BUSINESS REPORT

Operations of the Petrol Group

The Petrol Group operates in a competitive environment influenced by oil price fluctuations, US dollar exchange rate, global and domestic economic developments, and national laws governing the pricing of energy products. In January and February 2020, the operations in all of the Petrol Group's markets continued without disruption. In March 2020, however, the business environment deteriorated considerably in the Petrol Group's markets as the pandemic began. 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, have a long-term focus so that the Petrol Group can operate without interruption in a very different business environment. Apart from certain restrictions (reduced working hours at some service stations), there has been no disruption in the energy-product supply. At the end of August, the epidemiological situation began to deteriorate once more, worsening even further in the months that followed (for more information, see section Impact of the pandemic on the Petrol Group's operations).

The Petrol Group's sales revenue for the first nine months of 2020 stood at EUR 2.3 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 30 percent. This was mainly due to lower prices and a drop in petroleum product sales resulting from movement restrictions introduced by governments to contain the pandemic and from the economic downturn the pandemic had caused. Adjusted gross profit stood at EUR 301.9 million, which was 13 percent less than in the first nine months of 2019. EBITDA totalled EUR 114.4 million or 25 percent less than in the first nine months of 2019.

Figure 7: EBITDA broken down by activity

Net profit for the first nine months of 2020 totalled EUR 40.5 million and was down 49 percent year-on-year.

In the first nine months of 2020, the Petrol Group sold 2.3 million tons of petroleum products, a year-on-year decrease of 21 percent (mostly as a result of the pandemic and lower sales to the Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for Commodity Reserves). In Slovenia, the nine-month sales of petroleum products stood at 1,007.8 thousand tons, accounting for 44 percent of the Petrol Group's total sales. In the same period, the Petrol Group sold 562.3 thousand tons of petroleum products in SE Europe markets, representing 25 percent of the Petrol Group's total sales, and 714.7 thousand tons in EU markets, which represented 31 percent of the Petrol Group's total sales.

At the end of September 2020, the Petrol Group's retail network consisted of 510 service stations, of which 318 were in Slovenia, 110 in Croatia, 42 in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 15 in Serbia, 15 in Montenegro and 10 in Kosovo.

In the first nine months of 2020, EUR 345.2 million was generated in revenue from the sale of merchandise and related services, a decrease of 3 percent compared to the same period of the previous year.

In the first nine months of 2020, the sales of natural gas stood at 19.9 TWh, a year-on-year increase of 29 percent.

What follows is a detailed presentation of the Petrol Group's operations in the first nine months of 2020 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 solutions, consisting of energy solutions for the public and commercial sector, energy solutions for the industry and apartment buildings, heat systems and natural gas distribution
  • C. Production of renewable electricity
  • D. Mobility

A. SALES

In the first nine months of 2020, the Petrol Group's revenue generated in the sales segment stood at EUR 2.2 billion.

Sales of petroleum products

In the first nine months of 2020, the Petrol Group sold 2.3 million tons of petroleum products, a year-on-year decrease of 21 percent. In all of the Petrol Group's markets this was mainly the result of movement restrictions introduced by governments to contain the pandemic and the economic downturn the pandemic had caused. In the period concerned, the Petrol Group did, however, perform well with regard to the sales of extra light heating oil, thanks to affordable prices.

In Slovenia, 1.0 million tons of petroleum products were sold in the first nine months of 2020, a year-on-year decrease of 20 percent.

In SE Europe markets, 562.3 thousand tons of petroleum products were sold in the first nine months of 2020, a year-on-year decrease of 8 percent.

In EU markets, 714.7 thousand tons of petroleum products were sold in the first nine months of 2020, a year-on-year decrease of 30 percent. The most important item sold in EU markets is diesel fuel.

Key impacts on operations

Fuel pricing in Slovenia

The prices of petrol and diesel fuel at motorway and expressway service stations have been liberalised and are determined by the market, while the prices of petrol and diesel fuel at other service stations remained regulated until 30 September 2020.

Since 1 October 2020, the prices of all petroleum products have been liberalised and are now determined by the market.

Until 31 March 2020, the prices of regulated motor fuels were set in accordance with the Decree on Setting Prices for Certain Petroleum Products which was in force from 1 January 2020 onwards. On 27 March 2020, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia adopted a new Decree on Setting Prices for Certain Petroleum Products, which remained in force until 30 September 2020. The pricing method for regulated petroleum products remained unchanged also under the new decree. The model-based margin was still government-regulated and stood at EUR 0.08701 per litre of NMB-95 petrol and EUR 0.08158 per litre of diesel fuel.

Slovenia's gross margins for petroleum products, which used to be, under the model in place until 30 September 2020, set at a fixed amount and did not reflect changes in retail prices, were still below European average in the period from January to September 2020. In the case of petrol, they amounted to 51 percent of the average gross margin in the EU countries (44 percent if the compulsory stocks membership fee is not taken into account) and in the case of

diesel fuel to 43 percent (37 percent if the compulsory stocks membership fee is not taken into account) (own calculations based on Platt's and Oil Bulletin data).

Fuel pricing in Croatia

Since 20 February 2014, when the Oil and Petroleum Products Market Act entered into force and fully liberalised the pricing of petroleum products, the prices of petroleum products in Croatia have been set freely and determined by the market.

Fuel pricing in Bosnia and Herzegovina

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the prices of petroleum products were not government-regulated in the first quarter of 2020. They were set freely and were determined by the market. They could also change on a daily basis. Due to the free setting of prices, retail fuel prices varied according to the location of a service station. Between 9 April and 20 August 2020, the free setting of prices of oil and petroleum products was abandoned and the gross motor fuel margin was limited: the retail margin could not exceed EUR 0.128 per litre and the wholesale margin could not be more than EUR 0.031 per litre. Since 20 August 2020, the margin is no longer limited and the prices are set freely and determined by the market.

Fuel pricing in Serbia

Since the legislation liberalising Serbia's oil market (unregulated imports of oil and petroleum products) entered into force on 1 January 2011, the prices of petroleum products have no longer been government-regulated and are set freely and determined by the market.

Fuel pricing in Montenegro

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. In addition to market oil prices and changes in the exchange rates of the euro and the US dollar, the methodology used to calculate selling prices takes into account taxes, the costs of transhipment, handling, bank charges, storage, transport and distribution, as well as (excise) duties and an oil companies' gross margin. The latter amounts to EUR 0.063 per litre of petrol, EUR 0.064 per litre of eurodiesel and EUR 0,076 per litre of extra light heating oil. In addition to these gross margins, liquid fuel traders may factor in all of the above costs at EUR 0.05 per litre of petrol, EUR 0.05 per litre of eurodiesel and EUR 0.026 per litre of extra light heating oil.

Fuel pricing in Kosovo

In Kosovo, retail and wholesale prices of petroleum products are not government-regulated. Only in the case of sales of petroleum products to government institutions and state-owned companies are prices set in accordance with a prescribed methodology, which takes into account average monthly market prices, changes in the exchange rate of the euro and the US dollar, logistics costs and a maximum margin. These prices represent an unofficial basis for retail prices, which change according to market-based fuel prices.

Changes in oil and petroleum product prices in the world market

The average price of Brent Dated North Sea crude oil stood at USD 41.1 per barrel in the first nine months of 2020 and was down 36 percent year-on-year whereas the average price in euros decreased by 37 percent year-on-year. In the period concerned, the price of Brent crude peaked on 6 January 2020, reaching USD 70.0 per barrel. Its lowest price was recorded on 21 April 2020 at USD 13.2 per barrel. The prices of petrol and middle distillates followed the same trends as crude oil prices.

Before the pandemic, oil prices per barrel ranged from USD 45 to USD 70. The pandemic, however, which 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. In May, the prices began to recover but they still remain considerably lower than in last year. Future oil price movements will continue to depend largely on OPEC's oil output agreements, relations between the United States and Iran 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.

Changes in the US dollar to the euro exchange rate

The US dollar to the euro exchange rate ranged between 1.07 and 1.20 US dollars per euro in the first nine months of 2020. The average exchange rate of the US dollar according to the exchange rate of the European Central Bank stood at 1.13 US dollars per euro in the period concerned.

Sales of merchandise and related services

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 345.2 million in revenue from the sale of merchandise and related services in the first nine months of 2020, a decrease of 3 percent compared to the same period of the previous year.

In Slovenia, EUR 285.1 million was generated in revenue from the sale of merchandise and related services in the first nine months of 2020, a decrease of 3 percent compared to the same period of the previous year. 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 60.0 million was generated in revenue from the sale of merchandise in the first nine months of 2020, which was on a par with the same period of the previous year. The best results were achieved in tobacco 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 nine months of 2020, the Petrol Group generated EUR 25.5 million in revenue from the services related to oil and merchandise sales, down 7 percent compared to the same period of 2019.

Sales of liquefied petroleum gas

In the first nine months of 2020, the Petrol Group sold 114.3 thousand tons of liquefied petroleum gas, a year-on-year decrease of 17 percent.

At the end of September 2020, 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

In the first nine months of 2020, the Petrol Group sold 19.9 TWh of natural gas, a year-on-year increase of 29 percent.

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.

In the first nine months of 2020, the Petrol Group sold 15.7 TWh of electricity, which was on a par with the same period of 2019.

B. ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS

In the first nine months of 2020, the Petrol Group generated EUR 40.8 million in revenue from the sale of energy and environmental solutions.

These comprise energy supply linked to the systems of energy and environmental management of buildings, water supply systems, efficient lighting systems, heat systems and natural gas distribution.

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.

In the first nine months of 2020, the Petrol Group sold 83.6 thousand MWh of heat, a year-onyear decrease of 14 percent.

At the end of September 2020, the Petrol Group operated 30 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 nine months of 2020, the Petrol Group distributed 782.7 thousand MWh of natural gas, a year-on-year increase of 5 percent.

C. PRODUCTION OF RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY

In the first nine months of 2020, the Petrol Group generated EUR 5.4 million in sales revenue in the area of renewable electricity production.

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.

In the first nine months of 2020, the Petrol Group generated EUR 65.2 thousand MWh of electricity.

D. 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, corporate car sharing and short-term leasing, and door-to-door services provided by 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 September 2020, we operated 126 standard and 46 fast charging points in Slovenia and Croatia, with another fast charging point also in operation in Montenegro. In the first nine months of 2020, slightly more than 506 MWh of electricity were delivered at the charging points. A contract was signed with the City of Zagreb to set up 54 new charging points in the city as part of the Urban-E project.

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. The fleet management service is also being developed.

In 2020 we continue our work on all three international projects, for which EU grants were received.

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.

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.

Employees

On 30 September 2020, the Petrol Group had 5,230 employees, of which 35 percent worked for subsidiary companies abroad. The number of employees decreased by 45 compared to the end of 2019.

Figure 10: Changes in the number of employees of the Petrol Group and at third-party managed service stations in the period 2017 – 2020

Employee structure

At the end of September 2020, the average age of the Petrol Group employees was 39 years. 59 percent of employees were male and 41 percent female.

The educational structure of the Petrol Group has been improving over the years. This is a result of employee training on the one hand and HR policy on the other. Newly hired employees with higher education thus improve the educational structure, while at the same time employees with lower education leave the company. The Petrol Group has a keen interest in training its employees, as knowledge represents one of Petrol's key competitive advantages.

Training

In the first nine months of 2020, the Petrol Group provided close to 54 thousand teaching hours of training (with over 15 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, yet some is also carried out live in accordance with the guidelines of the National Institute of Public Health and internal recommendations prepared by Petrol's specialist services. We carried a survey of employee well-being during the pandemic and drew up improvement action plans based on its results.

Investments

In the first nine months of 2020, net investments in property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and long-term investments stood at EUR 46.4 million (as opposed to EUR 84.3 million in the first nine months of 2019). Out of the above amount, 33 percent was allocated to sales in Slovenia, 23 percent to energy and environmental solutions, 18 percent to sales in SE Europe, 10 percent to the upgrading of information and other infrastructure, 9 percent to renewable electricity production, and 7 percent to mobility.

The quality management system

Quality and excellence are an integral part of Petrol's strategy, which is why we are constantly upgrading and expanding our quality management systems. The company Petrol has thus certified its 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

In September 2020, a recertification audit of the quality management system and of the environmental management system (ISO 9001 and 14001) was performed at Petrol d.d., Ljubljana. The ISO 9001 and 14001 certificates will be renewed for three years. The second part of the surveillance audit of the ISO 50001 energy management system was also carried out.

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.

In the humanitarian campaign Become Petrol's School Friend we filled school bags with school supplies and donated them to socially disadvantaged families, in collaboration with the Association of Friends of Youth Ljubljana Moste-Polje. In September, we organised the traditional corporate volunteering campaigns in which Petrol's volunteers helped various institutions to do landscape work, painting, repairs and cleaning. All activities were held outdoors, and the recommendations of the National Institute of Public Health were observed and protective measures implemented.

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 2018 – 2022 strategy, the Petrol Group has adjusted its business objectives according to its risk management policies and its risk appetite.

Entered into the Companies Register of the District Court of Ljubljana; Company Registration Number: 5025796000; Share capital: EUR 52,240,977.04, VAT ID: SI80267432 23/73

In the first nine months of the year, the main challenge was managing and mitigating the negative effects of the pandemic, with most risk management activities also focusing on this issue.

As a first step, measures were taken to provide for the safety and health of employees and customers as well as to ensure a continued supply to businesses. Later on our priorities included ensuring sufficient liquidity of the Petrol Group, as a result of which major investments were suspended when deemed feasible and reasonable. Additional attention was given to credit risk management as an increased risk of defaults by our customers was to be expected.

A report on the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the Petrol Group's operations and risk management is available in section Impact of the pandemic on the Petrol Group's operations.

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 Petrol 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. Because the global oil market and the US dollar market constitute two of the most volatile global markets, the Petrol 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 financial instruments, in particular commodity swaps in the case of price risks and forward contracts in the case of foreign exchange risks.

Trading in electricity exposes the Petrol 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 actively pursue the collection of receivables, a process which has intensified even more this year. We refine procedures for approving the amount of exposure (limits) to individual buyers and try to maintain the range of first-class credit insurance instruments as a requirement to approve sales (receivables insurance with credit insurance companies, bank guarantees, letters of credit, collaterals, corporate guarantees, securities, mortgages, pledges). This year, this is proving to be a significant challenge. At the beginning of 2020, the Petrol Group introduced a new insurance scheme for keeping track of the Petrol 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 age, region and organisational unit as well as by quality, level of insurance and individual customer. The exposure of customers in the Petrol Group's portfolio to the credit risk is monitored at a global level. 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 significant drop in economic activity, companies were faced with liquidity shocks leading to our customers having a higher credit risk. At the Petrol Group, we have responded immediately to the estimated increase in the credit risk by introducing daily monitoring of the structure of receivables, by closely monitoring the indicators of increased risk and by engaging in intensive communication with our customers. As the restrictions were relaxed, the overall monitoring of the structure of receivables became less intense as we switched to weekly monitoring, but the balance of receivable is still subject to daily and close monitoring at the operational level for all Petrol Group companies.

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, the vast range of credit insurance instruments and a higher volume of secured receivables. 66 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 85 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 24 June 2020. 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. We are currently introducing relevant S&P's methodology into the management of liquidity risks.

In the first nine months of 2020, average petroleum product prices were considerably lower year-on-year, meaning that less working capital was needed. Through existing long-term and short-term credit lines we were able to ensure the liquidity of the Petrol Group also during the pandemic which we were faced with at the end of the first quarter of 2020. In the second quarter, we gained access to additional credit lines from domestic and foreign banks, and we are ready to face a liquidity situation which might weaken should the COVID-19 epidemic be declared once more and cause an economic downturn. The additional credit lines will enable us to ensure appropriate liquidity structure of the Petrol Group in accordance with S&P criteria also in this situation.

To maintain liquidity, we also began to actively prepare sensitivity analyses and draw up shortterm liquidity and working capital forecasts.

Cash flow management now requires even more 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. 88.8 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 nine months of 2020 were similar to the ones at the end of 2019. EURIBOR is still historically low (negative). It is a fact, however, that EURIBOR and all interest rates have been rising since the beginning of the pandemic, and the expectations that interest rates will increase have proved to have a very short-term effect as variable interest rate stabilised close to the levels from previous years by the end of the first half of the year.

To hedge against exposure to the interest rate risk, a portion of variable interest rates is transformed into a fixed interest rate using derivative financial instruments, thus protecting our net interest position. When deciding whether to pursue additional hedging activities, forecasts

regarding interest rate changes are considered. The time of hedging and the type of instruments used to this effect are determined based on market conditions. Linked to the renewal of a long-term loan agreement we entered into an additional interest rate hedging contract in the first nine months of 2020 thus covering the entire duration of long-term loans (other than long-term revolving credit facilities) with IRS hedging instruments.

Petrol's shares

At the end of September 2020, share prices at the Ljubljana Stock Exchange were lower than at the end of 2019, which was the result of the coronavirus (COVID-19). 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 846.2 as at the end of September 2020 and was down 8.6 percent relative to the end of 2019 (926.10). During this period, the price of Petrol's shares decreased by 10.4 percent. In terms of trading volume, which in the case of Petrol's shares amounted to EUR 41.3 million between January and September, the shares were ranked second among the shares traded on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange. In terms of market capitalisation, which stood at EUR 701 million as at 30 September 2020, the shares were ranked third and accounted for 11.1 percent of the total Slovene stock market capitalisation on the said date.

In the first nine months of 2020, the price of Petrol's shares ranged between EUR 266 and EUR 394 per share. Their average price for the period stood at EUR 328.67 and their price as at the end of September 2020 at EUR 336.00. The Petrol Group's earnings per share stood at EUR 19.71, with the book value per share amounting to EUR 381.02. Petrol d.d., Ljubljana

Business plan for 2020

The Petrol Group operates in two highly competitive industries – energy and trade. Besides trends in the area of energy and commerce, the Petrol 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 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.

In the first two months of 2020, the Petrol Group's operations continued without disruption and according to plan. The business environment deteriorated considerably, however, as the pandemic began. Already when drawing up the plan at the end of 2019, the Petrol Group was aware of the possibility 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 its direct control and may pose a risk or a threat when it comes to meeting the targets. The following factors were highlighted as the main risks for achieving the 2020 plan:

  • 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.

Because a natural disaster of such magnitude and the resulting economic crisis could not have been predicted, the Petrol Group will not meet its planned operating targets for the current year. In June 2020, the Petrol Group set out to develop a new operating strategy of the Petrol Group for the period 2021 – 2025, which is expected to be adopted in the last quarter of 2020.

The Petrol Group's main business targets for 2020 as set at the end of 2019, i.e. before the onset of the pandemic:

  • Sales revenue of EUR 6.4 billion (5.3 billion with excise duties excluded)
  • Adjusted gross profit of EUR 510 million
  • EBITDA of EUR 214.8 million
  • Net profit of EUR 109.8 million
  • Net debt to equity ratio of 0.4
  • Net debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.7
  • Financial leverage ratio of 30 percent
  • 3.4 million tons of petroleum products sold
  • EUR 467.6 million in revenue from merchandise sales and related services

  • Retail network consisting of 522 service stations
  • More than 5,500 employees

Impact of the pandemic on the Petrol Group's operations

The world is facing a pandemic which also affects the operations of the Petrol Group. In January and February 2020, the operations in all of the Petrol Group's markets continued without disruption and according to plan. In March 2020, however, the business environment deteriorated considerably as the pandemic began. Petrol d.d., Ljubljana has been closely monitoring the situation since the outbreak of the epidemic. When developing measures and putting them into practice, the Petrol Group complies fully, in all of its markets, with the instructions issued by the 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. Apart from certain restrictions (reduced working hours at some service stations), there has been no disruption in the energy-product supply. Moreover, Petrol Group companies have in place action plans to continue to ensure uninterrupted energy-product supply should the situation deteriorate. The Petrol Group adapts its measures to reflect the latest situation in all of its markets.

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 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. The pandemic will have an impact on all of the above factors, which will be reflected in lower economic growth, consumption and production. The most affected sectors include aviation, public and individual transport, tourism and personal services. Due to a decline in demand, oil prices have also decreased significantly.

In its projections published in the World Economic Outlook at the beginning of April 2020, the International Monetary Fund assessed the impact of the pandemic on the global economy which will cause a rise in unemployment, in addition to a drop in GDP. The International Monetary Fund reassessed the impact of the pandemic on the global economy in its projections published in the World Economic Outlook at the beginning of October 2020.

In May 2020, the European Commission also presented the expected impact of the pandemic on the economy in its Spring 2020 Economic Forecast. In its autumn economic forecast published in November (Autumn 2020 Economic Forecast), the European Commission expects the economic activity to contract slightly more than previously thought. It draws attention to the uncertainty surrounding the deterioration of the epidemiological situation in most European countries and the re-introduction of containment measures, which will affect the level of economic activity.

According to the European Commission autumn economic forecast, the prices of Brent oil are projected to be on average USD 42.6 per barrel in 2020 (USD 44.6 per barrel in 2021 and USD 46.4 per barrel in 2022).

In its Summer Forecast of Economic Trends (June 2020), the Institute of Macroeconomic Analysis and Development (IMAD) predicts that Slovenia's GDP will shrink by 7.6 percent in 2020, which will be followed by a recovery in 2021 (4.5-percent growth). In most activities, however, pre-epidemic levels will not be achieved.

In its Autumn Forecast of Economic Trends (September 2020), IMAD predicts a 6.7-percent decline in Slovenia's GDP in 2020, which is slightly less than previously projected. The decline will be followed by a recovery in the next two years, but economic activity will not reach the pre-epidemic level until 2022. The forecasts for Slovenia's main trading partners for 2020 have improved somewhat since June. With the recovery of economic activity and the agreement at the EU level on the financial package for the recovery of the European economy, confidence indicators also improved significantly in the period from May to July. This year's decline in GDP will arise from a fall in value added in a number of sectors, which will be a consequence of a

significant contraction of activity in the first half of the year, particularly in the second quarter. The deep fall in economic activity in the second quarter is expected to be followed by recovery, but it will be gradual and its pace uneven across sectors if the virus is still present and some restrictions remain in place. The uncertainty associated with epidemiological conditions remains high. An uncontrolled spread of the virus and thus the possibility of a major closure of certain activities might cause the GDP to fall even further and in particular slow down and prolong recovery. This year, value added is set to decline the most in the hospitality industry, entertainment and recreation, arts, personal service activities and transportation.

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, have a longterm focus so that the Petrol Group can operate without interruption in a very different business environment.

Ever since the pandemic began, the safety and health of the Petrol Group's employees and customers as well as reliable supply have always been placed first. In a very short period of time, cash desks at all service stations were equipped with protective screens, employees working at the points of sale were given protective equipment, the provision of certain services (the Fresh range, carwashes) where it is more likely that an infection can be passed on was suspended, and we also make sure, at every point-of-sale entrance, that the recommended number of customers who can be simultaneously present in a shop is maintained. With the easing of restrictions, we reintroduced the full range of our services while taking into account the recommendations to prevent the spread of the virus. We encourage the use of On the Go and mBills apps offering contactless payment functionality, and we also deliver items ordered from Petrol's online shop. Due to the worsening epidemiological situation, certain activities (bars, carwashes) were again suspended starting 24 October 2020, in accordance with the Ordinance on the Provisional Prohibition on the Offering and Sale of Goods and Services to Consumers in the Republic of Slovenia.

Ensuring sufficient liquidity is high on the priority list. As far as liquidity management is concerned, drawing on existing credit lines has created a substantial liquidity cushion that helped us cope with tight market conditions in April and May 2020. We have entered into additional agreements with some lenders to build up back-up credit lines. When determining the needs for additional potential debt, we take into account the appropriate net debt to EBITDA ratio. Dynamic liquidity plans are prepared on a daily basis with a time horizon of 3 months.

In the area of credit risk management, we closely follow all procedures of credit insurance companies. The Petrol Group has secured around 80 percent of all receivables which individually exceed a nominal value of EUR 100,000. We monitor customer payments on a daily basis and, where appropriate, adopt measures to reduce credit risk. Despite the negative impact on the economy, payment discipline has not significantly deteriorated so far.

Particular attention was given to HR management, especially to ensuring sufficient staffing levels at the points of sale. Where possible, other employees worked from home, and some were furloughed due to a lower volume of business activity. When the epidemiological situation improved, most employees returned to work. Returning to work was carried out gradually and took place under strict safety measures and protocols. Due to the deterioration of the epidemiological situation, however, more work is again being done from home if the nature of

the work permits. Caring for the health of our employees and customers continues to be a priority.

The investments to be made in 2020 were temporarily limited to the most urgent ones that were necessary to ensure smooth and secure operations. The Petrol Group will decide on the remaining investments in line with the development of business conditions.

Cost optimisation and streamlining of operations have the highest priority as far as the Petrol Group's tasks in the rest of 2020 are concerned. Important activities in this area include analysing best practices in the sector, identifying possible savings and streamlining business processes.

The Petrol Group has experienced a decline in the sale of both petroleum products and merchandise in all of its markets. At the end of March 2020, the Petrol Group already recorded a significant drop in the retail sales of petroleum products and LPG. The negative sales trends continued in the months that followed. In the second quarter, the Petrol Group saw its retail selling volume decrease by 26 percent, but the trend was reversed once the restrictions had been lifted. In the third quarter, the Petrol Group still recorded a 9-percent drop in retail sales compared to the same period of the previous year. Due to the continued worsening of the epidemic and reintroduction of movement restrictions, retail petroleum-product sales are again in decline.

Lower sales of petroleum products are mainly the result of measures taken by countries to contain the pandemic and restrict movement both between countries and local communities. In Slovenia, the epidemic was declared on 12 March 2020 and border crossings with the neighbouring countries were closed on 18 March 2020. Entering from Italy has been severely restricted already since 10 March 2020. On 15 March 2020, a ban and restrictions on public transport and an air traffic ban entered into force. From 30 March to 30 April 2020, restrictions on movement between municipalities (with some exceptions) were in force. At its meeting of 14 May 2020, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia adopted the Ordinance on the revocation of epidemic of contagious disease SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) which started to apply on 31 May 2020. In Croatia, the Petrol Group's second largest market, the epidemic was declared on 11 March 2020. On 19 March 2020, the borders were closed and restrictions on movement between the counties were introduced. Within the counties, movement was regulated as decided by each county. The restrictions on movement were lifted on 11 May 2020.

Already in August, as the epidemiological situation began to worsen again, some countries reintroduced measures to curb the pandemic (mandatory quarantine on arrival from countries with a poor epidemiological situation). In September, but even more so in October, Slovenia and most other European countries faced a second wave of the epidemic. Due to a sharp increase in the number of infections in Slovenia, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia re-introduced measures to contain the epidemic, many of which have to do with movement restrictions, which will again have a negative impact on the Petrol Group's sales. Since 16 October 2020, movement in Slovenia has been restricted to statistical regions. Since 24 October 2020, however, crossing municipal borders has been forbidden again (with certain exceptions). In addition, a ban on the movement of people between 9 pm and 6 am has been put in place (with certain exceptions).

Because it is uncertain how the situation will develop, the Petrol Group prepared different scenarios for operations in 2020. Considering the results achieved so far and current developments, the 2020 operating performance is expected to correspond to the scenarios developed at the onset of the pandemic. The scenarios considered various cases ranging from the possibility that restrictions on movement within countries are lifted in May, but certain restrictions on transit traffic and tourism still remain which have a major impact especially on operations in the summer months, to the possibility that the last quarter of 2020 will again see major restrictions on movement and further deterioration in business conditions as a result of that. We thus expected that the volume of petroleum products sold in 2020 could reach between 83 and 86 percent of the 2019 figure (without the sales to the Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for Commodity Reserves). Given the estimated decrease in sales in the coming months, the streamlining of costs and the adjusted volume of investments, the Petrol Group's EBITDA for 2020 could amount to between 73 and 79 percent of the 2019 EBITDA, or to between 77 and 84 percent of the 2019 EBITDA if one-off events are not taken into account (the 2019 EBITDA does not include the reversal of provisions for lawsuits and penalties relating to procedures ended in 2019, the cumulative effect of which totals EUR 11.1 million).

In Slovenia, which is the Petrol Group's main market, the prices of petroleum products remained government-regulated at most service stations (other than motorway and expressway service stations) until 30 September 2020. The Petrol Group was thus limited in responding to the difficult business conditions through an adequate pricing policy. Since 1 October 2020, the prices of all petroleum products have been liberalised and are now determined by the market. In addition, from 9 April 2020 to 20 August 2020, gross motor fuel margins in Bosnia and Herzegovina were limited to EUR 0.128 per litre (retail margin) and EUR 0.031 per litre (wholesale margin).

Sales revenue and working capital reflect the prices of petroleum products on the basis of current prices in monthly forward contracts until the end of 2020, which constitutes an additional uncertainty because oil price movements in the context of a crisis caused by a pandemic are even more unpredictable than otherwise.

Before the pandemic, the Petrol Group was in a very good business and financial condition. Despite the difficult business conditions, it will continue to pursue its strategic objective of ensuring stable operations also by maintaining an appropriate debt to EBITDA ratio.

The Petrol Group will continue to closely monitor the behaviour of its customers and will adapt its range to reflect market conditions. Uninterrupted energy-product supply will be ensured in all markets.

Events after the end of the accounting period

  • The emergence of the virus and of the global pandemic still affects the operations of the Petrol Group. For more information, refer to section Impact of the pandemic on the Petrol Group's operations.
  • In Slovenia, the prices of all petroleum products have been liberalised since 1 October 2020 and are now determined by the market.
  • With the entry into force of the Act Amending the Trade Act (ZT-1B), merchants are no longer allowed to set opening hours of their points of sale for Sundays and statutory

holidays as from 24 October 2020. Exceptions, however, include shops at petrol stations, in ports providing public transport services, airports, railway and bus stations, and hospitals.

• There were no events after the reporting date that would significantly affect the disclosed operations in the first nine months of 2020.

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 30 September 2020 and separate financial statements of the company Petrol d.d., Ljubljana for the period ended 30 September 2020. 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 12 November 2020.

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 2019.

The financial statements for the period from January – September 2020 are prepared based on the same accounting policies used for the preparation of financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.

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,
  • 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,
  • estimating of the fair value of assets,
  • estimating of the influence in jointly controlled entities,
  • estimate of provisions for litigation,
  • 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

In 2019 the Group/Company changed the presentation of certain items in the statement of profit and loss to ensure better presentation and the comparability of the financial statements with those of other companies in the industry. Because of the change's impact the Group adjusted certain items in the statement of profit and loss for the period of 1 January to 30 September 2019 as reported in the Report of the operations of the Petrol Group and the company Petrol d.d., Ljubljana in the first nine months of 2019 on 15 November 2019, as described in the table below:

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 services and production.

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,
  • mobility.

Energy and environmental services and production consist of:

  • energy and environmental solutions for the public and the commercial sector,
  • energy solutions and industry and apartment buildings,
  • heat systems,
  • distribution of natural gas,
  • production of electricity from renewable sources.

When testing asset impairment indicators, the Group determined that the carrying amount of fixed assets of certain cash-generating unit exceed their fair value and the value in use. Therefore, the Group impaired the value of identified fixed assets as at 30 June 2020 by EUR 5,306,863 based on the internal value assessment and recognised the impairment on the land.

To assess the value of fixed assets of the cash-generating unit, the Group used the discounted cash flow model. Valuation is based on data about the past business performance and assumptions regarding the future operation of the cash-generating unit considering the cash flow forecast for the period from 2020 to 2028 and takes into account the required rates of return after taxes of 12 percent and the expected growth rate of 2 percent for calculation of the residual value.

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 1,623,949. 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 EUR 1,953,943.

When testing investment impairment indicators, the Company determined that the carrying amount of investments in Petrol Crna Gora MNE d.o.o. and Petrol d.o.o. Beograd exceed their fair value and value in use. Therefore, the Company impaired the value of investment in Petrol Crna Gora MNE by EUR 1,937,478 and Petrol d.o.o. Beograd by EUR 1,110,347 based on the internal value assessment.

To assess the value of investments, the Company used the discounted cash flow model. The valuation is based on data about the past operations and assumptions regarding the future

operation of the companies. Future cash flows consider current business performance of the companies without activities related to capital expenditures. Growth rates of residual cash flows are estimated based on the expected inflation rates.

For the calculation of impairment in Petrol Crna Gora MNE d.o.o. the Company used the following assumptions: cash flow forecast for nine years, discounting rate of 12 percent and the expected growth rate of 2 percent for calculation of the residual value.

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 1,623,949. 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 EUR 1,937,478.

For the calculation of impairment in Petrol d.o.o. Beograd the Company used the following assumptions: cash flow forecast for ten years, discounting rate of 11 percent and the expected growth rate of 2 percent for calculation of the residual value.

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 2,394,190. 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 EUR 1,110,347.

28. Financial instruments and risks

This chapter presents disclosures about financial instruments and risks. Risk management is explained in the interim report, in the chapter Risk management.

The impact of the Corona virus pandemic (COVID-19) on the Petrol Group's operations and risk management is reported also in Chapter Impact of the pandemic on the Petrol Group's operations.

Credit risk

In the first nine months of the year 2020 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 with active collection of receivables.

Maximum exposure to credit risk represents the carrying amount of financial assets which was the following as at 30 September 2020:

Liquidity risk

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

We still have a key objective for the Group / Company to successfully manage its liquidity risk in accordance with the guidelines of Standard & Poor's.

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 an extremely important tool at this time;
  • 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 estimating the decrease in inflows due to the decrease in sales, as we have not recorded in the entire history of Petrol, 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.

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. For government-regulated fuels, hedging is performed in accordance with the Group's foreign exchange risk management policies prepared on the basis of the Decree Setting Prices for certain Petroleum Products, whereas for fuels with market-determined prices, internal Rules on the Pricing of Mineral Fuels are used. Foreign exchange hedging is used to hedge against the exposure to changes in the EUR/USD exchange rate. The EUR/USD exchange rate is thus fixed at the rate recognised under the Decree on Setting Prices for Certain Petroleum Products and the internal rules, and the margin is secured. 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 nine months of 2020, the Group/Company was also exposed to certain other currencies (RON, HUF), which were hedged using derivative financial instruments.

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.

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. Potential residual mismatches are hedged with derivative financial instruments. 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 commodity swaps (variable to fixed price swap). 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 nine months of 2020, the Group/Company continued to monitor the limit corresponding to changes in net interest expense.

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 24 June 2020, 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 nine months of 2020, despite the impact of the epidemic, the Petrol Group continued to pursue its strategic orientation to drive down financial debt and to improve the net debt to equity ratio through good operating performance and disposal of non-core assets.
