. In doing that, we aim to develop a risk-awareness culture to ensure better control over the risks and better information for decision-making at all levels of the Group's operation. Risk management concerns each Petrol Group employee who is, as a result of their decisions and actions, exposed to risks on a daily basis while carrying out their work assignments and responsibilities.

In its 2021 – 2025 strategy, the Petrol Group has adjusted its business objectives according to its risk management policies and its risk appetite.

In the first three months of the year, all activities adopted in 2020 in order to manage risks arising from the coronavirus pandemic were continued. These activities were aimed at managing and mitigating the negative effects of the pandemic.

We continued to implement measures taken to provide for the safety and health of employees and customers as well as to ensure an uninterrupted supply to businesses. Additional attention was still given to credit risk management as an increased risk of defaults by our customers is expected across the Petrol Group.

A report on the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the Petrol Group's operations and risk management is available also in section The Petrol Group's operations in the first three months of 2021.

Petrol's risk model comprises 20 risk categories that are divided into two groups:

  • Environment risks and
  • Performance risks.

According to the results of the 2019 risk assessment, the most relevant and probable risks comprise the following financial risks: price and volumetric risk, foreign exchange risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

In addition to the main financial risks, the most relevant and probable risks include legislation and regulation risks, interest rate risks, information risks, economic environment risks, business decision-making risks and political risks.

Price and volumetric risk and foreign exchange risk

The Petrol Group's business model includes energy products, such as petroleum products, natural gas, electricity and liquefied petroleum gas, exposing the Group to price and volumetric risks and to foreign exchange risks arising from the purchase and sale of these products.

The Petrol Group purchases petroleum products under international market conditions, pays for them mostly in US dollars and sells them in local currencies (mostly in EUR). As a result, the Group is exposed to both the price risk (changes in the prices of petroleum products) and the foreign exchange risk (changes in the EUR/USD exchange rate) while pursuing its core

line of business. The Petrol Group manages volumetric and price risks to the largest extent possible by matching suppliers' terms of procurement with the terms of sale applying to customers. Any remaining open price or foreign exchange positions are closed through the use of derivatives, in particular commodity swaps in the case of price risks and forward contracts in the case of foreign exchange risks.

Electricity operations expose the Group to price and volumetric risks. These are managed with an assortment of limits systems defined depending on the business partner, the area of trading and the value at risk, and with appropriate processes in place to monitor and control these risks.

In addition to the risks arising from changes in the EUR/USD exchange rate, the Petrol Group is exposed, to some degree, also to the risk of changes in other currencies, which is linked to doing business in the region. The Petrol Group monitors open foreign exchange positions and decides how to manage them on a monthly basis.

Credit risk

The credit risk was assessed in 2019 as the third most relevant financial risk to which the Petrol Group was exposed in connection with the sale of goods and services to natural and legal entities. The risk is managed using the measures outlined below.

The operating receivables management system provides us with an efficient credit risk management.

As part of the usual receivables management processes, we constantly and actively pursue the collection of receivables, a process which was even more intense in 2020 due to the exceptional economic situation. We refine procedures for approving the amount of exposure (limits) to individual buyers and, in these demanding times, try to maintain the range of firstclass credit insurance instruments as a requirement to approve sales (receivables insurance with credit insurance companies, bank guarantees, collaterals, corporate guarantees, securities, pledges). In the previous year, this was a significant challenge. At the beginning of 2020, the Petrol Group introduced a new insurance scheme for keeping track of the Group's needs in the field of credit risk insurance as market conditions evolve. A great deal of work is put into the management of receivables from all customers in Slovenia, and significant attention is also devoted to the collection of receivables in SE Europe markets, where the solvency and payment discipline of the business sector differs from that in Slovenia. Receivables are systematically monitored by portfolio, region and organisational unit as well as by credit risk assessment, level of insurance and individual customer. To monitor most of our subsidiaries, we use a joint receivables management application, which provides us with automated control over the exposure to individual customers and the possibility to respond immediately. The data pertaining to the parent company and a subsidiary is monitored using the new ERP and DWH system. In addition, we introduced centralised control over credit insurance instruments received and centralised the collection process.

Due to the quarantine and the resulting drop in economic activity, companies were faced with liquidity shocks leading to our customers having a higher credit risk. In the first three months of 2021, the Petrol Group continued to monitor closely the indicators of increased risk and engaged in intensive communication with its customers. The balance of receivables is still subject to daily and close monitoring at the operational level for all Petrol Group companies and we actively work with customers when it comes to collecting them.

Despite the above measures, the Petrol Group, too, is unable to fully avoid the consequences of bankruptcies, compulsory composition proceedings and personal bankruptcies.

We consider that credit risks are adequately managed within the Petrol Group. Our assessment is based on the nature of our products, our market share, our large customer base, a higher volume of secured receivables and the small share of overdue receivables. 60 percent of receivables from legal entities are secured, with credit insurance and offsetting against trade liabilities being most widely used insurance instruments (together accounting for 81 percent).

Liquidity risk

The Petrol Group has been assigned a BBB- long-term international credit rating, an A-3 shortterm credit rating and a stable credit rating outlook by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, which reaffirmed the ratings on 9 April 2021. This investment-grade rating enables us to tap international financial markets more easily and represents an additional commitment towards successful operations and the deleveraging of the Petrol Group. Liquidity risks are managed in accordance with relevant S&P methodology.

In the first three months of 2021, average petroleum product prices were higher year-on-year, meaning that slightly more working capital is needed. Through existing long-term and shortterm credit lines, which were increased in 2020 due to the pandemic, we have been able to ensure continued liquidity of the Petrol Group. Should the economic situation deteriorate, the size of the credit lines will enable us to do business without interruption. The additional credit lines will help us to ensure appropriate liquidity structure of the Petrol Group in accordance with S&P criteria also in this situation.

To maintain liquidity, we began in 2020 to actively prepare even more detailed sensitivity analyses and draw up short-term liquidity and working capital forecasts. This practice was continued also in the first quarter of this year.

Cash flow management still requires closer attention and prudence, especially as regards the planning of cash inflows from lay away sales, this being the main source of credit risks and, consequently, liquidity risks.

Despite the decline in sales due to quarantine measures, the Petrol Group settles all its liabilities as they fall due. This is possible thanks to its relatively low debt levels and strong liquidity position.

Interest rate risk

The Petrol Group regularly monitors its exposure to the interest rate risk. 85 percent of the Group's non-current financial liabilities contain a variable interest rate that is linked to EURIBOR. The average EURIBOR rates in the first three months of 2021 were similar to the ones at the end of 2020 and thus remain historically low (negative).

To hedge against exposure to the interest rate risk, a large portion of variable interest rates is transformed into a fixed interest rate using derivative financial instruments, thus protecting our net interest position. In the first three months of 2021, no additional interest rate hedging contracts were concluded.

Petrol's shares

At the end of March 2021, share prices at the Ljubljana Stock Exchange were higher than at the end of 2020. This was also reflected in the SBITOP, the Slovene blue-chip index, which is used as a benchmark and provides information on changes in the prices of the most important and liquid shares traded on the regulated market. The index also comprises Petrol's shares. The SBITOP stood at 990.21 as at the end of March 2021 and was up 10.0 percent relative to the end of 2020 (900.37). During this period, the price of Petrol's shares increased by 13.8 percent. In terms of trading volume, which in the case of Petrol's shares amounted to EUR 30.3 million between January and March (this includes batch trading totalling EUR 23.3 million), the shares were ranked second among the shares traded on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange. In terms of market capitalisation, which stood at EUR 771.9 million as at 31 March 2021, the shares were ranked third and accounted for 10.3 percent of the total Slovene stock market capitalisation on the said date.

Figure 16: Base index changes for Petrol d.d., Ljubljana's closing share price against the SBITOP index in the first three months of 2021 compared to the end of 2020

In the first three months of 2021, the price of Petrol's shares ranged between EUR 325 and EUR 375 per share. Their average price for the period stood at EUR 350.29 and their price as at the end of March 2021 at EUR 370.00. The Petrol Group's earnings per share stood at EUR 13.52, with the book value per share amounting to EUR 409.64. Petrol d.d., Ljubljana had 22,084 shareholders as at 31 March 2021. At the end of March 2021, 566,161 shares or 27.1 percent of all shares were held by foreign legal or natural persons. Compared to the end of 2020, the number of foreign shareholders increased by 0.1 percentage points.

Contingent increase in share capital

In the period up to 31 March 2021, the General Meeting of Petrol d.d., Ljubljana did not adopt any resolutions regarding the contingent increase in share capital.

Dividends

In accordance with a resolution of the 33rd General Meeting held on 22 April 2021, Petrol d.d., Ljubljana shall pay 2020 gross dividends of EUR 22.00 per share in August 2021. The gross dividend per share for 2019, which was paid in 2020, also stood at EUR 22.00.

Own shares

Petrol d.d., Ljubljana did not repurchase its own shares in the first three months of 2021. As at 31 March 2021, the number of own shares stood at 30,723, representing 1.5 percent of the share capital.

Strategy of the Petrol Group for the period 2021 – 2025

On 28 January 2021, the Supervisory Board of Petrol d.d., Ljubljana approved the Strategy of the Petrol Group for the period 2021 – 2025. Ensuring business growth and increasing the profitability of operations while maintaining the commitment to sustainable development are the main principles underpinning the preparation and implementation of the strategic plan.

The Petrol Group's strategy for the period 2021 – 2025 is an overarching development document defining the path to a successful future based on the Group's vision, goals and strategic business plan.

The environment in which the Petrol Group operates is facing important changes. Energy transition towards a low-carbon company and the development of new technologies are transforming established ways of how energy products are produced, sold and used. Petrol is committed to making a transition to green energy and is making significant investments to achieve it. While co-creating opportunities brought about by the energy transition we will also continue to supply the market with hydrocarbons.

The new strategy of the Petrol Group defines clear targets for implementing our vision to become an integrated partner in the energy transition, offering an excellent user experience. This helps us focus on our core business, which it to supply energy products, as it is this area where we still see great potential and opportunities in connection with the energy transformation.

Creating and cultivating relationships with customers is our priority and we will continue to strengthen our sales network in the region as a result. Thanks to new digital channels, a broader range of energy products and personalised offer, we will be even closer to our customers, helping them to make a transition from traditional energy sources to cleaner renewable energy. Our aim is to become a key link in a broader ecosystem by offering energy sources that are adapted to and co-shape the market. For this reason, we will increase operational efficiency to free up additional funds for investments in renewable energy production.

The Petrol Group recognises the importance of sustainable development. The transition to a low-carbon energy company, partnership with employees and the social environment, and the circular economy constitute the Petrol Group's business commitments in this strategic period. As a partner to industry, public sector and households, Petrol is assuming a leading role in achieving the environmental goals.

Through continuous development of fuels, we will actively contribute to reducing emissions. At the same, we will help to reduce the carbon footprint of both the Petrol Group and our customers by pursuing clear sustainable policies.

Thanks to improved internal processes, new competences and empowered employees, we will be even more proactive in addressing the current and future needs of our customers in the energy industry and adapt our operations to the user, who is at the centre of our attention. We want to become the first choice for shopping on the go.

In this strategic period, we will remain present in all markets, focusing on:

  • Slovenia, where we will consolidate our position of a leading energy company and partner in the energy transition;
  • Croatia, where we will use our sales network to expand our portfolio of customers in the field of energy products and energy transition services and invest in renewable electricity production;
  • Serbia, where we will increase our share in the energy product sales market.

We will work to remain the first choice for energy transition projects in the region by offering integrated services with high added value. We will develop and strengthen our presence in the supply and sale of natural gas and electricity, in the sale of liquefied petroleum gas and in energy efficiency projects. Renewable electricity production, where we will position ourselves to become a major supplier in SE Europe, plays a particular role in the energy transition.

The development of new solutions in the field of electric mobility and mobility services constitutes an important pillar of Petrol's sustainable and innovative business. When it comes to mobility, the Petrol Group focuses on two segments. The first segment is linked to the charging infrastructure, which means setting up, managing and maintaining the infrastructure for the charging of electric vehicles as well as providing the charging service. The second segment is comprised of mobility services, such as operating leases, fleet electrification and fleet management services.

In 2025, EBITDA is planned to total EUR 336 million, with net profit amounting to EUR 180 million. The net debt to EBITDA ratio is planned to be less than 1. In the period from 2021 to 2025, we plan to invest a total of EUR 698 million, of which more than 35 percent will be dedicated to the energy transition and thus to carbon footprint reduction. As for other investments, the greater part will be allocated to expanding and upgrading our retail network and to digitalising our business.

Financial projections take into account the impact of Covid-19 in the first quarter of 2021 and assume that the vaccination coverage of the population will have been achieved by mid-2021. In accordance with the projections of international financial institutions, economic recovery is expected to be V-shaped.

By achieving the goals, we will strengthen long-term financial stability of the Petrol Group. Through a stable dividend policy, we will ensure a balanced dividend yield for shareholders and the use of free cash flows to finance the Petrol Group's investment plans. This will allow for long-term growth and development of the Group, maximising its value for the owners. The dividend policy target for the strategic period 2021 – 2025 is 50 percent of the Group's net profit, taking into account the investment cycle, Group indicators and the achieved objectives.

The main targets for 2025 are as follows:

  • Sales revenue of EUR 4.7 billion (the 2025 sales revenue figures rely on the assumption that energy product prices will match the levels used in the plans for 2021)
  • EBITDA of EUR 336 million
  • Net debt/EBITDA < 1
  • Net profit of EUR 180 million
  • Total investments in fixed assets of EUR 698 million in the period 2021 2025, of which 35 percent in energy transformation
  • Renewable electricity production output of 160 MW
  • Retail network consisting of 627 service stations
  • 1,575 charging points for electric vehicles
  • Energy savings of 73 GWh for end-customers in the period 2021 2025

Business plan for 2021

Energy market participants are presented with vast challenges and change. On the one hand, they have to deal with an extremely difficult systemic transition to renewable supply sources, while on the other, a considerable shift can be observed in the behaviour of end customers, who are becoming increasingly engaged and environmentally conscious. As a main energy company in Slovenia and in SE Europe, the Petrol Group took on an active role in increasing energy independence, energy efficiency and the share of renewables. In 2021 the Petrol Group will continue to work to reduce its carbon footprint.

The sales of merchandise and services make up an important part of the Group's revenue, which is why the situation in the trade sector has a major impact on operations. The Group participates in the development of the trade sector, which is changing the purchasing habits of consumers and distribution channels through the digitisation of business. The pandemic has further highlighted the need to reduce and control costs and to optimise supply and sales chains, thereby ensuring point-of-sale profitability.

Providing a full range of customer-focused products and services together with an excellent shopping experience is at the heart of Petrol's operations. As we try to approach our customers in innovative ways, we also change and enhance our internal operating processes which enable us to develop new solutions and sustainable models.

In the Petrol Group, we realise that despite careful preparation, informed business decisions, quick response to changes and an efficient risk management system external factors may arise in the business environment which are beyond our direct control and may pose a risk or a threat when it comes to meeting our targets. This was evident in 2020 when the Covid-19 pandemic emerged.

Our goals for 2021 are ambitious. In drawing up the plan for 2021, we have assumed that the pandemic will be effectively contained through vaccination in the first half of 2021.

We are still drawing attention to the fact that there remains considerable uncertainty as to the achievement of the plan, which is subject to the further course of the pandemic. This is particularly relevant if:

  • insufficient vaccination coverage is achieved before summer 2021 and the pandemic continues,
  • the measures to curb the pandemic are still in place at the end of the second quarter, in particular those taken by countries to restrict movement,

• economic recovery will be slower, leading to economic growth that is lower than expected. In this case, the Petrol Group will review its 2021 business targets in the second half of 2021 and adjust them accordingly.

The 2021 plans do not take into account any new acquisitions.

In addition to the pandemic, the following risks also bear on the achievement of the 2021 plans:

  • sales in the EU market, which is extremely volatile,
  • impact of the Real Property Tax Act and its new valuation model,
  • impact of the Energy Savings Requirements Act in Croatia,
  • other regulatory requirements.

The Petrol Group's main business targets for 2021:

  • Sales revenue of EUR 3.5 billion
  • Adjusted gross profit of EUR 490.0 million
  • EBITDA of EUR 213.5 million
  • Net profit of EUR 104.4 million
  • Net debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.5
  • 3.0 million tons of petroleum products sold
  • 171.7 thousand tons of LPG sold
  • 25.6 TWh of natural gas sold
  • Revenue from merchandise sales of EUR 446.2 million

Considering its first-quarter results, the Petrol Group is successfully delivering on its 2021 targets.

Notes to the financial statements

Reporting entity

Petrol d.d., Ljubljana (hereinafter the "Company") is a company domiciled in Slovenia. Its registered office is at Dunajska cesta 50, 1527 Ljubljana. Below we present consolidated financial statements of the Group for the period ended 31 March 2021 and separate financial statements of the company Petrol d.d., Ljubljana for the period ended 31 March 2021. The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries as well as the Group's interests in associates and jointly controlled entities (together referred to as the "Group"). A more detailed overview of the Group's structure is presented in the chapter Organisational structure of the Petrol Group.

Basis of preparation

a. Statement of compliance

The Company's management approved the Company's financial statements and the Group's consolidated financial statements on 13 May 2021.

The financial statements of Petrol d.d., Ljubljana and consolidated financial statements of the Petrol Group have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim financial reporting and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as at 31 December 2020.

The financial statements for the period from January – March 2021 are prepared based on the same accounting policies used for the preparation of financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.

b. Basis of measurement

The Group's and the Company's financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the financial instruments that are carried at fair value or amortised cost.

c. Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in euros (EUR) without cents, the euro also being the Company's functional currency. Due to rounding, some immaterial differences may arise as concerns the sums presented in tables.

d. Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgements based on the assumptions used and reviewed that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. How the estimates are produced and the related assumptions and uncertainties is disclosed in the notes to individual items.

The estimates, judgements and assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis. Because estimates are subject to subjective judgments and a degree of uncertainty, actual results might differ from the estimates. Changes in accounting estimates, judgements and assumptions are recognised in the period in which the estimates are changed if a change affects that period only. If the change affects future periods, they are recognised in the period of the change and in any future periods.

Estimates and assumptions are mainly used in the following judgements:

  • leases:
    • identifying a lease,
    • determining the lease term,
    • determining the discount rate,
  • revenue from contracts with customers:
    • treatment of excise duty when selling petroleum products,
    • determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations,
    • sale in the name and for the account of third parties,
    • determining whether the loyalty points provide additional benefits to customers,
  • allocating assets or part of the assets to investment property,
  • business combinations:
    • defining a business combination,
    • net asset value recognition date,
    • estimating the fair value of net assets,
  • estimating the useful lives of depreciable assets,
  • assets impairment testing,
  • parameters/assumptions applied in assessing asset values,
  • estimating of the fair value of assets,
  • estimating of the influence in jointly controlled entities,
  • estimate of provisions for litigation,
  • estimate of provisions for partial non-compliance in the area of renewables,
  • estimate of provisions for employee post-employment and other long-term benefits,
  • assessing the possibility of using deferred tax assets.

e. Changes of financial statement presentation

The Group/Company did not change its accounting policies in 2021.

Notes to individual items in the financial statements

1. Segment reporting

In view of the fact that the financial report consists of the financial statements and accompanying notes of both the Group and the Company, only the Group's operating segments are disclosed.

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group's other components. The operating results of operating segments are reviewed regularly by the management to make decisions about resources to be allocated to a segment and assess the Group's performance.

The management monitors information on two levels: on the micro level, in which case individual units are monitored, and on the macro level, where information is monitored only in terms of certain key information that can be used to make comparisons with similar companies in Europe. Given the substantial amount of information and their sensitivity on the micro level, the Group only discloses macro-level information in its annual report.

The Group thus uses the following segments in the preparation and presentation of the financial statements:

  • sales,
  • energy and environmental systems.

Sales consist of:

  • sales of petroleum products,
  • sales of merchandise and services,
  • sales of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG),
  • sales of and trading in electricity,
  • sales of natural gas.
  • Energy and environmental systems consist of:
  • energy and environmental solutions,
  • heat systems,
  • distribution of natural gas,
  • mobility and
  • production of renewable electricity.

When testing asset impairment indicators, the Group determined that there is a need to impair the goodwill of Zagorski metalac d.o.o.

Based on the assessed value of the assets of the cash-generating unit Zagorski metalac d.o.o., the Group recognised the impairment of assets of EUR 1,313,618, of which EUR 870,342 relates to the impairment of goodwill and EUR 443,276 to the impairment of property, plant and equipment. Lower value estimates are mainly a reflection of lower expectations regarding future cash flows as a result of the need for more investments in fixed assets over the projection period.

Goodwill was tested for impairment using the method of the present value of expected free cash flows, which are based on the future financial plans of cash-generating units. The assumptions used in the calculation of net cash flows (long-term growth rate of cash flows, cash flow projection, projection period, discount rate) are based on past operations and reasonably expected operations in the future. Cash flow projection periods reflect the operations and investment activities of individual companies. Growth rates of free cash flows are based on expected price growth rates. For Zagorski metalac d.o.o., 5-year financial plans of the cash-generating unit, the required rate of return of 10.30 percent before taxes (2020: 10.30 percent) and the annual growth rate of remaining free cash flows (the residual value) of 0 percent (2020: 0 percent) were used in testing goodwill for impairment.

In the calculation of free cash flow, increasing the discount rate by 0.5 percentage points and decreasing the long-term growth rate by 0.5 percentage points would lead to the impairment increasing by EUR 409,000. Decreasing the discount rate by 0.5 percentage points and increasing the long-term growth rate by 0.5 percentage points would lead to the impairment decreasing by a total of EUR 496,000.

When testing asset impairment indicators, the Group determined that the carrying amount of the assets of the cash-generating units Zagorski metalac d.o.o. and Biogas plants exceeded the fair value and value in use of these assets. Therefore, based on internal assessments, the Group impaired the assets of the cash-generating units as at 31 March 2021 by EUR 443,276 in the case of Zagorski metalac d.o.o. and by EUR 1,320,938 in the case of Biogas plants. In the case of Zagorski metalac, the impairment of assets relates to buildings, whereas in the case of Biogas plants it relates to land, buildings and equipment.

The assumptions used in testing the cash-generating unit Zagorski metalac for impairment and the total effects recognised in the financial statements are explained as part of the disclosure of intangible fixed assets relating to the Group.

When testing the non-current assets of the cash-generating unit Biogas plants for impairment, 3-year financial plans were used, which showed the value of the cash-generating unit to be negative.

When testing investment impairment indicators, the Company determined that the carrying amount of the investment in Zagorski metalac d.o.o. exceeded the investment's fair value and value in use, prompting the Company to impair the investment by EUR 943,000 based on internal assessments.

The assumptions used in impairment testing and the total effects recognised in the financial statements are explained as part of the disclosure of intangible fixed assets relating to the Group.

In the calculation of free cash flow, increasing the discount rate by 0.5 percentage points and decreasing the long-term growth rate by 0.5 percentage points would lead to the impairment increasing by EUR 357,750. Decreasing the discount rate by 0.5 percentage points and increasing the long-term growth rate by 0.5 percentage points would lead to the impairment decreasing by a total of EUR 434,250.

Credit risk

In the first three months of the year 2021 the Group/Company continued to actively monitor the balances of trade receivables and to apply strict terms on which sales on open accounts is approved, requiring an adequate range of high-quality collaterals and pursuing active collection of receivables.

Liquidity risk

Due to the uncertainties we faced during the epidemic, the Petrol Group paid special attention to managing liquidity risk.

Despite difficult conditions, our key goal remains that the Group/Company can successfully manage liquidity risks according to Standard & Poor's guidelines.

The Group/Company manages liquidity risks through:

  • sustainable debt level (measured as the net debt to EBITDA ratio) as laid down in the strategy and business plan,
  • ensuring adequate structural liquidity in accordance with S&P methodology,
  • standardised and centralised treasury management at Group level,
  • annual planning of funds by the Petrol Group,
  • daily planning and cash flow simulations for the parent company and its subsidiaries, two or three months in advance, which is currently an extremely important tool,
  • unified approach to banks in Slovenia and abroad,

  • computer-assisted system for the management of cash flows of the parent company and all its subsidiaries,
  • centralised collection of available cash through cash pooling.

In addition, the Group/Company has credit lines at its disposal both in Slovenia and abroad, the size of which enables the Group to meet all its due liabilities at any given moment.

Successful cash flow planning or estimating the decrease in inflows due to the decrease in sales, enabled us timely or good liquidity forecast and optimal cash flow management at the Group level. A strong liquidity position also allows us to settle all liabilities on the due date.

The majority of financial liabilities arising from long-term and short-term loans are held by the parent company, which also generates the majority of revenue.

*Liabilities arising from commodity forward contracts entered into for purchasing purposes represent contractual cash outflows based on these contracts. At the same time, the Group/Company will receive corresponding payments based on offsetting commodity contracts entered into for selling purposes.

** A maximum amount of contingent liabilities is allocated to the period in which the Company can be requested to make a payment.

Foreign exchange risk

As far as foreign exchange risks are concerned, the Group/Company is mostly exposed to the risk of changes in the EUR/USD exchange rate. Petroleum products are generally purchased in US dollars and sold in local currencies.

The Group hedges against the exposure to changes in the EUR/USD exchange rate by fixing the exchange rate in order to secure the margin. The hedging instruments used in this case are forward contracts entered into with banks. There was no need to change the exchange rate hedging system at the time of the epidemic and the fall in oil prices.

Given that forward contracts for hedging against foreign exchange risks are entered into with first-class Slovene banks, the Group/Company considers the counterparty default risk as minimal.

The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risks also due to its presence in South-eastern Europe. Considering the low volatility of local currency exchange rates in South-eastern markets and the relatively low exposure, the Group/Company believes it is not exposed to significant risks in this area. To control these risks, we rely on natural hedging to the largest possible extent.

In the first three months of 2021, the Group/Company was also exposed to certain other currencies (RON) and used forward contracts entered into with banks as a hedging instrument.

Exposure to the exchange rates on other markets where the Group/Company is present with its companies is either smaller or their rates against the euro are significantly less volatile. We estimate that the change in the exchange rate would not have a significant impact on the operating profit.

The Group/Company regularly monitors its open currency position and sensitivity based on the VaR method for all currencies to which it is exposed.

An unfavourable change in any currency pair by 10 percent would decrease net profit by a maximum of EUR 2,036,386, with the EUR/BAM currency pair being treated as fixed.

Price and volumetric risk

The Group/Company is exposed to price and volumetric risks deriving from energy commodities. The Group/Company manages price and volumetric risks primarily by aligning purchases and sales of energy commodities in terms of quantities as well as purchase and sales conditions, thus securing its margin. Depending on the business model for each energy commodity, appropriate limit systems are in place that limit exposure to price and volumetric risks.

The Group/Company hedges energy commodity prices primarily by using derivatives. Partners in this area include global financial institutions and banks or suppliers of goods. The Group/Company considers the counterparty default risk as minimal.

Interest rate risk

The source of interest rate risks are loans with a floating interest rate that are mostly Euribor based.

In the first three months of 2021, the Group/Company continued to monitor exposure to changes in net interest expense in the case of interest rate changes.

The exposure to interest rate risks is hedged using the following instruments:

  • partly through ongoing operations, the Group's/Company's interest rate on operating receivables being Euribor-based,
  • partly through interest rate swaps and
  • funding with a fixed interest rate.

The Group/Company uses hedge accounting on interest rate swaps. Hedged items and hedging instruments represent an effective hedging relationship, which is why interest rate risk hedging outcomes are recognised directly in equity.

Capital Adequacy Management

The main purpose of capital adequacy management is to ensure the best possible financial stability, solvency and maximum shareholder value. The Group/Company achieves this also through stable dividend pay-out policy.

Testifying to our financial stability are the »BBB-« credit rating received from S&P at the end of June 2014 and the successful international issuance of eurobonds worth a total of EUR 265 million, which were fully repaid in 2019. On 9 April 2021, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services reaffirmed the »BBB-« long-term credit rating and the »A-3« short-term credit rating of Petrol d.d., Ljubljana, also reaffirming the »stable« credit rating outlook.

In the first three months of 2021, despite the impact of the epidemic, the Petrol Group continued to pursue its strategic orientation to drive down financial debt and to maintain the net debt to equity ratio at the 2020 level through good operating performance.
