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

2.1. Vision, mission and values

2.2. Key strategic policies

The Strategic Business Plan for the period 2020 to 2023 is the Group's core corporate document. Defined in that document through its mission, vision, values, objectives and strategy are the Telekom Slovenije Group's future development and strategic policies, which pursue the objectives of the UN's declaration on sustainable development (Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development). The document includes the future business strategy of the Group, which comprises the parent company Telekom Slovenije, and its subsidiaries in Slovenia and abroad.

Key strategic policies of the Telekom Slovenije Group

The Telekom Slovenije Group operates on markets that are subject to accelerated consolidation within specific countries and between them, making competition even fiercer. We will counter this trend by focusing on the key strategic policies presented below.

1. Maintaining the level of revenues from the core activity in Slovenia

We will maintain the number of users in the fixed and mobile segments in Slovenia through a portfolio of comprehensive services for smart living, and through the development of a unique experience tailored to the user, which will be based on a simple user experience and superior network, inspiring services, cutting-edge solutions and a caring approach to users.

2. New revenue sources

We will strengthen our core activity and increase our share of household and corporate budgets, and strengthen user loyalty by expanding to other areas that are important to users.

3. Maintaining a superior network

Through planned investments in reliable, secure and high-quality technologies, we will maintain our position as the leading provider of the most advanced technologies and next-generation networks, and communication, security, information, multimedia and advertising services.

4. Simplification of processes, products and platforms

The Group will continue to optimise business processes, and restructure its products, portfolio and information systems with the aim of enhancing its ability to adapt dynamically to the demands of users through understandable and simple-to-use solutions.

5. Consolidation on individual markets

We will continue to implement consolidation activities in the future where this is in line with established strategic objectives, either through expansion or divestment on the markets where we operate.

6. Optimal staffing structure

The achievement of established objectives from the Strategic Business Plan is only possible by ensuring the optimal number of employees, taking into account the needs of the work processes of individual Group companies, and through the development of employees' competences.

7. Financial stability

We will implement activities that will facilitate the effective management of liquidity and ensure a high level of financial security. We will ensure the optimal level of debt over the long term, at which the value of the Company is highest.

8. Quality

Quality is and will remain the primary comparative advantage of our services. We will continue to provide users the most advanced and highest-quality ICT solutions and other services. The key tools to ensuring consistent quality are well-maintained quality management systems, verified business excellence models and the consistent implementation of initiatives to ensure an excellent user experience.

9. Social responsibility

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. As the leading national operator, and as a development and future-oriented company, we are aware of our social responsibility. The principles of sustainable development are therefore built into our operations, products, services and content, while we also responsibly manage the economic, social and environmental impacts of our operations.

  • Net sales revenue totalled EUR 168.6 million, a decrease of 2% relative to the same period in 2019. Revenues in the mobile and fixed segments of the end-user market were lower during the first quarter of 2020 (primarily due to lower revenues from mobile merchandise, IT services and licences). Other revenues, revenues from other merchandise, new revenue sources and revenues on the wholesale market were all up relative to the same period last year.

During the first weeks of the crisis, measures adopted at the national level affected Telekom Slovenije, d. d.'s net sales revenue in the retail segment (primarily in the mobile and fixed segment, IT services and merchandise) and in the wholesale segment (international operations), as well as the revenues of certain Group subsidiaries due to the stagnation of transactions on the market.

3.7. Risk management

Key risks are presented below by Telekom Slovenije Group company.

TELEKOM SLOVENIJE

Strategic risks

  • Telekom Slovenije faces competition, regulatory effects and price-sensitive users on the domestic market. Users demand an increasing number of high-quality services at a low price. The market is becoming increasingly saturated, which means less manoeuvring room for attracting new users. The management of such risks requires the regular performance 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, the adaptation of the portfolio, and the introduction of the latest developments for specific groups and segments of users.
  • With respect to strategic risks, we have closed all Telekom centres across Slovenia and directed users to digital channels due to the impact of the coronavirus. We are implementing additional activities for users on the retail market that include the expansion of TV-programme schemes and additional mobile data transfer quantities, and responding to the reduced operations of business users, which could impact the scope of projects. Network charges for electricity customers were cut in accordance with the Slovenian government's ordinance, while we are promoting the sale of products and services via digital channels.

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 planning and management 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. Short-term imbalances in cash flows are managed through short-term revolving loans from banks, while the Company also has long-term reserve credit lines as an additional element of financial security.
  • 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 pastdue debt are also elements of the system tool used for credit risk management.
  • The Company also hedges against interest-rate risk by concluding interest-rate swaps. Fixed or hedged interest rates account for 60.4% 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 coronavirus will have a negative impact on subsidiaries' ability to service their loans, Telekom Slovenije will initiate activities aimed at refinancing loans or amending repayment schedules.

Regulatory and compliance-related risks

  • Regulatory risks remain high for Telekom Slovenije and derive from changes to the regulatory framework and policies, and from the potential decisions of the regulator regarding the imposition of additional obligations or changes in prices in individual market segments.
  • Taking into account the initial planned public auction of a portion of the 700 MHz radio frequency band for fifthgeneration (5G) mobile networks, as well as the draft strategy for the management of the radio frequency spectrum published by the AKOS, the Company continues to identify risks associated with the conditions of that public auction, requirements regarding the use of frequencies, excessively high auction prices, and other conditions associated directly or indirectly with the requirements of the public auction of frequencies. All of that could affect the possibility of acquiring the tendered radio frequency spectrum for the provision of electronic communications services. The strategy for the management of the radio frequency spectrum has yet to be adopted (the most recent proposal of the AKOS is from November 2019).
  • The EU directive establishing the European Electronic Communications Code (EECC) was adopted at the end of 2018. That directive includes measures for stimulating competition and investments in very high-capacity electronic communications networks and covers various areas of electronic communications. The deadline for

the transposition of that directive into national law is two years from its entry into force. The EU Council also adopted the BEREC regulation, the aim of which is to provide aid to Member States for the expansion of very high-capacity electronic communications networks, and for the ongoing and consistent application of the regulatory measures set out in the aforementioned code.

  • The risks associated with personal data protection derive 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, which entered into force on 25 May 2018 and brought stricter regulation and increased awareness regarding the protection of the data of our users and the general public. Telekom Slovenije ensures compliance with the requirements of the aforementioned regulation through the continuous monitoring, updating and improvement of personal data processing and internal control processes for personal data protection. We also monitor the drafting of new regulations. Currently being drawn up are the Personal Data Protection Act (ZVOP-2) and the Electronic Identification and Trust Services Act (ZEIZS). The EU's new ePrivacy Regulation is also being coordinated by stakeholders (EU institutions and Member States). That regulation will affect data processing as it relates to the provision of electronic communications services.
  • 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.
  • Due to the impact of the coronavirus, we are transacting with users remotely and ensuring that they receive information regularly. To that end, we are closely monitoring discussions regarding the use of user data at the disposal of operators, in terms of the possible implementation of measures to limit the spread of the coronavirus.

Operational risks

  • Telekom Slovenije gives a great deal of attention to managing operational risks associated with ICT networks, services and devices, and to the management and development of employees in this area. The complexity of comprehensive management is increasing due to the development of technologies and ICT services, and the growing demands of applications and devices. Telekom Slovenije manages this risk through the development of DSS and OSS, by improving operational efficiency and by providing support for new business opportunities. Operations support systems (OSS) are and will continue to be a key differentiating factor between operators on the B2C, B2B and wholesale markets. One objective of the OSS strategy in the period until 2023 is to ensure that the Telekom Slovenije Group has one of the most effective, most responsive and most flexible OSS, including a high level of automation in operational processes. That automation shortens the time of processes, and reduces the number of participants in processes, the number of errors in processes, and operational costs.
  • In terms of ensuring business continuity, Telekom Slovenije ensures the necessary capacities of the ICT infrastructure and services, and of transmission, backbone and access segments. The risks associated with the malfunctioning of connections and services provided by other entities are managed by introducing processes to monitor and report on SLA indicators on leased networks, and by standardising requirements vis-à-vis network providers for newly leased networks. The Company implements updates and increases capacities through redundancy in those network segments where it has identified increased functional and security-related risks.
  • In the area of ICT security, Telekom Slovenije continuously develops systems for monitoring technologies and anomalies in the ICT infrastructure and services, and conducts internal and external penetration testing. A Cyber Security Operation Centre has been established. Risks are managed through the implementation of the security policy, by identifying security threats and vulnerabilities, and by spreading the security culture to employees and users.
  • Telekom Slovenije faces certain challenges with regard to SAP ERP application, including the upgrading of the system to a new version (s4Hana). Operational processes must be analysed, and amended/adapted as required.
  • We have also identified risks in connection with the conditions of the multi-frequency public auction for fifthgeneration (5G) mobile networks, requirements regarding the use of frequencies, the level of prices and other related conditions of the public tender. All of that could affect the possibility of acquiring the tendered radio frequency spectrum for the provision of electronic communications services. Activities are in progress at the Company, with a team of internal and external experts to prepare for the auction. A strategy for the management of the radio frequency spectrum has yet to be adopted in Slovenia.
  • 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 risks associated with suppliers. The Company monitors compliance with contractual provisions. The Supplier Code falls into this category of activities. A comprehensive supplier assessment is performed. The

objective of risk management is to ensure a smooth supply process and to contribute to the Company's competitive advantages.

  • Telekom Slovenije also faces risks associated with retaining employees, as it is increasingly difficult to recruit and retain qualified employees due to market conditions and increased demand for professionally qualified personnel, in particular ICT experts. In order to manage the risks associated with retaining employees, the Company focuses on systematic development and career planning, the transfer of knowledge and training, and thus ensures motivational remuneration systems.
  • Based on the business continuity management system (BCMS), which is in place in the event of emergencies and certified in accordance with the ISO/IEC 22301 standard, we adopted preventive measures and a special plan of measures and activities in the event of a pandemic. We also planned activities in the event of the activation of the National Civil Protection and Disaster Relief Plan. In accordance with the BCMS, Telekom Slovenije, d. d. is prepared for and capable of ensuring key services and processes, even in emergencies.
  • The business continuity management system serves as a tool for establishing organisational resilience and responding effectively. In addition to concern for employees, another key function of that system is to protect the interests of our business partners, users and other stakeholders. Due to the impact of the coronavirus, activities include priorities such as ensuring quality, security, control over capacities and the supply of additional HW, ensuring coordination between external and internal stakeholders, the motivation of employees, ensuring work from home or the availability of employees on-the-job where this is required, ensuring the implementation of activities in connection with permanent changes and defining priorities on a daily basis, i.e. 24/7.

AVTENTA Avtenta manages risks in connection with achieving planned revenues through a competitive portfolio and customer relationship management. Further affecting operations is the declaration of the coronavirus epidemic, which has resulted in the reduced scope of projects. GVO Risks associated with rising prices of construction services are managed by adapting the organisation of work and processes. The declaration of the coronavirus epidemic has affected operations, as the implementation of investment and maintenance works is limited. PLANET TV Risks associated with the management of liquidity are very high. The company is undergoing business and financial restructuring. Further affecting operations is the declaration of the coronavirus epidemic, as the scope of previously approved advertising campaigns has been reduced or campaigns cancelled. The company is promoting advertising in the Slovenian media through professional associations. SOLINE The risk of poor weather conditions is constantly present, as this is a seasonal activity. An extended period of sunny weather and a dry wind are crucial for the traditional production of sufficient quantities of salt. Further affecting operations is the declaration of the coronavirus epidemic, as the sale of products is limited due to the closure of the company's own stores, the SSNP and points of sale of business partners, and due to lower foreign demand. TSinpo Risks associated with HR management and workplace safety are managed by maintaining the appropriate employee structure. Further affecting operations is the declaration of the coronavirus epidemic, which has resulted in lower demand for and the reduced production of cardboard sleeves, and postponed sales of other programmes. TSmedia Risks in connection with achieving planned revenues are managed by entering into annual contracts and through bundling marketing. Further affecting operations is the declaration of the coronavirus epidemic, as the scope of previously approved advertising campaigns has been reduced or campaigns cancelled. The company is promoting advertising in the Slovenian media through professional associations. IPKO

IPKO 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.

  • The company remains exposed to the risk of higher costs due to the setting of prices for the payment of copyright fees for the broadcasting of programmes via the cable network.
  • IPKO manages the risk of the loss of revenues in connection with roaming through negotiations and its range of retail products and services.
  • Risks associated with sales activities are managed through a conservative approach to the disclosure of documentation regarding operations and through the required organisation of operations for the implementation of processes and employee motivation.
  • Further affecting operations is the declaration of the coronavirus epidemic, as public life and the operations of certain companies in Kosovo are subject to lockdown. IPKO is attempting to redirect users to services via the internet and has activated a business continuity management team. As part of its package of measures, the government adopted a resolution under which public procurement legislation does not apply to the telecommunication services provided by Telekom Kosova.

The Company is planning to secure the aforementioned funds from the European Investment Bank, which demonstrated interest in the form of a non-binding offer. Telekom Slovenije will use those funds in the period until 2023 to finance the expansion and construction of the fibre optic access network in Slovenia, through which it is laying the infrastructure foundations for the future of the telecommunications activity.

7. CONDENSED INTERIM ACCOUNTING REPORT OF THE TELEKOM SLOVENIJE GROUP AND TELEKOM SLOVENIJE, D. D. FOR THE PERIOD JANUARY TO MARCH 2020

7.1. Introductory notes

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 provisions of the Companies Act, the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).

The condensed interim financial statements for the period ending 31 March 2020 were compiled in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The financial statements for the period January–March 2020 and the comparable period January–March 2019 are unaudited, while the financial statements for the comparable period ending 31 December 2019 are audited.

The financial statements are compiled on a going concern basis and 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 2019.

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 the assets and liabilities of the Group and Company, 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 in which the Group and Company operate. 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.

During the reporting period, Telekom Slovenije changed the useful lives of modems and GPON interfaces installed in the fibre optic network. Before that change, the useful life of the aforementioned equipment was four years; the new useful life is five years. Depreciation was down by EUR 157 thousand during the reporting period due to the change in useful lives. The Company decided to change useful lives due to the lower number of failures of modems and GPON interfaces on the fibre optic network, as the rate of failure due to power surges before the end of the associated depreciation period is significantly lower on the fibre optic network than on the copper network.

All items in the financial statements of the Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije are disclosed in euros, rounded to thousand euro units.

Segment reporting

The Telekom Slovenije Group has two operating segments. Segment reporting is based on the internal reporting system used by management in the decision-making process. Two geographical regions are defined as operating segments for which the Group reports: Slovenia and other countries. The criterion for segment reporting is the registered office where an activity is performed.

Segment reporting is based on the basic financial statements of the Telekom Slovenije Group. Sales transactions between segments are executed at market values. Intra-group transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process, and included in eliminations and adjustments.

The Telekom Slovenije Group does not disclose finance income and costs by segment, as the Group's financing is centralised and conducted at the level of the parent company.

Fair value hierarchy

The following hierarchy was used in recognising and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments using a valuation technique:

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

Fair values are compared with carrying amounts in the table below. The table contains data regarding classification to hierarchy levels for financial instruments.

7.2. 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.

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 142,434 thousand as at 31 March 2020, an increase of EUR 1,278 thousand relative to the end of 2019. 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 collateralisation of receivables, 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. 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 the risk of borrowers' failure to settle their obligations through the use of various collateral instruments in loan agreements, while it regularly monitors the operations and liquidity of subsidiaries. If the effects of the coronavirus will have a negative impact on subsidiaries' ability to service their loans, Telekom Slovenije will initiate activities aimed at refinancing loans or amending repayment schedules.

The Company's senior management assesses the credit quality of the above-stated financial assets, which were not impaired or overdue as at 31 March 2020, as good.

Solvency risk

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

The Telekom Slovenije Group has long-term credit lines at banks, which together with short-term revolving loans ensure a high level of liquidity within the Group. Short-term credit lines are regularly rolled-over, while total liquidity reserves in the form of undrawn short-term and long-term credit lines at banks amounted to EUR 150 million as at 31 March 2020.

Debt is relatively low at the level of the Group and Company. The majority of the financial liabilities of the Group and Company relate to a long-term syndicated loan in the amount of EUR 246.2 million, five-year bonds in the amount of EUR 100 million, and finance lease liabilities in the amount of EUR 68.3 million at the Group level and EUR 75.9 million at the Company level as the result of the implementation of IFRS 16. The Group and Company regularly repay liabilities from financing.

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 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 and finance leases with variable interest rates tied to the 3- and 6-month EURIBOR accounted for 59.4% of the Group's interest-bearing financial liabilities and 57.6% of the Company's interestbearing financial liabilities as at 31 March 2020. The remaining liabilities are accounted for by drawn short-term revolving loans (at the Company level), issued bonds and a finance lease with a fixed interest rate.

The Group and Company entered into an interest-rate swap with the aim of hedging exposure to interest-rate risk as the result of a long-term syndicated loan. The amount of the secured principal stood at EUR 76.9 million as at 31 March 2020. 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 59.2% of interest-bearing financial liabilities at the Group level and 60.4% at the Company level.

Capital management

The key objectives of managing the capital of the Group and Company are ensuring capital adequacy and thus long-term solvency and financial stability in an attempt to secure the best possible credit rating for the financing of operations, and ensuring the continued development of the Group and Company, and thus the achievement of the highest possible value for shareholders.

The Group and Company use the net financial debt to equity and equity to total assets ratios to monitor changes in capital. The Group's net financial debt includes loans received and other financial liabilities, less current financial assets and cash and cash equivalents. The Group also complies with the financial commitments set out in loan agreements when making decisions regarding the management of capital.
