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

2.1. Vision, mission and values

2.2. Key strategic objectives

The strategy for the period 2021 to 2025 is a core corporate document in which the future development and strategic policies of the Telekom Slovenije Group are defined through its mission, vision, values and strategic objectives. The Telekom Slovenije Group is implementing its established strategy in 2021 in accordance with adopted strategic policies. The strategic business plan is updated every year taking into account conditions in the sector and across the globe.

Strategic objectives of the Telekom Slovenije Group

Leader in user experience

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

Digitalisation of operations

Accelerated digitalisation via the optimisation and automation of processes improves the efficiency of operations, and will thus remain an integral part of future business activities to ensure the competitiveness of the Telekom Slovenije Group.

Growth in ICT services

Growth in ICT services and solutions will be based on the existing superior LTE/4G network, and the opportunities offered by fifth generation (5G) mobile networks. 5G technology will facilitate the development of the smart industry and smart cities, as well as the introduction of virtual campus networks, which in turn will enable the continued digitalisation of various verticals, such as energy, transportation, logistics, industry, smart cities, healthcare, and protection and rescue (public safety). The Telekom Slovenije Group will ensure the digitalisation of society as a whole on that basis. Growth will be

achieved through organic growth and the consolidation of the Slovenian ICT market.

Maintaining the level of revenues from the core activity in Slovenia

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

Consolidation on individual markets

The European telecommunications market is experiencing the intensive consolidation of the sector, the merging of operators and a changing portfolio of services on the one hand, and the entry of new competitors on the ICT market on the other hand, which will further impact the operations of operators. The consolidation activities of Telekom Slovenije will focus on acquiring new competences, and on entering new markets and new areas.

Optimal employee structure

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

Financial stability

We are implementing activities that facilitate the effective management of liquidity and ensure a high level of financial stability. We ensure the optimal level of debt over the long term, where the value of the Company is most important.

Responsibility to the environment and society

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

Changes in the Telekom Slovenije Group in 2021

There were no changes in the period January to March 2021.

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

3.2. Operating highlights

The Telekom Slovenije Group achieved the following in the period January to March 2021:

  • The Telekom Slovenije Group generated EUR 157.5 million in operating revenues in the period January to March 2021, a decrease of 6% relative to the revenues generated during the same period in 2020.
  • Net sales revenue amounted to EUR 156.8 million. The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting sales revenue in 2021 due to lower revenues from the roaming of users in the networks of foreign operators and roaming by foreign users in our mobile networks, and due to lower revenues from international voice services. Having the most significant impact on lower revenues are IT licences, which result in lower costs on the other hand. Revenues are also declining due to the optimisation of subscribers who have an increasing number of services included in their monthly subscription fee, while revenues from traditional telephony have been declining for several years. Sales revenue was up relative to the same period last year at the subsidiary IPKO.
  • The Telekom Slovenije Group's operating expenses totalled EUR 143.5 million, a decrease of 5% or EUR 8.2 million relative to the same period in 2020.
  • Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to EUR 14.0 million in the period January to March 2021, a decrease of 10% or EUR 1.5 million relative to the same period last year. Taking into account one-off effects in 2020, EBIT was 16% higher in 2021 relative to the same period last year.
  • Earnings before interest, taxes, amortisation and depreciation (EBITDA) totalled EUR 55.7 million at the Telekom Slovenije Group level, a decrease of 3% relative to the first quarter of 2020. Taking into account one-off effects in 2020, EBITDA was 3% higher in 2021 relative to the same period last year. The EBITDA margin (i.e. EBITDA as a proportion of sales revenue) was 35.5% at the Group level.
  • Following the calculation of income tax (including deferred taxes), the Telekom Slovenije Group generated a net profit of EUR 9.7 million during the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of EUR 1.6 million relative to the same period in 2020. Taking into account one-off effects in 2020, net profit was 8% higher in 2021 relative to the same period last year.
  • Despite the challenges in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Telekom Slovenije Group is financially stable. In that context and given conditions on the market, it is adapting its business activities to the changing circumstances and closely monitoring and assessing risks in connection with supply chains, credit risk, the functioning of systems and the profitability of individual services, while adopting the appropriate measures.

3.7. Risk management

Key risks are presented below by Telekom Slovenije Group company.

TELEKOM SLOVENIJE

Strategic risks

  • In terms of strategic risks, Telekom Slovenije faces competition, regulatory effects and pricesensitive users, and the migration of voice traffic to OTT platforms. Users demand an increasing number of high-quality services at a low price. The Slovenian market is saturated, which means less manoeuvring room for attracting new users. The management of such risks requires the regular implementation of activities to ensure competitiveness, control over regulatory measures, a targeted and active market approach, the provision of high-quality and readily available services, the continuous adaptation of business solutions and the portfolio, and the introduction of the latest developments for specific groups and segments of users.
  • In the area of strategic risks, activities are also being carried out on the retail market due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including an adapted portfolio of services and a separate approach for the user segment. A programme is being implemented to maintain subscribers. Sales of telemedicine and eCare services have risen during the pandemic, which is opening new opportunities to support users in changing operating conditions. The Company is adapting activities to the reduced scope of operations in certain sectors, which is affecting the implementation of some planned projects for business users. Sales of services and products through digital channels are being promoted. The restricted movement of the population and travel limitations have reduced the number of foreign users who roam in Telekom Slovenije's mobile network, while the number of Telekom Slovenije users in the networks of foreign operators is also down. Measures include the monitoring of the sales margin of international wholesale services, and the proactive search for new destinations and new revenues. The closure of points of sale had a significant impact on merchandise sales, resulting in the adaptation of some points of sale that operated as pick-up points. Purchases during this period shifted to a great extent to the digital environment. Telekom Slovenije is focusing on the user, for whom it facilitates the integration and accessibility of content and applications.

Financial risks

  • Telekom Slovenije regularly monitors the dynamics of the financial environment that reflect the various types of risks to which the Company is exposed in its operations. The Company actively monitors liquidity, credit and interest-rate risk, while various financial risk management models and derivatives are used to reduce exposure to specific types of risks.
  • Liquidity risk is managed through the regular management and planning of cash flows by ensuring the appropriate maturities and the diversification of financial debt, and through financing within the Group and the optimisation of working capital and cash. The Company manages cash flows using liquidity reserves in the form of short-term credit lines. Also in progress is the raising of a long-term loan, a larger portion of which will be earmarked for the refinancing of issued bonds, while the remainder will be used for other investments. A comprehensive approach to managing liquidity risk and measures implemented in other areas of operations mean that the COVID-19 pandemic is not having a significant impact on the Company's liquidity. To that end, additional measures were adopted to optimise costs and mitigate the effects of the pandemic on the Company's cash flow. In managing liquidity, we follow a conservative approach and ensure the best possible composition of sources of financing. We carefully monitor the economic situation and business factors, including the dynamics of received payments.
  • Credit risk is managed by the Company through the active monitoring of the operations of customers and their credit ratings, and by limiting maximum allowable exposures. The Company further hedges against the risk of the deteriorating financial position of customers through credit insurance and by regularly monitoring the appropriateness thereof. Monitoring of the settlement of contractual obligations and the active recovery of past-due debt are also elements of the system tool used for credit risk management, while Telekom Slovenije regularly monitors credit exposure to customers. There has been no significant deterioration in the structure of receivables during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • The Company also hedges against interest-rate risk by concluding interest-rate swaps. Fixed or

hedged interest rates account for 65.0% of interest-bearing financial liabilities at the Company level.

• Telekom Slovenije manages credit risk in connection with receivables from loans to subsidiaries by including various collateral instruments in loan agreements, while it regularly monitors the operations and liquidity of subsidiaries. If the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will have a negative impact on subsidiaries' ability to service their loans, activities will be implemented with the aim of refinancing loans or amending loan repayment schedules.

Regulatory and compliance-related risks

  • Regulatory risks derive from changes to the regulatory framework and policies, and potential decisions of the regulator regarding the imposition of additional obligations or changes in prices in individual market segments.
  • Currently being drafted is the new Electronic Communications Act (ZEKom-2), which will transpose the European Electronic Communications Code (EECC). Telekom Slovenije is participating in the drafting of that act through constructive expert proposals in the scope of a working group. At the European level, the Digital Services Act (DSA) package is currently the subject of public consultations. That package includes proposed new and amended rules for the strengthening of the Single Market for digital services.
  • On 18 December 2020, the Agency for Communication Networks and Services (AKOS) published a decision regarding the organisation of a public tender with a public auction for the allocation of radio frequencies for the provision of public communication services to end-users in the 700 MHz, 1500 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2300 MHz, 3600 MHz and 26 GHz radio frequency bands. During the public opening of bids, the tender committee determined that four complete tenders were received in a timely manner. The public auction began on 7 April 2021 and was completed on 16 April 2021. Telekom Slovenije secured the radio frequency spectrum in the 700 MHz FDD band, 700 MHz SDL band, 1500 MHz band, 2100 MHz band, 3600 MHz band and 26 GHz band.
  • The risk associated with personal data protection derives from the large scope and categories of personal data that Telekom Slovenije processes as the leading operator in Slovenia. Of significance with regard to that risk is the application of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (General Data

Protection Regulation or GDPR) and sectoral legislation, in particular the Electronic Communications Act (ZEKom-1), where the GDPR brought stricter regulation and increased the awareness of both users and the general public regarding the protection of the data, while sectoral legislation sets out the specific obligations of Telekom Slovenije in individual areas of operations. Telekom Slovenije ensures compliance through the continuous monitoring, updating and improvement of personal data processing and internal control processes for personal data protection. It also monitors the drafting of new regulations in the area of personal data protection at the national level (e.g. the ZEKom-2, ZVOP-2 and ZEISZ) and EU level (where the e-privacy directive is being coordinated by EU bodies) that will impact the processing of data during the provision of the Company's services.

  • The new ZGD-1K was published on 9 February 2021 and entered into force on 24 February 2021. Activities are being carried out to implement changes.
  • In its operations, Telekom Slovenije complies with valid legislation, as well as decisions and aspects of sectoral regulations and other competent bodies. Regulatory risks are managed through organisational and procedural measures in the Company's operations, through constructive dialogue, by putting forth opinions, comments and suggestions in public consultations regarding drafts of general and specific laws issued by the regulator, and by taking legal action against issued regulatory decisions, whenever that is justified.
  • Remote operations and measures necessary to control the pandemic bring new challenges in personal data protection. At the same time, increased access to data regarding users via digital communication channels offers numerous opportunities for adapted solutions or new business models, in which all legal requirements are complied with in full.

Operational risks

  • Telekom Slovenije gives a great deal of attention to managing ICT-related operational risks. These risks are controlled through the management and development of all subsystems, and by improving operational efficiency, processes and staff, while supporting new business opportunities. Risks in the area of security are managed through the continuous development and implementation of the security policy, by identifying security threats and vulnerabilities, and by spreading the security culture to employees and users.
  • The Company adopted a plan of measures and activities in response to the impact of the

COVID-19 pandemic. That plan also takes into account national measures and adapts all activities accordingly with the aim of ensuring business continuity, while protecting the health of users and employees to the greatest extent possible. The Company also ensures compliance with all security and preventive measures with the aim of protecting the health of employees and ensuring remote work where the latter is possible.

  • Telekom Slovenije also faces risks associated with recruiting and retaining key employees, as it is increasingly difficult to recruit qualified candidates with specific knowledge and retain employees with crucial expertise due to market conditions and increased demand for professionally qualified personnel. The Company focuses on the systematic development of employees and career planning, the internal transfer of knowledge, the introduction and implementation of advanced development-training programmes and ensuring employee motivation and remuneration systems. By providing scholarships to young people, the Company offers them the opportunity to make contact with the latest technologies and top experts, and facilitates their further development.
  • As an operator and employer, we responsibly adopt measures to protect employees, users and other stakeholders, and to ensure the continuous functioning of services, which for many represent the only form of communication in a period of limited social contacts.
  • Telekom Slovenije manages risks in connection with procurement processes through a centralised procurement function, a standard process for the implementation of procurement procedures and a methodology for assessing the risk of cooperation with suppliers. The Company monitors compliance with contractual provisions. The Supplier Code falls into this category of activities. The Rules on the procurement of goods and services are being updated, while activities are being implemented to provide new information support for the procurement process.
  • The Company ensures the timely supply of equipment and services in the context of increased communication with suppliers due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and ensures an appropriate buffer stocks of strategic materials. A system is in place with at least two sources of supply due to possible supply disruptions and delays.

AVTENTA

• Risks in connection with achieving planned revenues are managed through a competitive portfolio and the development of digital solutions.

• Risks in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in delays in the implementation of projects and the reduced scope of new projects.

GVO

  • Risks associated with rising prices of construction services are managed by adapting the organisation of work and processes.
  • Risks in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic are affecting operations in terms of the implementation of investment and maintenance works, and due to the limited resources of subcontractors.

SOLINE

  • Weather-related risks are tied to the risk of a loss of salt production due to adverse weather conditions, as salt production is a seasonal activity. The operations of Soline are being adapted to climate change via new sales programmes, while the infrastructure is also being adapted with the help of the Climate Plan of the Republic of Slovenia.
  • Changes to the concession agreement on the management of the Sečovlje Salina Nature Park can have a significant effect on the company's business model. The company is in the process of obtaining the necessary authorisations to extend the existing salt-mining concession, which expires at the end of 2021.
  • Risks in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic are having a negative effect on the company's operations, as part of the retail sales network is closed, while part of that network is operating according to an adjusted schedule. Salt production is being carried out in two shifts due to safety measures.

TSinpo

  • Risks in connection with achieving planned sales of other market services relate to falling demand and pressure from the competition. Currently in progress at the company are active sales via online communication and the adaptation of scanning and packing services to market requirements.
  • Risks in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic are having a negative effect on the company's operations due to declining demand and the postponed market launch of products. The company is communicating actively with customers, while activities for finishing transactions are also being implemented.

TSmedia

  • Risks in connection with achieving planned revenues are managed by entering into annual contracts and by monitoring revenues. Promotional prices are being developed to address existing customers and new potential advertisers with an increased scope of work and services. A selection was made of sales lines adapted to specific advertisers.
  • Risks associated with the sale of the company are managed through a conservative approach to the disclosure of documentation regarding operations, and through the appropriate organisation of processes and the motivation of employees.
  • Risks in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in the reduced number of advertising campaigns. The company is attracting new customers through direct marketing, new forms of advertising and campaigns to promote advertising, and by creating joint projects with end-advertisers.

IPKO

  • The company responds to the risk of the loss of users and revenues in the segment of fixed and mobile services due to unfair competition through the active adaptation of its portfolio and the appropriate market approaches.
  • There are risks in connection with the introduction of RLAH for the countries of the Western Balkans on 1 July 2021 and the loss of revenues from roaming. The company will file a request for a surcharge in accordance with the fair use regulation.
  • Risks in connection with programme broadcasting rights are managed through the constant monitoring of software content and regular communication with partners.
  • The risk of additional investments relating to the shift from an aerial to an underground infrastructure is managed through cooperation with Kosovo Energy Distribution Services (KEDS) and other operators for an optimal solution.
  • The company filed a lawsuit before the Constitutional Court at the end of 2020 in connection with the management of risks associated with the payment of additional fees for the use of the infrastructure in municipalities.
  • There are risks associated with a change in legislation and the interpretation thereof. The company expects that the new public procurement act will be in line with EU directives.
  • The company has hired a tax consultant and is working with tax authorities in connection with risks associated with compliance with tax legislation governing licence fees for the broadcasting of channels and tax on other rightof-use licences.
  • Risks in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic are having an additional impact on operations, as travel is limited, while measures have been adopted at the national level. The company is adapting its operations with the aim of ensuring business continuity and the availability of services. The company is intensively marketing services via online media.

5. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN THE PERIOD JANUARY – MARCH 2021

FIRST QUARTER OF 2021

JANUARY

  • At the 32nd General Meeting of Shareholders of Telekom Slovenije, d. d., which was held on Thursday, 21 January 2021, shareholders adopted proposed changes to the Articles of Association of Telekom Slovenije, d. d. and adopted the consolidated text thereof. The General Meeting of Shareholders recalled member of the Supervisory Board and shareholder representative Igor Rozman, and elected Iztok Černoša, Aleksander Igličar, MSc, Marko Kerin and Radovan Cerjak to serve fouryear terms of office as members and shareholder representatives, effective 22 January 2021.

  • After setting up the first national fifth-generation (5G) mobile network last year, Telekom Slovenije facilitated the first 5G mobile roaming this January. Subscribers to Telekom Slovenije's mobile services can thus roam in the 5G network of the Austrian operator Hutchison Drei Austria. The name of the network is written as '3 AT' or 'Drei'.

FEBRUARY

  • Telekom Slovenije received a lawsuit on 1 February 2021 due to alleged breaches of contractual obligations. The value of the claim is less than 5% of capital, which represents a contingent liability with no impact on the financial statements of the Company and Group. Telekom Slovenije responded to the lawsuit in a timely manner and assesses that the plaintiff will be unsuccessful in the dispute in question.
  • After being closed from 24 October 2020 to 9 February 2021, Telekom Slovenije's points of sale reopened on 10 February 2021. We ensure the weekly testing of employees at Telekom centres, where we implement all necessary protective measures.
  • On 11 February 2021, Telekom Slovenije's Supervisory Board elected Iztok Černoša to serve as its President. Barbara Kürner Čad, as shareholder representative, and Drago Kijevčanin, as employee representative, were

appointed Vice-Presidents. Given the changes to the composition of the Supervisory Board, the latter's committees were also reconstituted.

  • On 10 December 2020, the Company announced the initiation of the merger of Avtenta with Telekom Slovenije, a process that was expected to be completed on 1 April 2021. The merger was not carried out by the planned deadline. The Company will notify shareholders about further activities.
  • Telekom Slovenije facilitated cloud gaming via the NEO platform, which has brought an entirely new experience to Slovenian homes in terms of managing TV content through voice control functionality.
  • For the Biathlon World Championships in Pokljuka, Telekom Slovenije provided rapid and reliable communications via the fixed and mobile networks, including the latest generation 5G mobile communications. Pokljuka was thus the first biathlon world championship site where organisers, competitors and media outlets had internet access via the 5G network at their disposal.
  • The Slovenian Consumers' Association named the Naj 5G mobile package, which provides subscribers the fastest mobile internet with speeds of up to 450/100 Mbit/s, the best package in the category of subscriber and prepaid packages with unlimited calls and messaging.

MARCH

  • On 2 March 2021, Telekom Slovenije was notified by the Ljubljana District Court of a lawsuit filed by T-2 for the payment of ordinary damages in the amount of EUR 12,195,656, payment for lost profit in the amount of EUR EUR 35,760,909 and the non-existence of claims in the amount of EUR 1,778,033 with appertaining amounts. The aforementioned claim represents damages that the plaintiff allegedly incurred in the period 1 September 2018 to 31 July 2020. Telekom Slovenije believes that the plaintiff's lawsuit will be rejected in full.
  • At its session held on 10 March 2021, Telekom Slovenije's Supervisory Board concluded an agreement with the President and three members of the Company's Management Board on the termination of their employment contracts and their recall from those positions.

Accordingly, the terms of office of the President of the Management Board Tomaž Seljak, MSc and members Dr Vida Žurga, Matjaž Beričič, MSc and Tomaž Jontes were terminated, effective 10 March 2021. The Supervisory Board appointed Cvetko Sršen to serve as new President and Dr Mitja Štular and Tomaž Jontes to serve as members of the Management Board. Their terms of office began on 10 March 2021.

  • At its session held on 22 March 2021, Telekom Slovenije's Supervisory Board appointed Barbara Galičič Drakslar to the function of member of the Management Board. Her fouryear term of office began on 31 March 2021.
  • Key to the future success of companies will be digitalisation, which allows employees to work from anywhere. The establishment of a secure and reliable ICT environment that facilitates remote work remains a challenge for many companies. For this reason, Telekom Slovenije

has developed a solution that represents something entirely new on the Slovenian market and that responds to such needs. That solution entails comprehensive IT services, including the leasing of devices and equipment for specific workplaces, tools to improve efficiency, the IT management of implemented solutions and IT assistance and support.

• Telekom Slovenije has published changes to its financial calendar for 2021. Those changes include the dates of the publication of the annual report of the Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije for 2020, the corporate governance statement, the convening of the Company's 33rd General Meeting of Shareholders, the Company's 33rd General Meeting of Shareholders, the resolutions of the Company's 33rd General Meeting of Shareholders and the payment of dividends.

6. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE

SECOND QUARTER OF 2021

APRIL

  • Telekom Slovenije received a decision from the Supreme Court of the Republic of Slovenia on 24 March 2021 in the administrative dispute with the Competition Protection Agency (CPA) due to the alleged abuse of the Company's dominant position on the inter-operator market. In its decision, the Supreme Court partially ruled in favour of Telekom Slovenije's request for review and overruled the contested judgement of the Administrative Court of 9 January 2018 in the part rejecting Telekom Slovenije's claim. In that part, the Supreme Court overturned the contested judgement and returned the matter to the court of first instance for retrial. That matter involves the reversal of the CPA's decision no. 306-23/2013-151 of 2 February 2015. In accordance with the Supreme Court's ruling, the aforementioned decision is no longer partially final.
  • In the period 1 April to 11 April, when stricter measures were in place at the national level in order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, our points of sale remained open due to the regular weekly testing of employees. During that period, certain Telekom centres operated according to adjusted or reduced working hours. As of 12 April, Telekom centres once again operate according to the usual schedule.
  • Two and a half years after Telekom Slovenije achieved a new milestone and became one of the first in the world to present a solution that allows TV viewers to manage content via voice commands in Slovene instead of using a traditional remote control, the NEO platform is now used by 100,000 users, with the voice control of content becoming increasingly popular. Users gave 8.6 million voice commands in March of this year (of which 185,000 were different commands), which translates to an average of 126 voice commands a month per user.
  • At a public auction for the allocation of radio frequencies for the provision of public communication services to end-users, Telekom Slovenije secured the radio frequency spectrum in the 700 MHz FDD band, 700 MHz SDL band, 1500 MHz band, 2100 MHz band, 3600 MHz band and 26 GHz band, for which it will pay a total of EUR 52,078,177.00. During the auction, Telekom Slovenije secured the planned frequency spectrum required to provide private users, companies and operators that roam in its

network the most advanced services and solutions in the future, with the best user experience.

  • Telekom Slovenije has developed a comprehensive range of smart city solutions for sustainable living and the improved quality of life of the inhabitants of cities and communities. Using those solutions, cities and communities can monitor emissions and water loss, improve energy efficiency, ensure the smart management of parking lots and traffic flows, provide smart lighting, etc. To that end, Telekom Slovenije also set up a free public WiFi network in all major Slovenian cities in the scope of the WiFi4EU project.
  • On 3 May 2021, Telekom Slovenije received the decision of the Slovenian Competition Protection Agency (AVK) with which AVK informs it that the procedure of establishing a violation of Article 9 of the Prevention of Restriction of Competition Act (ZPOmK-1) and Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU; formerly Article 82 of the Treaty establishing the European Community) has been stopped. AVK launched the procedure on 19 March 2009 against Mobitel and continued the procedure against Telekom Slovenije as its legal successor. AVK launched the procedure following because of alleged abuse of dominant position on the retail market for mobile telephone services by leading a pricing policy of indirectly or directly setting unfair retail prices of its Itak Džabest price plan. On 13 February 2012, AVK issued a decision, determining that Telekom Slovenije did violate ZPOmK-1 and TFEU by offering the retail price plan Itak Džabest at unfair prices between November 2008 and July 2010, as the incremental revenue was lower than the incremental costs. Telekom Slovenije, d.d., lodged a lawsuit at the Supreme Court of the Republic of Slovenia against the decision, and on 26 November 2013 it ruled in favour of Telekom Slovenije returning AVK's decision back to AVK for a new procedure. AVK issued a decision on 22 April 2021 on stopping the procedure with the explanation that it did not manage to obtain evidence on the existence of a predatory exclusionary strategy of Telekom Slovenije the repeated procedure.

7. CONDENSED INTERIM ACCOUNTING REPORT OF THE TELEKOM SLOVENIJE GROUP AND TELEKOM SLOVENIJE, D. D. FOR THE PERIOD JANUARY TO MARCH 2021

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

The condensed financial statements for the period ending 31 March 2021 were compiled in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and must be read together with the financial statements and disclosures compiled for the 2020 financial year. The financial statements for the period January–March 2021 and the comparable period January–March 2020 are unaudited, while the financial statements for the comparable period ending 31 December 2020 are audited.

The financial statements of the Group and Company were compiled under the assumption that both are going concerns. Operations are not seasonal.

Changes in accounting policies

The accounting policies used in the compilation of the interim condensed financial statements are the same as those applied in the compilation of the financial statements for the financial year ending 31 December 2020.

Use of significant estimates and judgements

The compilation of the financial statements requires of management certain estimates, assessments and assumptions that affect the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the statement of financial position date and the amount of revenues and expenses in the period ending on the statement of financial position date.

Future events and their impact cannot be determined with certainty. Accounting assessments therefore apply a judgement subject to change taking into account new events, experiences and additional information, and as the result of changes in the business environment. Actual values may vary from estimates.

Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which estimates are revised, and in all future years affected by such revisions.

Changes in the Telekom Slovenije Group

There were no changes in the composition of the Telekom Slovenije Group in the period January to March 2021.

Coronavirus pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic hit Europe and the rest of the world in 2020, affecting the population and companies alike.

The Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije verified the need for the impairment of assets and liabilities in 2020 during the pandemic and determined that additional impairments were unnecessary. There was also no reduction in or waiving of lease payments in connection with IFRS 16 Leases.

Segment reporting

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

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

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

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

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

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

The sales revenue of the Telekom Slovenije Group amounted to EUR 156.8 million in the period January–March 2021, a decrease of 6% relative to 2020.

National measures in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic contributed to lower revenues.

Revenues were higher in the mobile segment of the end-user market, primarily on account of higher revenues from mobile merchandise at Telekom Slovenije. Revenues were also up relative to the same period last year at the subsidiary IPKO. The decline in revenues at Telekom Slovenije related to people not crossing national borders due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which in turn resulted in lower revenues from the roaming of users in the networks of foreign operators. Revenues are also declining due to the optimisation of subscribers who have an increasing number of services included in their monthly subscription fee.

Revenues were lower in the fixed segment of the end-user market, primarily due to lower sales of IT licences, which simultaneously reduces costs, and due to a decline in revenues from traditional voice telephony, as the result of the falling number of traditional connections and their replacement with mobile and IP telephony.

Revenues from financial services, energy, eHealth services and insurance are recorded in additional services. Revenues from eHealth services were up in 2021, while revenues from other services were down.

Revenues on the wholesale market were lower than in 2020, primarily due to lower revenues from international voice services and the roaming of foreign users in our mobile networks.

Other revenues and merchandise were down relative to 2020 due to lower revenues on account of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rental income

The Telekom Slovenije Group generated rental income in the amount of EUR 2,156 thousand during the first quarter of 2021, compared with EUR 2,731 thousand during the same period last year.

Telekom Slovenije generated rental income in the amount of EUR 2,352 thousand in that period, compared with EUR 2,971 thousand during the same period last year.

Revenues from the roaming of users in the networks of foreign operators and roaming by foreign users in our mobile networks were lower during 2021 due to the pandemic, as were revenues from international voice services, which also resulted in lower costs of telecommunication services. The costs of leased lines, networks and platforms were also slightly lower.

The costs of services of sub-contractors were lower, primarily due to lower sales of IT licences.

The costs of other services primarily comprise the costs of advertising and sponsorships in the amount of EUR 1,721 thousand (January–March 2020: EUR 1,770 thousand), the costs of intellectual and personal services in the amount of EUR 1,543 thousand (January–March 2020: EUR 1,518 thousand), the costs of insurance premiums in the amount of EUR 704 thousand (January–March 2020: EUR 759 thousand) and the costs of other services in the amount of EUR 2,213 thousand (January–March 2020: EUR 2,367 thousand).

Level 1: fair value is determined by directly quoting an officially published price on an active market;

Level 2: other techniques for determining fair value based on assumptions with a significant impact on fair value that are in line with current observable market transactions with the same instruments, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: other techniques for determining fair value based on assumptions with a significant impact on fair value that are not in line with current observable market transactions with the same instruments.

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

7.3. Financial risk management

The financial risks to which the Telekom Slovenije Group is most exposed in its operations are credit risk, shortterm and long-term solvency risk and interest-rate risk. The Telekom Slovenije Group assesses exposure to specific types of financial risks and implements measures to control those risks based on their effects on cash flows and the income statement.

Presented below are the most significant financial risks that the Group regularly assesses in accordance with the relevant policy. It also verifies the appropriateness of measures to manage those risks.

Credit risk

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

Maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying amount of financial assets.

TOTAL 182,996 171,718 233,106 238,826

The Group ensures an appropriate level of diversification in the placement of financial assets. Concentration risk is therefore low.

Credit risk or the risk of counterparty default derives from default by subscribers (retail) and by operators (wholesale). The highest exposure to credit risk is seen in trade receivables. The latter amounted to EUR 150,593 thousand as at 31 March 2021, a decrease of EUR 12,343 thousand relative to the end of 2020. Telekom Slovenije's receivables make up the majority of the Group's trade and other receivables. The majority of receivables are unsecured. The Group's receivables are accounted for by a large number of individuals and legal entities. Its largest customers are operators, where turnover generally flows in both directions, which reduces net credit exposure. We assess that there is no significant concentration of credit risk vis-à-vis a particular customer or economic sector.

Procedures aimed at the management of receivables are implemented at Group companies and include the monitoring of business partners' credit ratings, the monitoring of high-traffic subscribers and debt collection activities. Debt collection activities are carried out by companies according to a predefined timetable (reminders and disconnections) and via specialised external service providers. Prior authorisation is required at Telekom Slovenije for the entry into and amendments to subscriber agreements and for the deferred payment of merchandise purchases. Larger Group companies have implemented a Fraud Management System (FMS) as an additional credit risk management measure, while Telekom Slovenije, which has a large number of post-paid subscribers, has also introduced a Credit Management System (CMS).

Credit risk is assessed as manageable on account of procedures introduced to manage receivables.

The Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije also monitor credit risk in other areas of operations. Cash on accounts is allocated according to the principles of minimising risks and achieving the appropriate diversification by banks. The associated risk is low, as there is no major risk associated with maintaining cash on accounts due to the stability of the banking system and the high liquidity of banks.

The Group is also exposed to risks associated with receivables arising from loans to employees and investments in short-term deposits. The risk associated with loans granted is low, as those loans are repaid for the most part when employees' wages are paid, while the risks associated with other investments are mitigated through the appropriate diversification of investments and by monitoring the credit ratings of individual banks.

Telekom Slovenije is also exposed to credit risk in connection with receivables from loans to subsidiaries.

The Company manages risks associated with borrowers' failure to fulfil their obligations through the use of various collateral instruments in loan agreements, such as the establishment of liens on real estate and moveable property, the assignment of existing and future receivables, liens, declarations of surety and other appropriate forms of collateral. The Company also regularly monitors and supervises the operations of subsidiaries to further mitigate the associated risks.

Liquidity risk

The Group's solvency is the result of the active planning and management of cash flows, ensuring the appropriate maturities and the diversification of financial debt, financing within the Group, and the optimisation of working capital and cash. Liquidity risk at the Group level is managed by the parent company, which plans and monitors subsidiaries' financing needs, and provides them the sources they require.

Debt is relatively low at the level of the Group and Company. The majority of the financial liabilities of the Group relate to a long-term syndicated loan in the amount of EUR 215.4 million, five-year bonds in the amount of EUR 100 million, and finance lease liabilities in the amount of EUR 68.1 million at the Group level and EUR 76.0 million at the Company level. The Group and Company regularly repay their liabilities from financing.

For the purpose of ensuring a high level of liquidity, the Group has open short-term credit lines at banks that are rolled over as required.

Interest rate risk

Interest-rate risk is the risk of the negative effect of a change in market interest rates on the Group's operations. The Group's exposure to interest-rate risk as at 31 March 2021 derives from a potential change in the EURIBOR reference interest rate linked to interest-sensitive liabilities. The target ratio of financial liabilities with a variable interest rate to financial liabilities with a fixed or hedged interest rate that the Group and Company pursue is 50% of liabilities with a fixed or hedged interest rate.

Liabilities from loans raised with variable interest rates tied to the 6-month EURIBOR accounted for 52.6% of the Group's interest-bearing financial liabilities and 51.6% of the Company's interest-bearing financial liabilities as at 31 March 2021. The remaining liabilities are accounted for by short-term loans, issued bonds and a finance lease with a fixed interest rate.

The Group and Company entered into an interest-rate swap in the amount of 50% of two of three loan tranches with the aim of hedging exposure to interest-rate risk as the result of a long-term syndicated loan with a final repayment deadline of 31 December 2025. The amount of the secured principal stood at EUR 69.2 million as at 31 March 2021. By hedging interest-rate exposure through the use of an interest-rate swap (IRS), the Group and Company hedge future cash flows against the risk of rising interest rates. The principal is hedged against a rise in the reference interest rate if the latter is higher than or equal to zero. Fixed or hedged interest rates account for 64.3% of interest-bearing financial liabilities at the Group level and 65.0% at the Company level.

The table does not include financial instruments that do not bear interest or instruments bearing a fixed interest rate, as the latter are not exposed to interest-rate risk. Financial liabilities whose interest rate is hedged against a rise in the EURIBOR are also not included.
