7.3 Forecast of net revenue from sale of Luka Koper Group in 2017 18

Exopectedly till the end of 2017, the net revenue from sale from market activity of Luka Koper Groupwill exceed the planned revenue from sale by 3 percent and by 8 percent and the achieved revenue in 2016, whilst the revenue from the performance of public utility of regular maintenance destined to public traffic, are expected to be lower tha planned by 72 percent resp. EUR 10.6 million and by 47 percent by generated revenue in 2016. The revenue from the performance of the public utility service of the regular maintenance of the port's infrastructure destined fort he public traffic, will be lower than planned due to the expected lower volume of maintenance than planned, since the plan of the regular maintenance of the port's infrastructure has still not been approved by the Ministry of Infrastructure.

Based on current projections, Luka Koper Group estimates that the net revenue from sale in 2017 will expectedly amount to EUR 210,8 million and will be 2 percent below the planned level, primarily due to the lower volume of the performance of the public utility service of the regular maintenance of the port's infrastructure destined to the public traffic, and at the same time higher by 6 percent than the achieved in 2016. Currently, the company does not estimate other impacts on the net operating profit of the Luka Koper Group, except changes in the volume of throughput and thereby the net revenue from sale.

18 The forecast is based on the current expectations and is subject to risks and uncertainities, which may have have an impact on actual results and may materially differ due to various factors, over some of these Luka Koper Group has no control. These factors include, but they are not necessarily limited to the following: customers' demand and market conditions in markets where operate final consignees of goods, transshiped through the Port of Koper, relevant losses or a decline of key customers' business, political unstability and unfavourable economic conditions in countries of provenance and countries of destination of goods handled in the the Port of Koper, competition pressure to reduce the prices, limited storage capacities due to delayed obtainment of adequate consents from the competent authorities, high occupancy of stacking areas and therefore lower productivity and higher operating cost due to additional shifts of goods, unsufficient entry capacity into the port and thereby the decongestion of the the port, which is affecting the higher operating costs. In case, when one or more risks resp.uncertainties materialize or that the aforesaid assumptions show as incorrect, the actual results may materiall differ from those indicated in the notice as expected, estimated or projected. Luka Koper allows any up-dating or auditing of these forecasts as far as the future developments would differ from the expected.

Likewise, all container shipping companies expand the range of connections to the Port of Koper from/to Asia, and the offer of services from/to Mediterranean countries, which have the highest business potential in the near future.

10 Development activity

In January – September 2017, Luka Koper, d. d., continued development and research activities related to the Port's development, considering the trends of the line of business and long-term plans A relevant activity outlined at the end of 2016, which has been sistematically implemented from 2017, are four strategic programmes following the company's strategic plan from 2015. Strategic programmes comprise a comprehensive range of activities, which include market and infrastructural aspect as well as process and human resources segment in order to provide adequate capacities at all levels. With respect to set strategic goals, the company set up strategic programmes:

  • increase of containers throughput,
  • increase of cars throughput,
  • increase of port's decongestion,
  • increase of containers stuffing and unstuffing, whereby opportunities for the added value logistics exist.

Due to full occupancy of the existing port's capacities, an important emphasis is still put on the faster implementation of the priority infrastructure projects and the opportunities for the obtainment of grants for their financing. The challenges also arise in new technologies, disposal and processing of sediments in order to increase and maintain the port's depths, environmental, energy and safety topics, IT issues and in any case also the novelties in the market area. In the third quarter of 2017, with a view of a better harmonisation of development issues, the company set up the development team, in which various field of expertise take part.

Certain activities, continuing from previous years, were held also in connection to the emphasis of the relevance of a timely construction of the second railway track on the Koper – Divača railway line, since further growth opportunities of throughput and thereby the port's development, logistic activities of the State and the international trade of hinterland countries of Central and Eastern Europe depend on its realisation. In February, the competent authorities successfully applied for the cofinancing under the programme CEF and in March the bill on a rail upgrade, which primarily defines the financing of this project was published, and thereupon a refernedum was held at the end of September, which confirmed the validitiy of the new act which shall introduce a new taxation of the port throughput.

As concerns the European projects, very intensive activities were carried out in the January – September 2017, in particularly as concerns the projects within the programme CEF, whereby Luka Koper, d.d. endeavoured for an optimal use of EU grants for projects with concrete development challenges and infrastructural needs of the port, also in the light of the implementation of EU corridor policy:

  • there were further activities related to the projects NAPA4CORE, GAINN4MOS, Fresh Food Corridors, CarEsmatic and ELEMED (Luka Koper, d.d,. is coordinator in projects NAPA4CORE, Fresh Food Corridors and CarEsmatic).
  • In February 2017, the company tendered with two new project applications Quays4Koper, ConnectingMoS), but despite the very good quality rate of the application, the cofinancing priorities of the Republic of Slovenia and the European Union were in that occasion different and the port's projects were not selected for cofinancing. Most likely, the company will apply once again on the next occasion.

The project RCMS (Rethinking Container Management System) under the programme Obzorje 2020 was completed in January 2017, also the new project SAURON, whic pertains the information security, was approved and the implementation of the project started in May 2017. started to be implemented. was appproved in August 2016. The iplementation of the project will start in May 2017. In the first quarter of 2017, the company was active in submission of several partnership project applications to the two-phases call for proposals of the programme Obzorja 2020, under the priority Ports of the future. The projects Obzorja 2020 are targeted research projects with empahsis on innovative solutions and concepts. Since two applications have been advanced in the second phase, in the previous period the company jointly with other project partners paid attention to the upgrading of project aplications fort he second phase of the call for propsals.

As concerns the projects in the territorial cooperation, where topics are slightly more regionally oriented and the cooperation is softer, with emphasis on the partnership projects, in June 2017 the project TalkNet (programme Central Europe) started up, in September 2017 intensive preparations for the project SecNET (programme Slovenia – Italy), which started in October 2017, began. In the third quarter of 2017, the preparations for three new new projects in the programme ADRION (ADRIPASS, ISTEN, SUPAIR), which are expected to start in January 2018. In March 2017, two partnership applications were submitted for the programme Mediterranean and in June the company received the information that one application was successful fort he application in the second phase, therefero in the third quarter the application fort he submission in October 2017 has been harmonised.

The projects of the European territorial cooperation are relevant, since they position Luka Koper within the European institutional setting - mainly from the point of view of planning and development of national and trans-european transport infrastructure, logistic concepts, environmental protection, security, maritime protection, sustainable energy supply, IT moderrnisation, cultural heritage and similar.

Within the European Structural Funds, in the beginning of 2017, the company received the approval of the partnership Competency center Logistika, which supports the education and the development of competences. Within the framework of intelligent specialization projects, the company continued the implementation of the project RRI (Exploitment of the

bio-mass potential for the development of advanced materials and bio-based products), through the which Luka Koper Exploitment of the bio-mass potential for the development of advanced materials and bio-based products.

Also in the last period of time, Luka Koper was still striving to obtain the solution concerning the opportunity of co-financing of the Cruise terminal, since the project documentation is at an advanced stage and it is important Luka Koper to obtain a final response and it is important to obtain the final response about the implementation of the project. Although the company was seeking solutions by agreement with key stakeholders: Ministry of Economic Development and Technology, Ministry of Infrastructure and Municipality of Koper, there is still no positive response which would comply with legal and strategic limits of the company and the Port.

After many years, in January 2017 was adopted the Port's regulation, which will not affect the model of port's managagement and governance. As concerns the international institutional activities, in February 2017, Luka Koper, d.d., attended the meeting of the executive committee of the European Sea Ports Organisation (ESPO), in June the General Shareholders' Meeting of the European port operators and private terminals FEPORT and Corridors' forums organised by the European Union. In March, Luka Koper hosted the representatives of the European Commission for sea motorways and took over the presidency of North Adriatic Ports Association (NAPA). In June, the company accepted the invitation of the port's workers to attend the convention, held in Trieste where the attention was paid to a further successful development of the port's activity in the Northern Adriatic, in particular as concerns the job opportunities In September the representatives of the company attended the main annual event CEF, organised by the European Commission in Talinn and in that occasion the CEF projects in which the company is involved, were presented.

However, it should be emphasized that the Port of Koper is well known to the European institutional stakeholders, but the support of the State and the understanding of the port's activity is of the utmost importance for further port's development.

12 Risk management

In the third quarter of 2017 Luka Koper Group realised a risk of and additional financial burden, defined by Act on the construction and management of the second railway track of the Divača to Koper railway line, since the referendum on the law governing the second rail track held on 24 September 2017 failed. The company will take all necessary actions to protect its interests.

The Group has been further implementing the set risk management plan and has been reducing the recognised risk rates opnje prepoznanih tveganj. As concerns the operative risks, the Group has recognised new risks for which actions have already been taken and they have been actively implemented. On the basis of three accidents at work, occurred in the Port in June and in July, one of them fatal accident, additional actions were taken, which are still in the course of the implementation and of which purpose is to minimise the likelihood of recurrence of such events. The strategy refreshment process of the Luka Koper Group till 2020, where all strategic concepts, directions and goals with respect to the perceived changes in the environment, will be examined, is still ongoing.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

13 Natural environment

Luka Koper has always taken care fort he improvement of the quality of life in the whole area where the port is situated. Besides the statutory compliance and the compliance with authorisations, a continuous improvement of environmental management system, objective and regular assessment of performance of such systems, provision of information about the environmental performance, open dialogue with public and interested parties and active involvement of employees are required. . All employees in Luka Koper, d.d. and meanwhile all responsible stuff for the maintenance of the established system have contributed to the keeping the highest environmental standard.

13.1 Care for the environment

Being aware that port's impacts on the environment occur, Luka Koper committed itself in its business policy to the sound environmental management, wishing to preserve it also for future generations. Monitoring and mangement of environmental impacts has so become the part of regular working activities wherby Luka Koper, d.d. cooperates with competent authorities.

The most important goals in the area of the natural environment in 2017:

  • to successfully carry out the audit in compliance with EMAS requirements
  • to keep emissions of dust at all ten port's locations below 250 mg/m2day,
  • to retain the value of PM10 particles (the size up to 10 μm) emissions below 30 μg/m3 in the entire Port's area (in direction towards Ankaran, Koper and Bertoki),
  • to keep the percentage of separately collected waste above 84 percent,
  • to decrease night-time noise level to 48 dBA in the direction of Koper,
  • to keep the daily-time noise level to 58 dBA in front of closest building outside the Port's area despite the increased throughput and the enlargement of the port,
  • without taking actions in enverionmental interventions,
  • without pollution outside the Port's aquatorium,
  • harmonisation of the outdoor lighting with purpose to reduce the light pollution,
  • to keep specific consumption of energy at the level from 2015, and namely for motor fuel 0.25l/t, for electric energy 1.17 kWh/t and potable water 6.4l/t, despite the increase of the throughput and storage capacities,
  • modernisation of the waste waters treatment system at the Livestock terminal and modernisation of raining waters treatment system at the European Energy terminal.

13.2 EMAS certificate

As early as in 2010, Luka Koper, d. d., was awarded the most important enviroonmental certificate EMAS (SI 00004), which is renewed annually. By complying with norms for the obtainment of the most significant environmental certificate, the company's strategic guidelines are achieved. The Environmental Report for 2016 which will be published on the website after the completion of the external assessment, is drawn up.

13.3 Atmosphere

Endeavours for a continuous reduction of emissions, generated at the port's activities, involve several activities. Among relevant actions for the dust reduction is the introduced technology of coating the dumping area for coal and iron ore by paper mill sludge The paper mill sludge forms the crust preventing to swap away the dust.

13.3.1 Total volume of dust at the Port

Control measurements of the total volume of dust are carried in Luka Koper yet from 2002 on ten measurement points in the Port. There are no legal restrictions on the quantity of dust deposits in Slovenia, nevertheless, we have set a goal not to exceede the average annual level of 250 mg/m2day. In the first nine months of 2017, the average of measurement values from all measuring points amounted to 94 mg/m2day.

13.3.2 Quantity of health hazardous dust particles (PM10)

Statutory prescribed measurement of dust particles (PM10), carrried out by an authorised organisation are continuously measured on three points within the Port. The measurements taken in the first nine months of 2017 were below the target value of 30 μg/m3and below the statutory set up volume of 40 μg/m3 . The results from two measurement devices are shown automatically every hour online on the Port's web page Living with the Port www.zivetispristaniscem.si.

Comparison of mean values of PM10 measurements , January – September 2017 and 2016

13.3.3 Emissions of dust particles on key sources

Since the permitted values of dust particles emissions of key sources are stipulated by law, we perform measurements in the direct vicinity of dust-generating sources (e.g. at loading/unloading of wagons, trucks and ships. The threshold of pertmitted value of emissions is 20 mg/m3 . The company has not yet performed the statutory measurements for 2017.

13.4 Waste management

Various types of waste are generated in the Port of Koper. In terms of Luka Koper, d.d. committment for the the environment, Luka Koper regularly provides for waste separation, recycling and waste processinng. The waste separtions is carried out at all terminals, by the users of the economic zone and on ships. Separately collected waste materials are delivered to external waste-processing contractors and agents, whereas organic waste is processed at the composting plant in the port. Luka Koper d.d. also collaborates with external companies in relation to waste processing.

In Janauary - September 2017, we achieved 93 percent of waste separation and we exceeded the set objective of 84 percent of sorted and separately collected waste. In April, container quay crane was cut into pieces and 495 tonnes of iron were transported from the Port, in June additional 132 tonnes of scrap railway sleepers were transported from the Port. In August and September, also 512 tonnes of scrap of the demolished crane at the European Energy terminal were transported from the Port.

13.5 Noise

Noise levels are continuously monitored by devices at three peripheral points around the port, and the results are published online via the Living With The Port www.zivetispristaniscem.si.

Level of noise in the first nine months of 2017, with respect to the equivalent period last year towards Ankaran and Bertoki reamined unchanged.

Main sources of noise in the Port of Koper nevertheless remain due to the goods handling operations and due to numerous construction sites. A significant source of noise in the port is attributable to the vessels, which due to ensuring smooth operation, must keep engines running.

13.6 Energy

Luka Koper started tghe procedures for the erection of electric vehicles charging points for the needs of customers who will start to tranship the electric vehicles through the Port of Koper in 2018.

Within the EU project ELEMED Luka Koper started to study the technical options of connecting vessels to the power network, while moored in the Port.

13.6.1 Consumption of energy and water

The specific consumption of the motor fuel in the first nine months of 2017, in comparison with the first nine months of 2016, stood at the same level. The higher specific consumption of electricity in the first nine months of 2017, in comparison with 2016, is primarily the result of the increased throughput at the Container terminal and at Reefer terminal. The reason for a lower specific consumption of water in the first nine months of 2017, in comparison with 2016, is slightly lower absolute water consumption and increased throughput.

Specific consumption of energy and water per handled tonne of the total throughput23 , January– September 2017 in 2016

1 – 9 2017 1 – 9 2016 INDEx
2017/2016
Electricity consumption (kWh/t) 0.630 0.615 102
Motor fuel consumption (l/t) 0.136 0.137 99
Potable water consumption (l/t) 3.170 3.590 88

Electricity consumption

In the port's activity, the mechanisation and equipment equipment with large rated power are used and this results in a major consumption of the electric power. Among major consumers in the port are primarily quay cranes, food stuff cold storage rooms at the the Reefer terminal lighting and power supply to the reefer containers. In the first nine months, the largest consumer of the electric power was the Container terminal, which consumed 27 percent of total consumed electric power.

Motor fuel consumption

A lot of ground mechanisation, powered by diesel fuel is used in the port's working processes. The major consumers are rubber tired gantry cranes RtGs, terminal tractors, reach stackers, railway track vehicles, forklifts and tractors. In January - September 2017, the major consumer of the motor fuel was the Container terminal, which consumed 67 percent of motor fuel.

Water

The company pays a great attention to the water as a vital good and for this reasons numerous safety and treatment actions are implemented. Since the water is used mainly for sanitary purposes and for the supply of vessels, the concern for an adequate purity of water is important.

Potable water

The consumption of the potable water does not depend directly on the throughput. Due to a a growing occupancy of the port and a large number of trucks additional leakeges on the water distribution network occur. In the first nine months of 2017, numerous measurements of the quality of potable water were implemented within the Port's zone. Micribiologic

23 Total throughput = maritime throughput + stuffing/unstuffing of containers + land transhipment

contamination in the water distribution network was detected only in one case and it was also eliminated.

Waste water

In the port mainly urban waste waters are generated and to a lower extent industrial waste water. Generated industrial waste waters and prior to the discharge they are adequately treated in own waste water treatment plants,urban waste waters mainly in the Koper central waste treatment plant. In January - September 2017, the measurements of industrial waste waters from the Terminal of liquid cargoes and the containers cleaning process, in both cases the results were in compliance with the legislation.

13.7 Effects of lighting

In accordance with regulations for safe work, Luka Koper d.d. ensures proper lighting, which is required for continuous performance of work processes. Unfortunately, the lighting, which illuminates warehousing areas, working sites, transport routes and tracks at night is the source of environmental pollution .

In the Port's zone, the whole port's lighting is harmonised in accordance with the provision of the law, in a way that the light flux is not lit up. A new lighting plan, which will be published on the Company's website, is under prepration.

13.8 Marine protection

Pursuant to the provisions of the Concession Agreement for the performance of port activity, management, dvelopment and regular maintenance of port's infrastructure in the Koper's cargo port area, Luka Koper, d.d. regularly takes care to prevent and remove the consequences of the sea pollution. To carry out such actvities we need special equipment, boats and skilled staff. We therefore regularly train the staff, provide training and drills. In exceptional events at sea Luka Koper d.d. takes measures in compliance with the valid Protection and rescuing plan of Luka Koper , d.d. in case of industrial accidents.

In January - September 2017, 16 incidents were recorded in the Port's aquatorium. In all cases, measurements were taken in accordance to the activiation scheme of forces and resources for minor accident, and the consequences of pollution were successfully dealt with within the concession area.

Financial instruments and financial risk management

The most significant risks to which the company is exposed, include:

    1. risk management of the change in fair value,
    1. management of interest rate risk,
    1. management of liquidity risk ,
    1. management of currency risk,
    1. management of credit risk and
    1. risk management relating to adequate capital structure.
    1. Risk management relating to change in fair value

As at 30 September 2017, the Company has invested 5,6 percent of its assets (the same as at the end of the previous business year) in investments measured at the fair value. The fair value risk associated with these investments is demonstrated through changes in stock market prices that affect the value of these assets and consequently the potential gain on their disposal. This type of risk was identified in association with investments in market securities of Slovenian companies and units of mutual fund assets. As at 30 September 2017, the value of non-current available-for-sale investments measured at fair value through equity amounted to EUR 28,449,562.

2. Management of interest rate risk

In January - September 2017, the Company's financial liabilities increased by 8,7 percent in comparision at 31 December 2016 and amounted to EUR 137,358,766.

The share of financial liabilities within the total segment of liabilities in the reporting period accounted for 0,3 percentage point and as at 30 September 2017amounted to 27,0 percent (as at 31 December 2016 it amounted to 26,7 percent).

The effect of the eventual change of variable interest on the future net profit after tax is shown in the table below. The interest rate hedge for a larger non current borrowing, whose outstanding amount as at 30 September 2017 is recorded at EUR 32,131,148 matures in 2031. The eventual change of variable interest rates may consequently effect 64,8 percent of total Company's borrowings (as at 31 December 2016, this share amounetd to 60,4 percent), since the remnant 35,2 percent are hedged against eventual changes of interest rates resp. bear a fixed interest rate.

3. Management of liquidity risk

The liquidity risk is the risk that the company will fail to settle its liabilities at maturity. The company manages the liquidity risk by regular planning of cash flows with diverse maturity. Additional measures for preventing delays in receivable collection include regular monitoring of payments and immediate response to any delay and charging penalty interest in accordance with the uniform policy of receivable management.

*The item comprises also loans from subsidiaries and associated companies

4. Management of currency risk

The risk of changes in foreign exchange rates arises from trade receivables denominated in US dollars (USD). In recent years, the company managed to reduce the volume of outstanding trade reeivables in US dollars to such extent, that their share is not event 1 percent of all receivables and therefore this risk is negligible from the point of vue of eventual negative effects for the company.

5. Management of credit risk

Financial instruments and financial risk management

    1. risk management of the change in fair value,
    1. management of interest rate,
    1. management of liquidity risk ,
    1. management of currency risk,

This type of risk was identified in association with investments in market securities of Slovenian companies and units of mutual fund assets As at 30 September 2017, the value of non-current available-for-sale investments measured at fair value through equity, amounted to EUR 29,625,606.

2. Management of interest rate risk

Only the parent company encounters the interest rate risk, since its financial liabilities are with variable interest rates.

In January - September 2017, the financial liabilities of the Group increased by 10 percent with respect to the previous year, and as 30 September 2017 they amounted to EUR 121,358,852.

The parent company of the Group has established the interest rate hedge for a major noncurrent borrowing, of which oustanding principal as at 30 September 2017 was recorded at EUR 32,131,148 and matures in 2031.

The eventual change of variable interest rates may consequently effect 73,4 percent of total Group's borrowings(as at 31 December 2016, 69,2 percent). The remnant 26,6 percent are hedged against eventual chnages of variable interest rates.

4. Management of currency risk

The risk of changes in foreign exchange rates arises from trade receivables denominated in US dollars (USD). In recent years, the Group managed to reduce the volume of outstanding trade receivables in US dollars to such extent, that their share is not event 1 percent of all receivables and therefore this risk is negligible from the point of vue of eventual negative effects for the Group.

5. Management of credit risk

Assets exposed to credit risk:

Non-current loans 24,723 31,005
