This section describes our material risks, including how we manage them. If any of the risks described in this section occur, even partly or in combination with other risk factors or circumstances, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Company's future activity results may differ materially from past results as a consequence of the occurrence of the risks described herein. Taking into consideration the dynamic macroeconomic environment at this time, other risks and/or uncertainties that are not currently known or that we are unable to estimate or are considered immaterial at this time may also occur and they could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.
***
We draw attention to the fact that Eurohold Bulgaria AD develops its business through its subsidiaries, in this regard the Company's financial position, operating results and development prospects are directly dependent on the position, results and prospects of its subsidiaries. Each business sector, including the segments in which we operate, is subject to common risks, such as changes in the macroeconomic environment, social, political, financial, regulatory and legislative changes. Our main risks and uncertainties are those that may have the most significant impact on our key group priorities.
***
Non-systematic risks are associated with the general investment risk specific to a company, as well as the sector (industry) of the economy in which it operates.
As the activity of Eurohold Bulgaria AD is related to the management of other companies, it cannot be attributed to a separate sector of the national economy and it is exposed to the sectoral risks of the subsidiaries. Eurohold's group companies operate in the following sectors: "energy", "insurance" and "investment brokerage and asset management".
The impact of the individual risks of the subsidiaries is proportional to the share of the respective sector in the structure of Eurohold's long-term investment portfolio.
The Holding's main activities are carried out through its subsidiaries, which means that its financial performance is directly linked to the financial performance and development trends of its business units within the economic group.
The existence of companies in the portfolio whose net sales revenues are also generated by products sold to other subsidiaries (related parties) places the performance of these companies in direct dependence on the level of profitability of the customers (related parties), which may negatively affect the profitability of the entire group.
The main risk associated with the operations of Eurohold Bulgaria AD is the possibility of a reduction in the sales revenues of the companies in which it participates and on the receipt of dividends. In this regard, it may have an impact on the company's revenue growth as well as on the change in its profitability.
Deterioration in the performance of one or more subsidiaries could lead to a deterioration in results on a consolidated basis. This is also linked to the company's share price as a result of investors' expectations of
the company's and Eurohold Group's prospects, as the share market price takes into account the business potential and assets of the economic group as a whole.
Eurohold's future earnings and economic value depend on the strategy adopted by the senior management team of the company and its subsidiaries. Unsuitable strategy choice could lead to significant losses.
Eurohold Bulgaria AD aims to manage the risk of strategic errors by continuously monitoring the various stages in the implementation of its market strategy, and the results thereof. This is essential in order to be able to react in a timely manner if a change is required at a particular stage in the strategic development plan. Untimely or inappropriate changes in strategy could also have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
The Company's management risks might be:
The capability of Eurohold Bulgaria AD to grow and implement its strategies depends to a large extent on its capacity to raise capital. The volatility of the financial markets, as well as any apparent lack of trust between financial institutions, could make it significantly more difficult to raise long-term capital on reasonable terms.
The management of Eurohold Bulgaria AD supports the efforts of the Group's subsidiaries to attract bank resources for investment and to use the opportunities provided by this type of financing to secure working capital. The volumes of these raised funds are maintained at certain levels and are authorised after demonstrating the economic efficiency for each company.
The Management policy is to raise financial resources from the market mainly in the form of equity securities (shares), debt instruments (bonds) and borrowings from banking and non-banking institutions. The Company use them to invest in its subsidiaries, to finance their projects by increasing their capital or providing loans. Additionaly, Eurohold Bulgaria AD monitors the capital structure of each company and takes action to maintain the regulatory capital requirements for each business segment by increasing their capital.
Liquidity risk is associated with the possibility that "Eurohold Bulgaria" JSC will not repay its obligations in the agreed amount and/or in due time when they become due. The issuer seeks to minimize this risk through optimal cash flow management within the group itself. The group applies an approach that aims to provide the necessary liquid resource to meet obligations under normal or extraordinary conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or damaging the reputation of individual companies and the economic group as a whole.
Subsidiaries make financial planning, with which they aim to meet the payment of and their current expenses for a period of ninety days, including the servicing of financial obligations. This financial planning minimizes or completely excludes the potential effect of the occurrence of extraordinary circumstances.
Relationships with related parties arise under temporary financial assistance agreements of subsidiaries and in connection with transactions related to the ordinary business activities of subsidiaries.
The risk of possible transactions between the companies in the Group under conditions that differ from market terms is expressed in: a) assuming a risk to achieve a low yield from interest on provided intra-group financing; b) when carrying out intra-group commercial transactions, there is a risk that sufficient revenues will not be generated, and hence a good profit for the respective company. At a consolidated level, this may reflect negatively on the profitability of the entire group.
Within Eurohold, transactions between the parent company and the subsidiaries and between the subsidiaries themselves, arising from the nature of their core business, take place on an ongoing basis. All transactions with related parties are carried out on terms that do not differ from normal market prices and in compliance with IAS 24 'Related Party Disclosures'.
Eurohold Bulgaria AD operates through its subsidiaries, which means that its financial results are directly dependent on the financial performance, development and prospects of its subsidiaries. Poor performance of one or several subsidiaries could lead to a deterioration of financial results on a consolidated basis.
Macroeconomic risk is the risk of shocks that may affect economic growth, population income, supply and demand, the profits generated by economic entities, etc. These shocks include global economic and business conditions, fluctuations in national currencies, political events, changing legislation and regulatory requirements, priorities of national governments, etc. Trends in the macroeconomic environment affect the market performance and the final results of the activity of all sectors of the economy. Bulgaria has an open economy and its development depends directly on the international market conditions.
Trends in the macroeconomic environment affect the market performance and the final results of the activity of all sectors of the economy.
The outcome of some risks related to the international environment will depend to a large extent on the plans and preventive measures of individual countries and international institutions, which is also evident from the latest global economic crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic. The risk of the international environment influence on companies cannot be diversified and affects all players, but on the other hand, it can become an engine for the development and implementation of innovations and digitalization, which can drastically change and increase the efficiency of business on a global scale.
The macroeconomic situation and economic growth on a global scale are of fundamental importance for the development of Eurohold Bulgaria AD and its subsidiaries, including the state policies of the respective countries in which it operates and, in particular, the regulations and decisions taken by the respective Central Banks , which affect monetary and interest policy, exchange rates, taxes, GDP, inflation, budget deficit and external debt, unemployment rate and income structure.
Macroeconomic trends such as: the global economic crisis; the impact of the force majeure event that occurred at the beginning of 2020 due to the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic and the measures taken by the governments of the affected countries; slowing down of economic growth; the risk of systematic global financial fluctuations; periodic fiscal imbalances; changes in exchange rates for certain currencies; volatility in the prices of energy products; economic and political uncertainty in some regions of the world; the reduction of economic and consumer activity, may have an adverse effect on the business results, financial condition, profit and profitability or expected growth of the Group.
The development of Bulgaria's economy faces the risk of external influences and depends directly on international market conditions. The presence of unfavorable macroeconomic conditions in Bulgaria, including an increase in unemployment and inflation, as well as fiscal instability may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, its financial condition and/or its results of operations.
The Eurohold's group carries out operations in Bulgaria and additionally in a number of other European countries, respectively its overall financial position and the results of its operations are affected by the economic, legal and political conditions in these countries. Any deterioration in macroeconomic conditions in such countries or in the wider CEE / SEE region could adversely affect certain products and services offered by the group and result in lower revenues than originally planned. Moreover, general changes in government policy and regulatory systems in such jurisdiction may increase the Group's operating costs and capital requirements. Any future periods of economic slowdown or slow economic growth in any of the markets in which the Group operates could have an adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations or prospects.
During the period of the historical financial information under review, we witnessed macroeconomic risk arising from the scale and spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which affected the entire world and dramatically affected global macroeconomics and economic growth. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, at the end of the first and throughout the second quarter of 2020, much of the global economy slowed its growth, and activity in some sectors was almost completely suspended. As a result of the measures imposed by governments, a significant amount of international trade was impeded. Globally, the subsequent business results from the economic disruptions caused by the pandemic were: a worsening economic outlook, a significant increase in expected credit losses and other impairments, and a decrease in revenue due to lower volumes and reduced customer activity.
In 2021 and early 2022, the Covid-19 pandemic continued to impact the health system, the social environment and the economy. Deviations in the prices of energy resources had a strong impact, as did the displacement of trade relations, leading to a worldwide wave of intense inflationary pressure. After the start of mass vaccination, a gradual recovery of the global and local economy and the expected recovery of global activity also began. The labor market also developed favorably, and unemployment continued to decline. The banking system remained stable, well capitalized, with high levels of liquidity meeting regulatory requirements.
The latest wave of the coronavirus actively developed in early 2022 led to a new slowdown in economic recovery in Europe, accompanied by high inflation, absences from work and work in an online environment, increasing shortages of materials, equipment and labor. Record energy prices have further increased the cost of living and reduced the purchasing power of Europeans, especially in low-income households. In general, the impact of the pandemic on economic activity has generally weakened over time, including that the slowdown in the recovery did not last long, given the abatement of the last wave and the lifting of restrictive measures.
In the future, possible new waves of infection, correspondingly imposed anti-epidemic measures and prolonged staff shortages could prevent recovery / or lead to a further deterioration of economic activity. They could also delay the functioning of critical supply chains for a longer period of time. On the other hand, weaker demand growth in the near term may help overcome supply constraints a little sooner than expected.
Apart from the general effects of the pandemic on all economic entities, it does not directly affect the currently existing businesses of the companies of the Eurohold group. During the Covid-19 active period, only the automotive and leasing businesses were affected, but they were sold in the middle of 2022. Bearing this in mind, possible new waves of the spread of Covid-19 would not have significant segmental effects on the energy, insurance and financial - investment business in the group. At this stage, management's assessment of the peak periods of the pandemic is that, with timely and flexible measures, the Eurohold's group has managed to cope with the consequences of the situation and reduce the impact on it as much as possible.
Management continues to monitor new manifestations and effects of the pandemic to take preventive measures and solutions in order to preserve the health of workers and minimize the impact of the crisis caused by Covid-19.
The hostilities between Russia and Ukraine have received widespread international condemnation and numerous countries have imposed sanctions on assets and operations owned by the Russian state and certain individuals. This conflict began at a time when the world economy, including Bulgaria's one, was gaining momentum after the peak of the Covid-19 crisis and calls into question the previous forecasts for the economic growth of Europe and Bulgaria in particular. The IMF notes that the sanctions imposed by a number of countries against Russia have an impact on the global economy and financial markets, and will have significant side effects in other states as well. In many countries, the crisis generated adverse shocks to both inflation and activity amid already heightened price pressures. Central banks closely monitor the impact of rising international prices on domestic inflation, with a view to monitoring and, where necessary, taking appropriate, carefully considered responses. Fiscal policy will need to support the most vulnerable households to offset rising living costs.
The economic consequences of the military conflict in Ukraine cannot be fully assessed at this stage of development, but they indicate extremely serious price effects on the overall global economy, substantial growth in inflation, and difficulty in supplying energy resources. Other manifested effects of the beginning of hostilities are: a decline in economic growth, the risk of a humanitarian crisis in connection with a refugee wave of Ukrainian citizens, an uncertain international environment, problems with gas supplies and a significant increase in gas prices, a surge in prices when trading with electricity, fuels and other petroleum products, supply chain constraints due to restrictive and logistical problems, high volatility in stock markets under the pressure of fluctuations in fuel and other basic resource markets, increased interest rates, a shaky banking system, etc.
If the conflict continues to develop, the economic damage will be significant for all sectors of the economy, both of Bulgaria and the EU, including the sectors and regions in which the Eurohold's group operates. Eurohold's management follows with concern the development of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and evaluates its impact on the Group's business, analyzing the impact on both sides of the conflict in order to take measures, decisions and concrete actions to mitigate the effects on the group. Eurohold Bulgaria AD, through its subsidiary Euroins Insurance Group AD, owns investments in two insurance companies in Ukraine.
Eurohold Bulgaria JSC strives to monitor the probability of the manifestation of the macroeconomic risk and develops group measures to mitigate as much as possible the impact of the effects that the presence of this risk may have. However, the Holding cannot completely exclude and limit its influence on the business, financial position, profits and cash flows at the group level. There is also the possibility that the occurrence of this risk may exacerbate other risks or a combination of risks.
At the end of 2022, the management of Eurohold Bulgaria and the subsidiary Euroins Insurance Group decided to release the insurance group from its participation in the companies in Belarus and Russia (associated participation). On December 30 2022, Euroins Insurance Group (EIG) signed an agreement for the sale of the two companies, as from the date of the agreement, EIG and Eurohold will not consolidate the results of these companies in their report. Until the date of the transaction, EIG owned 100% of the company's capital in Belarus and 48.61% of that in Russia. These participations added insignificant values to the consolidated results against the background of the assets of the insurance subholding and the assets of Eurohold Bulgaria AD. EIG's business in the two countries accounted for less than 1% of the insurance group's 2022 revenue.
According to the latest Economic Bulletin of the ECB, no. 8/2023 - The global economy started this year at a stronger pace than in the fourth quarter of 2022. However, continued uncertainty is intensifying headwinds for global growth, including high inflation, tightening global financial conditions and geopolitical tensions. Inflation eased in October and November 2023, falling year-on-year to 2.4% in November, according to Eurostat's flash estimate. The December 2023 projections indicate that, regardless of the expected temporary increase in inflation, the disinflation process in the core price index is expected to continue. The labor market continues to support the economy. The unemployment rate stood at 6.5% in October and employment rose 0.2% in the third quarter. According to December 2023 forecasts, available near-term indicators suggest that economic activity will remain weak in the fourth quarter of 2023. However, growth is expected to pick up from early 2024 onwards, with real disposable income increasing, supported by falling inflation, steady wage growth and sustained employment, and export growth catching up with improving external demand. Average annual real GDP growth is expected to slow from 3.4% in 2022 to 0.6% in 2023, then recover to 0.8% in 2024 and stabilize at 1 .5% in 2025 and 2026.
In the Macroeconomic Forecast of the BNB from December 2023, the expectations for the growth of the real GDP for 2023 are to finally amount to 1.8% (compared to 3.9% in 2022), which will be determined mostly by the growth of private consumption and the positive contribution of net exports, while the change in inventories will have a significant negative contribution to the change in economic activity. Real GDP growth is forecast to accelerate to 3.4% in 2025, mainly due to the expected significant acceleration of investment growth, mainly driven by the assumptions made for the implementation of the projects under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRSP). Risks to the real GDP growth forecast are assessed as balanced for 2023, while for 2024 and 2025 risks to lower growth than in the baseline prevail, given the deepening global geopolitical conflicts and the still unrealized fully affected by the tightening of monetary conditions in Europe and the US.
"Eurohold Bulgaria" AD strives to monitor the probability of the manifestation of the macroeconomic risk and develops group measures to mitigate as much as possible the impact of the effects that the presence of this risk may have. However, the Holding cannot completely exclude and limit its influence on the business, financial position, profits and cash flows at the group level. There is also the possibility that the occurrence of this risk may exacerbate other risks or a combination of risks.
Political risk reflects the impact of political processes in the country on the economic and investment process and, more specifically, on the return on investment. The degree of political risk is determined by the probability of changes in an unfavorable direction of the government's long-term economic policy, which may have a negative impact on investment decisions. Other factors related to this risk are possible changes in the legislation and in the tax system regarding the economic and investment climate in the country.
The Republic of Bulgaria is a country with political and institutional stability, based on modern constitutional principles such as a multi-party parliamentary system, free elections, ethnic tolerance and a clearly defined system of separation of powers.
Among the political risks are the successful continuation of Bulgaria's integration into the European Union (EU). After the admission of our country to the EU at the beginning of 2007, economic reforms were imposed in the name of the integration of our country into the European Union. In the future, economic growth will depend on the political will to continue economic reforms, with the aim of introducing the best market practices of the EU in economic, political, social, legal, financial terms.
Despite the stable policy pursued so far, there is no certainty that factors will not appear in the country that will cause social and political tension, lead to a significant and abrupt change in the political and economic conditions, which may have a significant adverse effect on business. Currently, the political situation in Bulgaria is not particularly stable. This instability manifested itself in April 2021 since the country faced the inability to form a regular and stable government. Domestic political uncertainty continues with a caretaker government currently in place. This also contributed to a lag in Bulgaria's preparations for joining the Eurozone, which is why the same is being postponed at this stage. At the moment, the country is governed by the coalition formed in June 2023 and represents Bulgaria's first stable government in the last two years, after five parliamentary elections.
Given the current political situation, it is possible that political and public disagreements may arise in the country regarding possible legislative changes, and in particular those concerning the economic and investment climate in the country. Also, at this moment, there is no political consensus in the country regarding the complicated geopolitical situation in the region due to the development of the Russian-Ukrainian crisis.
A potential political instability in the country and in Europe could have a significant adverse effect on the Company and its group's business, operating results and financial condition. The company through its subsidiaries operates in the regions affected by the military conflict and in this sense is also vulnerable to foreign policy risks and their effects on the economy of the country, the regions affected by the conflict and Europe as a whole.
Given the uncertainty of the outcome of the emerging dynamic political and economic environment, users of this Report should consider the presence of political risk according to their own understanding and expectations.
Credit risk is the likelihood of a country's international credit ratings deteriorating. Low credit ratings of the country can lead to higher interest rates, more difficult financing conditions for economic entities, including Eurohold.
Credit ratings serve as a basis for measuring and determining a country's credit risk. The latest credit ratings awarded to Bulgaria are as follows:
On 25.11.2023, the international rating agency S&P Global Ratings raised the outlook for the country's rating to positive from stable and confirmed Bulgaria's long-term and short-term credit rating in foreign and local currency 'BBB/A-2'.
The positive outlook reflects the opinion of the rating agency that there is at least a one in three probability that Bulgaria will join the Eurozone in the next 24 months. One of the main political goals of the government is the country's accession to the Eurozone, which is planned to be achieved from January 1, 2025. Bulgaria may not meet all the criteria for convergence, especially that of price stability. Even if Bulgaria does not join the eurozone in 2025, the rating agency expects that the accession will likely be delayed until January 1, 2026.
S&P Global Ratings rates Bulgaria's fiscal performance as one of the best among Central and Eastern European countries and expects current fiscal plans to result in deficits below 3% of GDP in the period to 2026, keeping net government debt below 20 % of GDP. They expect the current account deficit to remain low and overfinanced by EU funds and foreign direct investment flows, limiting the need for external financing and maintaining a stable external position.
Bulgaria's rating is supported by the country's strong external and fiscal position compared to countries with the same rating, the reliable political framework of EU membership and the long-term functioning of the currency board regime. On the other hand, the low share of investment relative to GDP and unfavorable demographic factors weigh on potential economic growth and public finances in the long term.
The positive outlook reflects the country's plans for eurozone membership, which could lead to further improvements in the country's external position indicators. Despite the delay in the process of joining the euro area, the analysts of the rating agency believe that there is a broad political commitment to adopt the euro in 2025. After the formation of the new government, the parliament has accepted all the remaining commitments after the country's entry into ERM II, and the amendment of the central bank law is expected to be approved by the end of 2023.
Factors that could lead to negative rating actions are: lack of progress in joining the Eurozone due to continued political instability or failure to meet convergence criteria; lower medium-term growth prospects, caused for example by a significant adverse macroeconomic shock or inflation that has persisted at high levels.
The adoption of a consistent and long-term economic policy in Bulgaria would be a valid reason for the potential increase in the country's credit rating, which in turn would have a favorable impact on the economic group of Eurohold expressed in the Group's financing opportunities. In the event of a downgrading of Bulgaria's credit rating, as a result of the unstable governance of the country, there may be a negative impact on the Group and on the cost of financing, except in the case that its loan agreements are with fixed interest rates.
Inflation risk is associated with the likelihood that inflation will affect real investment returns. The main risks related to the inflation forecast relate to the dynamics of international prices and the rate of economic growth in Bulgaria. International prices of raw materials and food products may rise more significantly as a result of political crises such as are currently available or an increase in demand. The limited supply of some agricultural goods and especially cereals internationally in connection with adverse climatic events or force majeure circumstances may additionally cause higher inflation in the country.
According to NSI data, according to the consumer price index (CPI), the monthly inflation in December 2023 is 0.3%, and the annual inflation for December 2023 compared to December 2022 is 4.7%. The average annual inflation for the period January - December 2023 compared to the period January - December 2022 is 9.5%.
According to HIPC, monthly inflation in December 2023 is 0.3%, and annual inflation for December 2023 compared to December 2022 is 5.0%. The average annual inflation for the period January - December 2023 compared to the period January - December 2022 is 8.6%.
According to the price index for the small basket, in December 2023 an increase of 0.2% was recorded on a monthly basis and an increase of 4.6% since the beginning of the year.
According to the Macroeconomic Forecast of the BNB from December 2023, the annual inflation, measured by the harmonized index of consumer prices (HIPC), followed a tendency to slow down in 2023 and amounted to 5.0% at the end of the year (compared to 14.3% at the end of 2022 .). It is expected to slow to 3.1% at the end of 2024 and remain at the same level at the end of 2025.
In general, inflation can affect the amount of the Company's expenses, since part of the company's liabilities are interest-bearing. Their service is linked to the current interest rates, which also reflect the inflation rates in the country. Therefore, the maintenance of low inflation levels in the country is considered a significant factor for the activity of the Eurohold group.
At the present moment and in general, the currency board mechanism provides guarantees that the inflation in the country will remain under control and will not have an adverse impact on the economy of the country, and in particular on the activities of the Company and its group, and from there on its possibility to service its debt positions.
However, the current geopolitical situation in Europe makes the outlook for inflation in the Eurozone very uncertain and depends crucially on the development of the military conflict, the impact of current sanctions and possible further measures.
Given this, users of this Report should carefully consider and account for both current levels of inflation risk and future opportunities for its manifestation.
This risk is related to the possibility of depreciation of the local currency. For Bulgaria, specifically, this is a risk of premature rejection of the conditions of the Currency Board at a fixed exchange rate of the national currency, which would lead either to a devaluation of the leva or to an appreciation of the leva compared to foreign currencies. Any significant depreciation of the BGN may have a significant adverse effect on business
entities in the country, including the Company. Risk also exists when the income and expenses of a business entity are formed in different currencies.
Given the policy adopted by the government and the BNB, expectations are for the currency board to be retained until the country's admission to the Eurozone. Bulgaria is expected to join the currency mechanism with its existing currency board regime, where the Bulgarian lev is fixed at 1 euro = 1.95583 leva. The National Plan for the introduction of the euro in Bulgaria describes the principles, the institutional and legalnormative framework for the adoption of the euro, as well as the main activities for the successful introduction of the euro from January 1, 2024. The document examines all the important operational activities and measures that participants in the preparation for the introduction of the euro - the private, public sector and citizens - should carry out as part of the process of introducing the euro.
The activity of the Company does not presuppose exposure to significant currency risk, because almost all its operations and transactions are denominated in Bulgarian levs and euros, and the latter has a fixed exchange rate against the lev.
Significant changes in the various exchange rates of subsidiaries outside Bulgaria - operating in Romania, North Macedonia, Ukraine, Georgia and Belarus, Macedonian Denar (MKD), Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH), Georgian Lari (GEL) and Belarusian Ruble (BYR), whose exchange rate is determined almost freely in the local currency market would have a corresponding reflection in Eurohold's group results. The consolidated revenues of "Eurohold Bulgaria" AD will be exposed to currency risk depending on the movement of these currencies against the euro.
Interest rate risk is related to the possibility of a change in the prevailing interest rates in the country. Its impact is expressed by the chance that the net income of companies may decrease due to an increase in the interest rates at which the Issuer finances its operations. Interest rate risk is included in the category of macroeconomic risks due to the fact that the main prerequisite for a change in interest rates is the occurrence of instability in the financial system as a whole. This risk can be managed through the balanced use of different sources of financial resources.
An increase in interest rates would, all other things being equal, affect the cost of the financial resources used by the Company in implementing various business projects. It may also affect the Company's cost base as a significant portion of the Company's liabilities are interest bearing and their servicing is linked to current interest rates. The current trend is towards gradual increase in interest rates by the Central Banks.
Trends on interest rates, according to the ECB, are for a significant increase at a steady pace until reaching restrictive levels in order to ensure a timely return of inflation to the medium-term target of 2%.
The risk associated with unemployment is characterized by a drop in the demand for labor force, influenced by the real aggregate demand in the economy, as a result of which the real purchasing activity of a part of the economic entities decreases.
High levels of unemployment can seriously threaten economic growth in the country, which in turn can lead to a contraction of consumption and a decrease in the revenues realized by economic entities in the country, including the revenues realized by the Company and its subsidiaries.
According to the data of the National Statistical Institute (NSI), the following indicators were recorded for the third quarter of 2023:
▪ Discouraged persons aged 15 - 64 are 36.0 thousand, or 3.6% of the economically inactive persons in the same age group.
The Company's results may be impacted by regulatory changes. The Eurohold Group operates in a highly regulated environment in various European countries. The possibility of more radical changes in the regulatory framework, in the interpretation or practice of implementing legislation, and in the divergence of legislation and regulations in Bulgaria and in the countries in which the Company operates and his Group, could have an adverse effect on its business as a whole, its operating results, and its financial condition.
Financial risk represents the additional uncertainty to the investor of receiving revenue in cases where the company uses borrowed or leveraged funds. This additional financial uncertainty adds to the business risk. Where part of the funds with which the company finances its activities are in the form of loans or debt securities, the payments for these funds represent a fixed obligation.
All sectors in which the Eurohold Group subsidiaries operate are characterised by a highly competitive environment. The future success of the Group will depend on the ability of Eurohold and its subsidiaries to remain competitive compared to other companies operating in a given market segment.
The elements outlining the framework for the management of individual risks are directly related to specific procedures for the timely prevention and resolution of potential difficulties in the operations of Eurohold Bulgaria AD. They include ongoing analysis in the following areas:
Overall risk management is focused on minimising potential negative effects that could impact the Group's financial performance. Financial risks are identified, measured and monitored on an ongoing basis using various controls to determine appropriate pricing for the services and products offered by Eurohold's Group companies and for the borrowed capital raised by them. An adequate assessment of the market circumstances, the borrowed capital, the investments and the forms of maintenance of the free liquid funds is carried out, without allowing unjustified concentration of a given risk.
The occurrence of unforeseen events, incorrect assessment of current trends, as well as a host of other microand macroeconomic factors, may affect the judgement of the Company's management team.

The economic consequences of the military conflict in Ukraine and the unprecedented increase in the price of energy resources in 2022 have had serious price effects on the overall global economy, a substantial rise in inflation and a difficulty in the supply of energy resources. Other manifested effects of the beginning of the hostilities are: a decline in economic growth, an uncertain international environment, problems with gas supplies and a significant increase in gas prices, a surge in prices for trading in electricity, fuels and other petroleum products, difficulties in the supply chain, due to restrictive and logistical problems, strong volatility in stock markets under the pressure of fluctuations in fuel and other basic resource markets, increased interest rates, a shaky banking system, etc.
The company has analyzed, on the basis of the currently available data, the potential effect on its financial position and, in particular, on the models used, according to IFRS 9.

This disclosure complies with the requirements of IFRS 7 and IFRS 9, as well as the recommendations of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).
According to the latest Economic Bulletin of the ECB, no. 8/2022 - The global economy is slowing amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, particularly as a result of Russia's unjustified war against Ukraine, and a widespread tightening of financing conditions. As the economic fallout from the war in Ukraine continues to play out and fuel strong inflationary pressures, indicators of consumer and business confidence remain weak, with real disposable incomes falling and rising cost pressures constraining output. The negative economic consequences are expected to be partially mitigated by fiscal policy measures. In the medium term, as the energy market rebalances, uncertainty is expected to decrease and real incomes to improve. As a result, economic growth is expected to pick up, supported by strengthening external demand and the removal of remaining supply constraints, despite less favorable financing conditions. The labor market is expected to remain relatively resilient in the coming moderate recession. Overall, average annual real GDP growth is expected to slow significantly, from 3.4% in 2022 to 0.5% in 2023, before accelerating to 1.9% in 2024 and to 1.8% in 2025
In the Macroeconomic Forecast of the BNB from December 2022, the expectations for the growth of the real GDP in 2023 is to slow down significantly to 0.4%, which will be determined mostly by the transition from a positive to a negative contribution of the change in stocks in the economy. The growth of economic activity is expected to accelerate to 3.2% in 2024, which will be mainly due to the formation of a low positive contribution of net exports due to the recovery of growth in exports of goods. Annual inflation, measured by the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), is forecast to slow to 4.2% at the end of 2023, with inflation expected to average 7.0% for the year, with short-term pressure on production prices resulting from factors such as realized commodity price increases and supply and labor shortages will continue to weigh on consumer prices. The forecast for inflation at the end of 2024 is for it to slow down to 3.3%, following the downward dynamics of the prices of food and energy raw materials on the international markets.

Eurohold Bulgaria AD strives to monitor the probability of the manifestation of the macroeconomic risk and develops group measures to mitigate as much as possible the impact of the effects that the presence of this risk may have. However, the management cannot completely exclude and limit its influence on the business, financial position, profits and cash flows at the group level. There is also the possibility that the occurrence of this risk may exacerbate other risks or a combination of risks.
The table below presents information on the expectations for economic growth of the Republic of Bulgaria, according to the data of the International Monetary Fund (October 2023: https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WEO/Issues/2023/10/10/world-economic-outlook-october-2023).

As can be seen from the above data, the management takes into account the possible short-term risks on the general development of the economy of the main countries, as in some of the markets the expected reduction of the Gross Domestic Product would be significant, but also takes into account the general expectations for a rapid recovery in the period 2022-2023 with expectations for a return to average projected growth levels prior to the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic.
As a result of the expected economic effects of the slowdown in general activity, some rating agencies have downgraded their outlook on long-term debt positions, both in terms of sovereign debt and corporate debt positions. The table below presents information on the credit rating awarded by Fitch to the Republic of Bulgaria and the Company.
| Rating | Outlook | |

Management continues to monitor the development of the credit risk for the countries where the Company operates, as well as the main investments (subject to both markets and credit risk).
The Company's management has analysed the expected effect on the overall model of IFRS 9, the results of which are presented in detail below. The focus of the analysis includes:
The general conclusion of the Company's management is that, at the time of issuing this report, no significant deterioration in the credit quality of counterparties due to the war in Russia and Ukraine or the dynamic macroeconomic environment is expected in the short term. Management continues to closely monitor for long-term indications of deterioration.
With respect to the model (including the full and simplified model) for calculating expected credit losses, management believes that no change to the overall model is necessary. The management takes into account the possible short-term risks on the general development of the economy of the main countries in which the Company operates, and in some of the markets the expected reduction of the Gross Domestic Product would be significant, but also takes into account the general expectations for business normalization in 2023, as it is already happening in 2023 with the prices of energy resources.
As of 31 December 2023, there is sufficiently reliable macroeconomic statistics, as well as information on medium-term levels of probability of default. The management has recalculated/modified the model regarding Expected Credit Losses compared to those as of December 31, 2022.
There are force majeure circumstances that can affect business activities in all spheres worldwide. This was caused by the military actions taken by Russia and its invasion of the territory of Ukraine.
As a result of the war that started, a number of countries from around the world, including countries from the European Union, took drastic sanctions against Russia, and partially against Belarus, which supports it.
Eurohold Bulgaria owns, through its subsidiary Euroins Insurance Group AD, investments in insurance companies in Ukraine (Note 13).
The Company has obligations under bank loans to the International Economic Bank, Russia and the International Bank for Economic Cooperation, Russia (Note 20).
Management will continue to monitor the potential impact and will take all possible steps to mitigate the potential effects.

Climate change may affect the entity's assets and liabilities in the reporting period or in the future. Changes in legislation resulting from climate issues may be known (e.g. regulations or negotiated commitments to mitigate the effects of pollution) or only anticipated (e.g. potential changes in business models as well as consumer behaviour, commercial counterparties, creditors and investors). They affect the fair value of assets/liabilities regardless of whether the risks or opportunities associated with them are real or perceived.
Consistent with the previous year, as of 31 December 2023, the Company has not identified significant risks caused by climate change that could have a negative and material impact on the Company's financial statements. Management continually assesses the impact of climate-related issues.
Assumptions could change in the future in response to upcoming environmental regulations, new commitments made and changing consumer demand. These changes, if not foreseen, could have an impact on the future cash flows, financial results and financial condition of the Company.
The interim condensed separate statement of cash flows shows the cash flows for the year in relation to operating, investment and financial activity during the year, the change in cash and cash equivalents for the year, cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and at the end of the year.
The operating cash flows are calculated as a result of the year adjusted with the non-cash operating positions, changes in net turnover capital and corporate tax.
Investment activity cash flows include payments about purchase and sale of fixed assets and cash flows related to the purchase and sale of entities and operations. Purchase and sale of other securities which are not a cash and cash equivalents are also included in the investment activity.
Financial activity cash flows include changes in the amount or composition of share capital and the related costs, the borrowings and the repayment of interest-bearing loans, purchase, and sale of own shares and payment of dividends.
Cash and cash equivalents include bank overdraft, liquidity cash and securities for term less than three months.

The subject of activity of the subsidiaries is as follows:
On 10 February 2023, Eurohold Bulgaria informed the public about illegal actions of employees of the Romanian insurance supervision against the Romanian insurance company "Euroins Romania Asigurare-Reasigurare" S.A. (Euroins Romania) part of the group. Eurohold has informed the FSC and a number of competent state and international bodies and institutions about these actions. On the website of Eurohold Bulgaria AD, in the news section (www.eurohold.bg), the information published by the company can be followed, as well as the subsequent actions and measures taken.
On 17 February 2023, the management of Eurohold Bulgaria AD informed the public (news section of www.eurohold.bg) that despite its disagreement with the actions of insurance supervision officials in Romania against the local division of Euroins in order to protect the company from more further regulatory overpressure, Euroins Romania concluded a new reinsurance contract with the group's reinsurer - ZD EIG Re EAD (EIG Re) (loss of control as of 31.12.2023). This contract guarantees the payment of all claims of the Romanian insurer and ensures the transfer of a significant part (87%) of the risk in its portfolio outside the company, thereby retroceded to leading European reinsurers.
On 17 March 2023, the Romanian financial regulator (Autoritatea de Supraveghere Financiară) revokes the insurance activity license of Euroins Romania Insurance - Reinsurance S.A., a subsidiary of Euroins Insurance Group AD. The regulator's decision also includes the opening of insolvency proceedings and the appointment of the Insurance Guarantee Fund (Fondul de Garantare a Uzumedilor) as a temporary administrator of the company.

The management of Eurohold Bulgaria AD, a majority shareholder in Euroins Insurance Group AD, made a statement that, apart from Euroins Romania, all other subsidiaries and businesses of the Eurohold Group, including insurance, are operating and will continue to operate as usual and without any problems , serving their customers and duties and executing their business plans for the year.
On 21 March 2023, Eurohold requested the return of the license to Euroins Romania. At a press conference in Bucharest, the holding warned that the ASF's decision to revoke the license and request for insolvency leads to the termination of all reinsurance contracts of the Romanian company, as a result of which all damages and claims will have to be paid by the Guarantee Fund (this condition is basic and standard for each reinsurance contract).
Euroins Romania Insurance - Reinsurance S.A., Romania (Euroins Romania), was declared insolvent on June 9, 2023.
In September 2023, the management of Eurohold Bulgaria AD decided to repay the additional capital contributions from Eastern European Electric Company II B.V. in the amount of EUR 22 mln.

In connection with the termination of the license of the Romanian subsidiary of Euroins Insurance Group AD on 17 March 2023 and based on the review of the report of the independent licensed appraisers (as of 31 December 2022, the recoverable amount determined by the appraisers is BGN 478 661 thousand), the management of Eurohold Bulgaria AD has reviewed the appraisers' report and has noted the possibility of hidden effects in relation to the revocation of the license of Euroins Romania Insurance - Reinsurance S.A. and the potential violations of the synergy in the EIG group, maintaining its conservative approach in the assessment of assets, considered that the investment in Romania should be depreciated to the value of the company's reputation in the amount of BGN 52 715 thousand. As a result, in 2022, a depreciation expense of investments in subsidiaries was reported in the amount of BGN 52 715 thousand, and the net value of the investment as of 31.12.2022 was in the amount of BGN 471 100 thousand.
At the end of 2022, Euroins Insurance Group AD sold its investments in Belarus (subsidiary) and Russia (associate).
In 2022, Eurohold Bulgaria AD increased the capital "Eastern European Electric Company II" B.V. according to the applicable provisions of the Dutch legislation - by means of cash contributions with a total amount of EUR 7 255 thousand without the issue of units, the contributions being transferred to a premium reserve.
On 23.05.2022, the Board of Directors of Eurohold Bulgaria AD decided to establish a subsidiary Electrohold Green EOOD with a capital of BGN 20 thousand, divided into 20 equal shares of BGN 1 000 each. As of 31.12.2022, the company has not engaged in activities.
With the Share Sale and Purchase Agreement dated 30.06.2022, the ownership of the 80 001 shares owned by Eurohold Bulgaria AD was transferred to a third party. The shares are available, registered, non-privileged and represented 99.99% of the capital of Auto Union AD. As a result of the transaction, Eurohold Bulgaria AD reports a profit from the sale of investments in subsidiaries in the amount of BGN 97 thousand.
With the Share Purchase Agreement dated 30.06.2022, the ownership of 510 861 shares owned by Eurohold Bulgaria AD was transferred to a third party. The shares are available, registered, non-privileged shares and represented 90.01% of the capital of Eurolease Group AD. As a result of the transaction, Eurohold Bulgaria AD reports a loss from the sale of investments in subsidiaries in the amount of BGN 13 465 thousand.
On 24.02.2022, the Board of directors of Eurohold Bulgaria AD decides to establish a company Daru Invest EAD with a capital of BGN 11 740 000 distributed in 11 740 000 available, registered, non-privileged voting shares, with nominal and issue value from BGN 1 each.
On 22.03.2022, a contract was concluded for the sale of shares of Daru Invest EAD, which finalized the sale of 100% of the capital of Daru Invest EAD.
At the end of the reporting period, the Company's management analyzes and evaluates whether there are indications of impairment of its investments in subsidiaries. The main indicators of impairment are: a significant reduction in the volume or suspension of the activity of the subsidiary company; loss of markets, customers or technological problems, reporting negative net assets or assets below registered share capital, trends in the deterioration of fundamental financial indicators, as well as a decrease in market capitalization.
Calculations are made by management with the assistance of external independent licensed appraisers with appropriate qualifications and experience. As a basis for the cash flow forecasts before taxes, financial forecasts developed by the relevant subsidiaries covering a three to five year period, as well as other medium and long-term plans and intentions for their development, are used.
The key assumptions used in the calculations are determined specifically for each subsidiary and according to its specifics of activity, business environment and risks, the expected future economic benefits that will be received, as well as the positions on Bulgarian and foreign markets, etc.
As of the date of this interim condensed financial statement, the analysis is still not completed.
